In the end this is what I came up with I thought it was sleek well presented and actually looked quite proffessional


Sunday 3 September 2017

We spent a lot of time creating our content for the project and what this came down to was 10 statemnts that would serve as a sort of 10 commandments for us to live by as graphic designers

1. As A designer I will NEVER BE AFRAID TO STEP OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE
2. As A designer I will ALWAYS TEST THE BRIEF TO SEE HOW I CAN PUSH IT
3. As A designer I will NEVER WORK FOR THE EXPOSURE WITHOUT PAY
4. As A designer I will I WILL ALWAYS RESPECT THE POWER OF DESIGN
5. As A designer I will I WILL USE THE POWER OF DESIGN RESPONSIBLY
6. As A designer I will NEVER BE AFRAID TO PUSH BEND OR BREAK THE RULES
7. As A designer I will ALWAYS LOOK FOR NEW AND EXCITING PROJECTS
8. As A designer I will ACCEPT THE FACT THAT I SHALL NEVER STOP LEARNING
9. As A designer I will TRY TOO INTRODUCE MY PERSONALITY TO MY WORK
10. As A designer I will NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE COMIC SANS

Right from the start I knew I wanted to do something along the lines of a secret/ most wanted file. I started looking at most wanted posters and and old classified files to help me get an idea of the visual direction I wanted to go in.  Here are few examples of the stuff I was looking at. I Liked the idea of recreating that typriter feel in some way. I also like how everthing is very plain clean and simple I thought this could be something I could recreate.



CV

For my CV I didn't want to change much as I was very happy with my outcome from the last project. I even managed to get a design job using it. I think most of the reason I did badly was because I didn'y have much support work. So I decided too try and outline the process of I made the CV and what went into it.
Finally I Brought this into indesign and began experimenting with how this could interact with my body text. I decided upon this in the end just laying it over the top. I thought it looked most natural and really created the mood I was going for
Next I scanned this layout into photoshop and started to play around with it deleting the background then moving parts around, increasing the size of certain parts generally just improving the layout a little bit at a time. Here you see the layout I decided upon.
Next I Got a load of Newspapers and went to town cutting them up until I had loads of different letters in all shapes and sizes. Then I started moving them around on the page trying out loads of different combinations until I found one I liked. WHen I did I stuck it down on tracing paper to see how It could interact whith my columns of text. Below are images of this process
