Charity Merchandise


All the mock ups for the type treatments made, just need to produce them, must say they do look alot better visualised than I thought they would.

More Post Layouts



Visualisation of the rough layouts I did earlier on this week, ignore the white space as I will be printing on an off white stock, most likely antique paper or a tone similar to off white sugar paper as it will give the manuals a much less rigid tone that the illustrations inhibit.
Weight will probably be about 140/155gsm

Layouts for Manual




The choice to use black instead of the colour coded base colour for the front covers came when I re evaluated the overall look and feel of the project as a whole. Using black makes the colour stand out much more significantly and avoids the piece looking quite childish in terms of the primary nature of the colours.

Layouts



This demonstrates the application of the grid I intend to use. Since I am terrible with type as I rarely delve into it, I see that the only way to get better is to start somewhere, hopefully  I will get a chance to create some experimental layouts which truly enhance the brief as a whole.

HoS Final Developments



The final outcome of the Heroes brief. Annoyed with myself since the deadline for this has now gone as I wanted to give it my own touch rather than having to design for the client/audience in mind. If I get the chance I would like to make this into a purely illustrative brief with the chance to hold my own exhibition in aid of promoting the ever changing face of science as well as the profane moments that arise from said research into specific fields such as physics or biochemistry.
They are just under the A1 format, but I seriously think I could of done alot more with this brief. Just down to poor organisation.

Scratch Layouts



The first sketches I will be forced to go with since time is of the essence.
I wanted to use a grid that could best suit all the information gathered as well as present itself in context accordingly. Something along the lines of a 3x3 format would be best since I could fit multiple weapons on the pages without having to look like I was trying to make more pages for the sake of making more pages.
This in mind, most video game manuals try to cram as much information into one page as possible, but without loss of information delivery and how it is interpreted by said gamer.

Merchandise Tags



I figured that the next logical step for the range of merchandise would be to produce some tags that can be applied to all the range, as well as still being clearly associated with GamesAid. So I took the rough poster format and readjusted it to suit my needs.
