Even if I haven’t been doing stuff actually directly relevent to the minor project or my dissertation I’ve still tried to remain a little bit creative/productive and develop new skills along the way – maybe they will come in useful some point in the future, or maybe if I stay in the “zone” long enough I will be able to smash out a metric ton of certifiable bonafide work.
First off, the notice board I mentioned a few blog posts earlier – useful, cheap (free, more or less), and recycled. Win.
I also started designing a generic flyer for a club night I am involved in that runs weekly at ibar in Bournemouth. I mostly book bands and other acts, sort out the majority of online promo, and then do a bit of face-to-face flyering at the AIB. Any who, these are two variations of essentially the same idea/design but I couldn’t decide which I prefered – what do you think?
The one with the name at the top (as opposed to down the side) was a little rushed, sort of like just a proof to see how it might look so bear that in mind!
Generic Flyer One
That one is probably my favourite, but I had to try and see how it might look if I changed the composition slightly:
Second Go
I learnt about making tiles, then bastardising them to make the pattern you see as the background. Quite a useful skill, I suppose!
If anyone had any opinions or suggestions it will cool to hear them! I’ll probably post something else I’ve made (or ‘found’) tomorrow.
