Some more graphical goodness…

Ive been polishing up on my graphical skills recently and after following a tutorial from .net magazine, i ended up with this. The object of the tutorial was to design a large graphical header for a website, and below are the results. The only thing i changed in the tutorial was the characters, they are creations of my own mind, everything else is the same as in the magazine example.

Really i should re do the tutorial now ive learnt the techniques and come up with something completly original, and i will, but i liked my first attempt so have decided to share it with the world….

Looking to the future…..

As i prepare to embark on my 3rd term of my 2nd year ive been reflecting on my experience thus far and have come to the stark realisation that my standards have slipped this year in a number of ways, with that in mind i have created this poster as a reminder to myself, a mission statement if you like that i shall keep in mind as i continue into the latter stages of my degree.

Inspired by the “Design is…..” series of images, a nice simple typographic composistion, i have been reading a lot lately about using grids for composistion and layout and experimented with one in this design.

Below are two variations on the same theme.
