3 designs I thought worth taking a picture of

 I thought the interesting use with colour and contrast 
was quite nice on this flier as well as the nice brightness 
of the print, not a huge fan of the type but the layout 
works well I think.

 I found this in "Casino" in Guilford, againg quite a simple 

design but I really like the colour simplicity, Red, Black and 

white such a fantastic comination, all complimenting with 

each other.

I also like the type, it works well with the layout of the
poster, but there was just an interesting feel to it with the 
illuminated back in a dark corridor.

blackvanilla in Black Heath this logo/ type is awesome, I love the simplicity and the hand drawn script type, I assume the idea of the long thin ascenders were to represent vanilla pods contrasted by the other letters designed with a small x height.

All this plus the simplicity of the black and white contrast, I think it's a very attractive shopfront.

Group task, Leeds Music and Venue Promotion.

Taken from a gig booklet for  "Nation of Shopkeepers" all very illustrated with alot of quite random themes but a visually interesting booklet, I quite like alot of the designs used for Nation of Shopkeepers.

The Decoration of nation of Shopkeepers als ohas quit an interesting theme, unusually decorated with different forms of art, whether it is band promotional posters, or wallpaper illustrations and patterns as well as graffiti.

Other Band promotional posters and leaflets, Leeds I feel has a very impressive quality when talking about graphic design used to promote music, Very much Illustration based it seems espevially in venues like Nation, but then it seems a lot of designers are influenced by this style of design which appears to be the fashion at the minute.

A dark and dingey design, neon club themed visuals with alleyway lighting., actually gives a very precise representation of what the actual club and it's surrounding look like.

Much more upper class vintage wallpaper driven aesthetics.


A Roayal arms style logo

And the Roman Serif Type give it a more pronounced posh affair.
