Rationale (200 words)
Obediah – Collaborative Clothing Label I am going to explore branding, editorial & layout through retail to create a new clothing label because I wish to further develop my typography skill set.
LCA Football Promotion I am going to create & develop a range of football material that will publicize the university football team. This will allow me to develop my promotional and public sector advertisement areas
Reveal 2 I am going to create an editorial publication, which leads on from the previous Reveal magazine at the end of level five. This magazine shows the work of other designers (which allows me to network) whilst also creating and publishing my own designs. This will allow me to focus on bookbinding, pagination & printing.
Rhythm, Colour & Space I am going to create a range of publications that explore visual communication through the use of colour & symbols to replace and work alongside typography. This will allow build up more conceptdeveloped work that both interests me and pushes me to find a conceptual outcome whilst still proving my professional design skills.
