Impressions of London

These are my 8 postcards I made portraying my impression of London. I began my research by photographing a few places in London that I have been before. I found a piece of graffiti I liked when walking around Shoreditch that read 'Home' is a large, fancy typeface. For me, that word summed up my entire impression on London. I have only lived here for a year and a half and I have enjoyed every minute of it, and I feel so comfortable and adjusted to the fast pace London lifestyle that I do in fact feel very much at Home. The colours I have used are various hue's that portray warmth and comfort, but also a vibrancy that describes the words I have used for each postcard; these are 8 reasons why I love living in London. I think that the image I have created using the typography from the photograph now looks like a logo - a logo that represents my impression of London.

Academic Poster

This is a piece of work that I designed for my Understanding Media module. We were asked to design an academic poster based on what we have learned in the module. The content of the poster was of course the most important aspect of the subject; however I was pleased with the aesthetic of the poster as well as the essay within it. I found an image of a blueprint of the Titanic and used this as theme for the overall look. The white text stands out on the blue background in a fresh way rather than simply having black text on a white background. I concentrated on making the text evenly spaced in columns of three and one column was used for the image.
