PERSONAL BRANDING

My final Personal branding, I have went with something fresh and new and also i wanted a design that wasn't to busy and i could use it for multi purposes, i.e website design, letter head design and business card design. at first i thought the design was a bit bland because it was all black but as i tested different colours i released that black would defiantly be the best option as other colours didn't work well with the type of design.

GRADUATE SHOW

This is a example of a graduate studio for the final show and i uploaded it for inspiration on what we could possibly do for out own graduate final show. 

I like how they have used a mixed of font and numbers because it adds a total different aspect to the course, also i like show it is very busy and almost everything will catch your attention however on the other side it might overpower the work and to make it less noticeable which would be a great loss 

PACKAGING

I found this in a blog that i viewed and it just jumped out at me because if the fresh and shiny look it has, this piece of work was for a packaging brand and i personally think it really work because of the style they have gone for. its minimal but still powerful and it stand outs from others on the shelf. 

NEGOTIATED PROJECT - SONIC

Today Sonic continues to be an iconic video gaming character with an MSN poll of the most iconic video game characters, ranking Sonic at Number 1, with Mario and Lara Croft ranked second and third respectively. Since 2004, Sonic has seen huge success on every video game platform that has been launched. Some of his most successful recent video games include Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games and Sonic and SEGA All Stars Racing.
