Project 4 Brand New

There was two parts to this project 1. make a business card.
2. invent something unique.



1. Here is my business card. It is design to replicate part of a controller and is embossed with very light buttons. Which has written on them real life actions relating to my profession. On the flip side is all the necessary information on how to contact me and what my profession is.



2. This is what I have invented it is called a PS3 trophy card. How it works; this card works by updating all your trophies into this card which can be updated with every trophy you earn, by going to your local game shop to update. How it rewards you (USP) The PlayStation trophy card gives you access to discounts, exclusive DLC (downloadable content), exclusive beta's and Vip access during popular gaming events such as E3 and GamesCom. This means you can now finally be rewarded in the real world for earning trophies.


I also made a promotional flyer to go with it. The flyer has all the neccassary information about the ps3 trophy card and how it works and reward system. The more trophies you get the better rewards you get.
The font used is called PhatBoy Slim, its the same font used on the official Sony PlayStation 3 consoles.

Quote Poster (brief 3)



Pablo Picasso-

Pablo Ruiz y Picasso, known as Pablo Picasso, born on 25 October 1881 died 8 April 1973. He was a Spanish painter, sculptor, print maker, ceramicist, and stage designer who spent most of his adult life in France. As one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century, he is widely known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of constructed sculpture, the co-invention of collage, and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore.

The quote I was given was: "Give me a museum, and I'll fill it." My interpretation of this quote is simple give me a chance and I will not disappoint.

From what I have seen he works manually. So I decided to reflect this ability in my
poster, by using a elegant handwritten typeface called Aspire. I believe it fits this context well not just because it is a elegant typeface and also because it its name it gives connotations of achievement. So therefore the quote fills up the main space of the poster and all the letters and ligatures fit around the quote as a boarder, to give my poster boundaries just as Picasso would of had to, could say I that I have given my quote 3 walls as opposed to four, in doing this I am allowing a section of the poster to be opened as a sense of entry point required to view the poster.

Quote poster 2nd attempt (Improvement).

I made improvements to the initial poster based on the feedback i received. I therefore done more extensive research of Picasso and his work and came up with this designed quote poster. Which works well as it fuses with hes work and his quote, which previously just fused with his quote only and not his work.

Which where there put together on the text and I moved each individual section to create distort look much similar to his real life work. So it becomes known as he's quote poster more distinctly.

Project 2 Chance or fate ?

We had a number of different ideas plying in our heads, such as live interviewing each other and making a text based leaflet, but in the end we decided to do a radio station type online recording. We studied how they approach this online by using simple stills of the people talking, and the audio of them expressing there opinions relating to the matter at hand, so we went with this concept. As it allowed us to express our opinion in a very serious and direct manor and capture the emotion of each speaker clearly. Simple but effective. 




 We got feedback which was very informative like why didn't we ask each other the same questions? this would of helped to improve this piece if we were to do so. So we redone it.

Project 1 10 ideas for youth station.

I was working along side Jason copping on this project as we were encouraged to collaborate. We came up with a gaming website for youth. the type of video games range from retro video games to modern video games offering a range of content. No age limit to this because your never old enough to play video games.
This is the final app logo we designed and decided to stick with its simple and clearly displays our brand identity, what we are about etc.

This is the final main logo we designed and decided to stick with. It is simple and clearly displays our brand identity. What we are about, as well showing retro and modern games to show we are for any gaming audience.


This is concept of a web page we made. clearly displays gaming consoles, some of our products, logo and live streaming events to take place. Our unique u.s.p. we decided to host on line events and who ever wins gets currency to spend on our website to download mini games and avatars for modern generation consoles. For the retro gamer we will offer vintage t shirts relating to the games. On our website also are: reviews, previews, articles, products, rate games, videos, chat system, forums, online streaming, and console specific technology gadgets such as gaming chairs etc that have been detailed reviews and rated.


The first idea I initially had was a self help website called Better nature designed to improve confidence and overcome many psychological states that is becoming more and more common such as anxiety and depression. I like the idea of helping people out in their time of need, feeling appreciated for helping is a worth while feeling. The website will work like this: videos of all topics will be updated regular on a strict time table and then the videos will be put into their specific category, for example depression will have its own playlist of videos designed to help you beat it, so on and so forth. 

Towards the end of this idea me and Jason decided to join up and do this together or do something new entirely which turned out to be The Geek Within concept. Here is a render of my Logo and website layout for this concept (Better Nature).


Here is the logo design which is clean, simple and effective. Giving my brand a distinct mature feeling. I done them in a few colors to show a range. Preferred one is the blue background logo. Red tie for the letter T is a good idea because red is the color associated with confidence and a tie is a sign of smart and confidence.


Here is the website layout I have implemented most feature from Facebook and you tube and will sell advertising space to those who wish to advertise their products in relation to my website (Self help).
