Noir Magazine - Conceptual mazine and masthead design.
I must apologise for the lack of content here recently. As a design student now in my second year of my course (part time) I am pretty busy with homework a lot of the time. I hope to have a range of different tutorials up over the coming weeks though.
Not to mention photos and assignment pictures.
*** The above assignment features photography by yours truly. The image is one I took of up and coming singer, Katie Weston.
This began life as a design for a friend’s photography business however it seemed to take on a life of it’s own and by the time I finished the logo, it was nothing like what we had discussed or where I had initially wanted the design to go. So, to that end, I created a “fake” business (my apologies to any real photography businesses called “Blue Lotus”, if you like this we can talk) and let the design speak for itself rather than trying to make it fit a completely different concept.
The above, of course, is the front of the business card. I achieved a sort of “cool zen” with the colours and the minimalist design.
Sorry Tam! Soooo not what I was thinking for Talisman Photography.
For the the first part of the assignment, we had to design a logo. The second part was designing stationary; A4 letterhead and and letterhead follower, compliment slip, business card and business envelope.
PS – Illustrator causes me no end of heartache!
