Promo 2 Brief - Graphics

I'am looking to create further design ideas/solutions in connection to the advertising assignment just covered.
 
Firstly (in the first week) I should consider the application of a logo/identity to various materials in order for the business to be seen more clearly in the local and national community.
  • A Business card, stationary
  • A Banner for web or hard copy, or a shop front
  • A T-shirt design
Which have to be presented on a mounting board or within your A2 portfolio.
 
Secondly (in the following four weeks) you should produce work of a more in-depth and personal nature that is again fitting to the assignment's promotion. Making 3 choices from the following:
  • Create a 'Point of Sale' design promotion/environment
  • A web based range of pages
  • Storyboards and a film based advert
  • Packaging of a related product
  • A leaflet, a flyer, or a magazine editoral
  • Signage
These need to be presented in an appropriate and fitting way; photographed and or copied into your portfolio, and also presented to the group in a group PowerPoint presentation.
 
The three choices I have chosen are:
1) Packaging of a related product
2) A leaflet, a flyer, or a magazine editoral
3) Signage.
 
I wanted to pick these choices because I felt they were more practical for my project in the sense that I could produce good designs around them then if I were to have picked some of the other categorys where I wouldn't know where to start and then which could then lead onto creating designs which I don't like and that I'm not happy with.

Final Outcome For Aquarium Poster Project - Graphics

 
 
This is one of my final pieces for my graphics project where I had to produce a poster based on a new aquarium. I created this image out of tissue paper by firstly drawing different kinds of aquatic fish onto different coloured tissue paper using a pen and then cutting the shapes out and then adding patterns trying to make them more realistic. And I used this process again to create the reefs but instead of drawing I decided to rip the tissue paper to give it a more rustic effect which I think makes the piece more interesting and eye-catching. Finally I scanned in the image onto photoshop and added typography as well as a logo to make the piece more professional.
