As I’ve recently changed the style of my self promotion aspects slightly, I needed to update my website and alter the logo etc.

I’ve now added headers to each page, changed the colour scheme and made the site look more streamlined and professional. I think it’s turned out well, however I originally changed it to completely black and white. I’ve now changed it and chose a teal shade to reflect certain aspects - such as the roll overs on the buttons and buttons on other pages.

I finished off the type a day project by adding the letters into an alphabet. They are already printed and produced into a set of cards but I wanted to display them properly in this format too.

When I look at the set of cards I always want to colour them in so this is good as a successful outcome would be that people upon receiving the cards and shuffling their creative imagination would want to do the same!

I was recently asked to produce a Snapchat geofilter for someone who is going to be having a garden party for their birthday and wants guests to be able to use a filter whilst they are there.

There is a Hippy theme throughout so I reflected that in the clothing and colours! This was a really fun one to do, I went off a portrait photograph of the client and then sketched out a cartoon style version.

Myself and Lisa have been working on the final A3 boards - which will be handed in as a digital PDF. Just need to add in my extra project I did separately to the end then this PDF will be finished.

Twitter and Instagram handles set up and displayed ready for presenting on the final PDF board for hand in.

These are some of the Instagram posts that I created to reflect some of the pages of the actual magazine. The main outcome for these is to encourage the audience to purchase the magazine and follow the Instagram account for regular updates and special features that we have included.

We did try photographing our magazine in a studio environment but against white, we decided it would be better displayed on a darker background. Here are some recent shots of the final printed piece we received from the printers.

It’s great to see it finally come together as a physical piece of print and now the next step is to design the invites to the event launch and create the wrapping paper that the magazine will be presented in.

Some more images of the boxes finished and with the cards inside. As in the previous post, I’m still unhappy with the finish of the boxes due to the folded edges looking scuffed, but I’m please with how the overall concept has worked out.

[yasminfarrahstopford]

The cards inside can be moved around, rearranged, shuffled etc. they are approx 5.5cm so are small enough to fit in your pocket too!

Test box and then the final one at the bottom.

I’m disappointed with the way the box has been finished. As it is black print on white card, the edges that have been folded and were white have cracked and so it doesn’t look very neat which is a shame.

The scanned in versions of my typography for the type-a-day card set.

I chose elements from the type-a-day pieces I have created and selected letters that stood out to me. The concept of this is that people would receive a box (net shown above) which includes these cards. You can shuffle the cards, make words with them, colour them in etc. to give you some typography inspiration!

I will be printing a few nets to practice with first before the final one is folded and made up with the cards inside. I think this is a really nice idea and is also something which would be a nice finishing touch for a creative CV to send to potential employers/clients.
