Project Branding

Posted: October 1, 2014 | Author: | Filed under: Crafts, DkIT, DkIT Third Year, Major Project | Leave a comment

 

This  was a group year long project. The idea of the project was a joint collaboration of ideas from all 4 group members.
Over the 2 semesters we created an interactive art installation which allowed members of the public to create generative digital art on a screen by using a bicycle.
My role in the development stage of the project was primarily design, branding and PR. I worked with the programmer in guiding him towards the visual style that the graphics should replicate.
I designed all the marketing material using graphics generated by the installation.
The physical installation was built by another group member, my role was to give the exhibition space a consistent brand identity, which included decorating the projection screen, designing the banner and team t-shirts and creating an informational video to loop on a monitor during the exhibition.

Concept Craft Website

Posted: October 1, 2014 | Author: | Filed under: Crafts | Tags: , | Leave a comment

This is a fictional website created in Adobe Flash for a Multimedia Authoring class. The brief was to create a website for whatever subject interested us, it just needed to contain at least 4 pages, have images, video and sounds.

Being a big craft enthusiast I came up with the idea of the site which could be a resource for people wanting to get into crafting. I wanted it to be colorful and inviting. There is a seperate page for paper crafts, sewing and baking along with videos and resources pages. The actual text content is simply copy and pasted from other website (there was no actual marks going towards writing the content yourself, this was an assignment on how to build a functioning Flash website). The cover design was a photograph I took of one of my own sewing projects.

Concept CD Booklet Design

Posted: January 11, 2013 | Author: | Filed under: Crafts, DkIT Second Year, Graphic Design, Music, Photoshop, Uncategorized | Tags: , , , , , , | 1 Comment

This is a concept CD booklet created for a 2nd year Visual Communications project.

The brief was to create the artwork in Photoshop and put the pages together with InDesign:

  • choose a genre of music (I chose Modern Folk)
  • get a band name from a randomly selected Wikipedia page (Korkuteli)
  • get an album title from a randomly selected from quotationspage.com (“the truth about other people”)

I used a simple line drawing of 2 girls whispering and recreated it in lino print. This was my first ever lino print so thats why its on the simple side.

I applied a brown paper texture to the background because I wanted to give it a handmade folksy feel and I thought the blue tint (applied in Photoshop) complemented the paper colour. Originally I had only used blue on all pages but my lecturer suggested that maybe I could introduce a few more colours. I generated a pallette in Adobe Kuler and used the results for my final submission. I’m still in two minds about the extra colour, I liked the simplicity of the blue album but the coloured one is the one I submitted and I ended up with 77% (which is pretty damn good, if I do say so myself!)

Craft Project

This is a sign I made for my nephew’s bedroom – (as his parents didn’t see fit to name him after a premiership footballer or cast member of “Made in Chelsea” they couldn’t find one with the seemingly normal name “Neil” on it so we had to make one instead!)

Quilt #3

Posted: June 5, 2012 | Author: | Filed under: Crafts, Graphic Design | Tags: , , , , | 3 Comments

Been keeping myself busy on my college holidays…(relevant work experience still eludes me). I’ve made a quilt for my boyfriend’s sister who is expecting her first child in August (hope she’s not following this blog because it’s meant to be a surprise!).

This is the 3rd quilt I’ve made so far…it measures approx. 1m x 1m. I purposely chose bright, happy colours and as we don’t yet know the gender of the baby I steered clear of any pink (although I have included blue, I feel girls are just that bit more open to colours that aren’t typically associated with their gender – we’re just more mature in that way I guess!). I also steered away from using pastel shades as I want this to be something the child can has forever and I tend to associate pastels with babies.

All fabric was procured from my local haberdasher, The Remnant Basket in Dundalk.

It probably took about 10 hours to complete, I’ll need to shave a bit of time off the production process if I’m to set up my own sweat shop in my spare room – probably best I just stick to making them occasionally for pregnant family members.

World, I give you Mars Planets Cookies…you’re welcome

Homemade Cookies made with Mars Planets!

Got this genius while in the cinema with my friend watching Hunger Games…I’m sort of worried that seeing people fight for their lives for food (in a nutshell) made me come up with something so indulgent and decadent…maybe I’m just a bad person?…anywho, these are some pretty nice cookies, I used Mary Berry’s “Mega Chocolate Chip Cookie” recipe and added the planets before baking…the nougat ones tend to explode and look a bit gross (sorta reminding me of that scene in The Gremlins when one of them gets put in a microwave…I pretty much stayed clear of anything cooked in our microwave for most of my childhood and teenage years after seeing that)…but I digress, my suggestion would be to maybe try not to put so many of those ones in in future.
