Poster Branding

For the poster branding I have come up with something.  I did some research on Digital Media in general and on pixels as I thought a pixel theme would suit the show brand and everyone could relate to it.  However I came up with something else:

I wanted to create something that would make the show name stand out.  I created the type with yellow, blue, green and red dots.  Some layered on top of others.  In the background I have a slight gradient to enhance the text and bring it to life.  For the poster title and the lowered text, I just added a querky white text.  I don't want to settle on this text, I have this in as a stand-in font as my main focus was on the middle text.  I wanted to make the dotted text stand out whilst have a certain element of class about it.  

We have all created different posters for our show and we will analyse each one and decide on a favourite as a group. 

Postage & Drink Responsibility

I have volunteered to be part of the postage, invites and drinks.  My job is to design the show invitations with Chloe and to be in charge of postage.  I have also volunteered to be in charge of drinks along with drinks.

I have come up with some branding for the invites that i have sketched out and I will post them soon. We have decided that we should send actual physical invitations instead of E-mails because we felt that people within the design industry would be more likely to attend.  We felt this because an E-mail could get over looked or maybe ignored.  An invitation actually coming through your own door would be looked at.  We are planning to send E-mails however just at a later date to remind people when our show is.  This would include dates, times etc as the invites would too.

For postage I have been doing some research for prices and for how many we need:

These are the prices for letters at different weights and sizes.

For drinks, me and Jake have been trying to sort out a sponsor for our show to get alcoholic drinks cheaper.  We are thinking of getting beer/ale and/or wine.

Job Titles

We have all been given job titles for what we will cover over the course of this project.  It has become apparent there is a lot of work to be done here so we as a group, decided to dedicate everyone different jobs.

Here is our jobs preparation:

Above here is the board of aspects we needed to cover and who is labelled to that particular job.  We have Prep: everyone is involved in this.  Social Media, updating social media sites to promote our show.  Invite list: Invitations for the show.  Drinks: Drinks for the show.  Venue: hanging up work and taking stuff down is everyones job.  

Above here is a timeline of where we would like to be every week.  We thought it would be a good idea to produce this because we want to keep on track of deadlines and things to be accomplished.  Some of these consist of name of our show, poster design, branding, invitation design and postage etc.

The Brief:  End of Year Graduation Show

Our next brief has come and it is our end of year show.  This means presenting our work in Brighton to family, friends and the public.  Its a chance for people that work with design to see us and what we do.  We all have to agree with a name for the show and a branding poster to promote it.  We will each design and produce self business cards to promote ourselves for the show and for the future.

What we will have to submit:

Group Branding for the Show
Two images and two .mov movie files for the show-reel and inclusion for the Show
Online portfolio
Up to date CV
