The Summer Collection
Samuel Barran
This booklet contains all the graphic design work that I’ve done over the summer. I created a brand logo and some t shirt designs for a friend, I worked on some advertisements for the British Pedal Company, responded to a talenthouse. com brief and did some personal projects including album covers for my iTunes. I’ve just started the second year of my course on Graphic Design. samscontextualblog.tumblr.com samuelbarran.blogspot.co.uk vimeo.com/samuelbarran issuu.com/samuelbarran
In Huddersfield there are 2,300 businesses in the creative and digital sector. Infographic | City in Flux | 2014

My logo was chosen for the initial t-shirt designs, I wanted to create a simple logo that was condensed into a heart shape.

GH channel (unused logo)
GH channel is a soundcloud account that has over 8,000 subscribers. I thought their logo was outdated and might be in need of a new brand, so I created this logo, after finishing it I found it difficult to contact the account owner so I never heard anything back from sending it but nethertheless I’m still proud of the final outcome.

(#useyourand design challenge)
I really liked designing this piece, it was one of the more enjoyable projects I did over the summer. I was really disappointed that I found out about the competition after it had finished.
Fusions - Vol 1
(Personal album cover design) I had a lot of initial ideas for this album cover but I finding it difficult to pull off the elaborate design I had in my head and started messing around with trying to draw the word “fusions” and managed to create an interesting “U” shape that I then took and experimented with.
I didn’t like the word fusion I had created so I started looking at what I could do with shapes of numbers and still using the ‘U” and created this, I felt that the “1” was easy to see yet intergrated into the design quite well.
Fusions - Vol 1 (Final design)
I thought instead of having two different colours I could use the negative space to make the number appear. I tested this with a lot of different colours both changing the background and shape colours but I came to the decision of using these colours because they work well together. The brightness of the yellow offsets the dark black background.
