Posters

Like the textures in this poster, really interesting and draws you in.. need this in my posters!!



Punk poster = my genre of music.. kind of.. use of black, red and white.. I need to think about this..





Typeface for Billy Talent.. something I might need to look into to bring my work together.. to make it look quite raw and rough round the edges.. 

posters..

Need to sit back and not panic and just do it.. I think I'm just trying to put something together because I don't have time.. and this is the time to realise that it ain't gonna work..

I want to make a new typeface that can be seen on the posters and album covers etc.. also, get some idea of band posters for design context.. this will help!!!!

Powerpoint..

Booklets..

For the inside of my albums, I have designed a a booklet which has the lyrics of the songs inside.. 


As I was designing them, I found it very time consuming, so I have decided to just do 2 for now, and then if I have time later, to do the others, as there is much more I want to do with this brief, and need to get on with.. however, here it is so far..

I want to keep with the 'ska' kind of feel, and the colour scheme is the same as the covers, red, white and black..

Logo.. one day brief..

Taken from the poster I designed, I have come up with a logo/design that will go on the makeup..

With a lace texture for the packaging and using the pink for the branding, which came from the poster design..

Packaging will be like a handbag.. Also need to look at fake eye lashes, nails and nipple tassles.. packaging.. Would be good to have a booklet about how to do makeup..

Burlesque..

This is the poster I designed for them last year.. I want to keep this the same and work from it.. I plan on taking parts from the poster and using them in the makeup product design and overall carrier..

Burlesque Kit

ITS MADNESS.. poster

Poster that would come with the cd.. one for each.. using snippets from song and the image.. maybe where the image came from..

Want to look at textures more.. not keen on the red on black.. too much?

Total Madness

Total Madness includes 'love struck'.. quite quirky looking.. think it needs a bit more work.. looks quite tacky I think.. 

It's Madness

I prefer the typeface at the bottom, it's a bit weird, but I think it reflects the album and compliments the image.. 

Utter Madness

'Wings of a dove' is on this 'utter madness' album, and so this is why I have included an illustration of a dove.. this would only really work well if it is screen printed, as the white would come out much nicer than being printed, and would also be able to keep the texture of paper etc..

Something to consider..

After talking to Steph, she suggested that I use the same colour throughout the covers.. as the illustrations are all very similar, this could look quite effective.. I am going to choose maybe 3 colours and do 3 variations.. maybe change opacity etc.. too.. 


Screen printing would be good too.. so I should look into doing this too..

Complete Madness

'Night boar to cairo' is on this album.. and a well known object from madness is the fez hat.. which is also seen in their video..

Quick idea for complete madness.. the composition needs to be played with, it doesn't look very good.. but I like the components..

The rise & fall

'Our House' is on this album.. so I wanted to try portray this on the cover.. don't think I have got it quite right at the moment.. 

Maybe show the house actually in a street.. may look a bit better.. 

Hate the colour.. needs something that will stand out.. maybe stick to the red/yellow colours..

Think the colour needs more work.. but I might be able to work it out once I know what stock I am going to use..

7

The idea behind this cover is 'the birds and the bees'.. this is mentioned in one of the songs.. 'must be love' which was a song that got quite high in the charts..

Colour is difficult with this one.. I really want to just keep it to one colour, but I have already used yellow.. so it will be difficult to make the bee.. as black and yellow is what it is..maybe.. maybe when doing the other covers, I may find that 3 colour is how it goes down..

OR

choose a yellow stock to print on.. then a another colour can be introduced.. 

I need to include the madness logo again, this could be the 'bee'.. and need to include the number 7, which could be in the bird's eye.. nice and subtle..

This works so much better.. the stock would be on a yellow and the added colour would be a brown that is on the bird.. the 'M' acts as the bee and the title of the song is in the birds eye.. 

this is quite abstract to the name of the album.. might be quite good to go back and do the same to the other 2 albums done already.. maybe illustrate a part of the song.. but will do this later.. KEEP GOING..

Illustrations..

Absolutely

Traced a still from baggy trousers.. well known saxophone player that is flying about the video.. was re-done in the advert in the pub quite recently.. may need to look at the other positions too..

Quick idea of how the cover may look.. doesn't really show him in the sky.. different pose maybe.. keep experimenting..

Don't like the image of the sax, too simple and doesn't work.. like the idea of the title coming from the instrument though..

I cut the image of the person playing the sax in half, think this works in a similar way to the 'one step beyond...' image.. colour that stood out in that cover was red, this time I am using yellow.. again the background is grey, but this may change depending on the stock I choose to use.. but I want it to be quite a dull colour..

I think the image at a larger scale works best.. still unsure about the type.. I have hand drawn it, so it fits with the last cover.. need to look into this more.. but as I have the image done, I am going to move onto the next cover and come back to it..
