The NEW FACE of MPC Publication magazines....

So, for the past 4 months I have been working on six local magazines a month, that get distributed in north London. After being asked for ideas as to how these magazines could develop, I decided to redesign their main heading. So this is the first month that my design has been used for these magazines. The advert I have produced for them is below. Hope You like. And if you have a busineess in North London in any of the following areas, feel free to call and book some advertising space.



Areas These magazines are distributed in are:

Southgate
Muswell Hill
Highgate
East Barnet
High Barnet
Winchmore Hill

I've been LDN!!!

Hey again, whilst I was playing around with my t-shirt designs, trying out different colours for the t-shirts, I
come across this very darker concept using a background colour of black...I dont know about you, but I feel that this has some aesthetical quality to it.... anyways, hope u like!.....and, in other news, in a few weeks I shall be the guest 'post it' on @iamanoctopus blog! So my work will be placed somewhere else other than my own blog!

Potential T-shirt Idea...:)

So, I had a meeting with a boss of a print company last week and he asked for me to design some concepts for possible t-shirt/ baseball caps to sell. Below is the demo idea for which I intend on forwarding to him. The concept is basically about London, there are so many different areas of London that are world famous; the idea is to create a series of t-shirts all in the same style however each t-shirt has a different landmark of London on it....they are to work as a 'collectable' in a sense...enjoy.



If you like these, please comment.

guest 'post it of the day' brief.

'Ello all, not uploaded much lately, been busy 'kinda' with uni exhibition and work. What I've uploaded here is a result of a brief of a friend of mine @iamanoctopus. He is the king of 'post it' note mockery, however he soon will have a 'guest week' where seven other people will produce a 'post it of the day' for his blog. This is one of my post it results again mocking current political issues.

I hope you all like.

Cheers.

Random Post: (Weller/ Uni FMP show)

So, I'm off to see Paul Weller tonight at the Royal Albert Hall. Saw him last year at The O2 Arena, he was brilliant that night, and I'm sure he's going to be immense again tonight. I have actually found the unreleased Style Council album on youtube, and I must say, I cant understand why it was never released by the record company. It was an album ahead of its time maybe, but it would have been hailed as the first breakthrough of BRITISH 'house music'. But, eh, I'm glad I can now finally listen to it on youtube. LOL.

In other news, theres a certain line in a Stuck Mojo song that has really grabbed my attention as of late, which is

"it doesn't matter to me anymore who you think I am, I'm all I can be"

what a brilliant defiant saying!, It couldn't be more perfect! haha.

AND, finally, the final show at uni is about to be set up over the next two weeks. Was good to hear yesterday that my work has made it to the final show. My Vinyl sleeve design that I produced for Drowned At sea, will be displayed, as well as the CD sleeve versions, and the flyers series. I'm quite glad they said not to put the video in the exhibition, as it would have to be cut down to 2 MINS!, that would have meant 4 mins being cut off my concept music video, which would have ruined the whole idea of the concept video and its purpose of it.

However, I have thought of a way to advertise the video piece in the exhibition as I would still like people to see it. :)

There is more I would like to express about some other things, but I'm not going to, because people will read it, and I'd be in trouble. :S

Anyways, if your around the East- End of London, while not come along to the London Met final show? Find out the details on the website. :) or If i remember, I'll upload them here.

FMP Final Pieces, well, some of them...

Here it is, the final LP size album sleeve design for 'Drowned At Sea'. This is one of the main outcomes for my final major project. Along with the LP are two CD size sleeves, one exactly the same to this LP sleeve pictured here, the second is an alternative version where the colour arrangement has been reversed.

(Front of outside sleeve)

(back of outside sleeve)

(Inner sleeve is pulled out from the top of the outer sleeve)

(Once inner sleeve is released from outer sleeve, vinyl is released from inner sleeve via the side.)

Also, I have completed the EP teaser preview video for hand in on Friday. Check it out and see what you think......

Photography for designers 3/ Bond 're-creation' pics...

This is a sample of the final images I have created to 're-create' a scene from Casino Royale. In the film the poker game visually is very bright lit and has a 'classy' appeal. I wanted to reverse this by creating a dark theme with the use of blacked out backdrops and one light source.
Overall, I feel that these have turned out well (at least much better than I could have expected...

May Bank Hol Weekend news...(if your interested, prob not though)

So, this weekend was pretty eventful, was one set of mates wedding and another mates birthday. The wedding was very good day, especially for the couple who have been together TEN YEARS!, what a way to celebrate that eh? LOL.

I was one of my mates 'Best Men' (he had THREE, haha) and I wrote a speech, and then made the mistake of being the one to say it. I should have let my mate Glenn say it really, because if ever there was a time where I would 'crash and burn', well in my opinion this was it. However some people say it wasn't that bad, but after eventually watching it back, my opinion hasn't changed. Don't know why, but I was really shaking to the point where it was really obvious. So from the experience I'd say probably wouldn't consider being a 'best man' again.....

Anyways, yesterday was a friends 25th birthday (yes she's knocking on a bit. haha, only joking). I ended up arranging something for her birthday for a few friends to do in the evening to celebrate. Booked a game of bowling, not much, but was all I could think of, because I very rarely arrange something for someone else......I hope she enjoyed it, I thought it was a decent evening anyways....

So, uni is drawing to a near end, FMP is getting there, photography I think is dead in the water and needs a shot of adrenaline ASAP!!, and I need to start sending emails out to companies for their consideration for job offers...

Drowned At Sea, Changed graphic outcome (FINAL week 11)

These are the final outside and inside sleeve graphics for the new Drowned At Sea EP. The Orange text on the outer sleeve will actually be cut out, to allow the orange inner sleeve to show through.


Well, here it is, the final new promo shots for 'Drowned At Sea'. I hope you all like. And erm, hope the band like them too. Haha. The use of Orange will be made clear in the next couple of posts.

FMP/ DROWNED AT SEA RELATED...

This is the final promotional/ gig poster for Drowned At Sea, a band I have been working on for my final major project at uni. Hope you like.


Now all the graphic elements are pretty much complete, I can now try finish off the sketchbooks which is pretty stressful, and of course commence with the concept video piece that I intend on producing as another outcome for my project.

Oh, and I've really been slacking in my photography project. I need a good kick up the arse when it comes to that project, been spending all my time on FMP. Oh dear...
