Final Major Project (FMP)

For my final major project i am looking at re-branding the logo for Alpro Soya. As of the moment i am just doing large amounts of  research. i have emailed Alpro and other companies that offer products that are similar to them. i have heard back from a few and am still awaiting a reply from Alpro.

Here is there website:  http://www.alprosoya.co.uk/ 

University Interview.

Recently i had my interview for The University of Greenwich. It is a course that is provided for us at the college which is a HND but is equivalent to me getting my degree. I felt that the interview was really laid back it really wasn't what i thought it was going to be like. I took my portfolio and left it there for a while and then got called in for a brief interview with the tutors on the course.  i really liked the tutors they seem really nice and kind. they offered me a place on the course then and there.

I'm so excited!!

Typograpy

A project i have recently had to do is a typographical based project. we had to create a poster for a book of type. the book i choose was Hand Job: A catalog of type.

Here is my final outcome. I am really proud to have achieved this and such a good final piece.

I have been working on my website today. i have been playing around with the font and logo that i really want to use. Here is what i have come up with so far.

Web designs

I have been looking for a while for some ideas for my unit 10 website that i have to build. i have final found a layout i really like. I think i would be able to work this and design it well.
