Final live brief outcomes for TLK and Inspire

This is the Final Inspire Poster that will be printed and shown around the university to promote the talks. I helped in the designing of the layout of the posters, I think they turned out well. The tickets that another section of our group designed also have the same layout, following the same continuity.

The inspire logo was designed by Russel. The logo represents the thought process of an individual being inspired, a visual representation of the word 'inspire'. I feel the colours used are very appropriate, even though pink sometimes can be seen as a girly colour. The pink in this case works well with the purple and the graphic image, appeals to a wide audience.

The TLK Logo was designed by Ben. The logo has a simple design that works on many levels and can be used for different media. The bold type at the top of a specially chosen colour choice. The white type and the muted colours give a fresh, light feel to the design. Each of the four colours will be one of the four events that will take place over the next year at The Arts University Bournemouth. When that event comes round the posters should be easy enough to change, just make that certain colour larger and drop down the other colours but still showing all the information.

These are the layouts with the original text which still i still like but in my crit the typography didn't go down so well, the main concern was that the text looked to much like it had been done on paint on Illustrator tool. I have experimented with other methods of producing hand rendered text, using ink and paints, i tested them in the book cover layouts. I thought still that the original text looked the best and suited the random colour images on the pages and fitted the non-guided layout. These examples above are my preferred layouts.

I have now finished the layout for my front, back covers and spine, all i need to focus on is the title and what type i will finally use. The back cover is simple name, title, blurb and barcode with price. This same layout will follow out though out all my books, making my graphic system.   

The net for my box-set.

Graham Greene Book Covers

I have designed six book covers to fit in a display box, this item this will be sold as a collectable for excising fans or for new readers. This box set will give the to reader to own and read some of Graham Greene's best novels. The books have a graphic sequence to them, the connection is when you lay the books down next each other in the right order they will make up an image of Graham Greene this image will also be seen on the outside of the box as a secret guide, I think Graham Greene would enjoy this little twist was he was in the secret intelligence service which influenced his book 'Our man in Havana' . The colours of both the books and the box are very bold with a black background which makes the bright colourful image and text pop, this for me sums up his career, his writing was always quite serious but at the same time being very popular.      

Book Cover Design

Chosen author Graham Greene. 

This is my new graphic sequence book design for a box set i want to create. This design is yet to be finished, but along the lines of what i want to make. These box sets will be aimed at people who are fans of Graham Greene or people who have yet to read his work. All his most famous books have been picked, so his new/old readers may get a true taste of his great novels.
