Logo Creation

For Part A of our final prepress module we had to design a logo that tied in with the Australiana theme without using the typical Australian icons like the Sydney Opera House, Ayers Rock and other typical icons.

We had to base our design on the Aussie Battler.  I came up with the idea of an old rickety fence that you see in the farming communities in the outback with overgrown grass.



This is the grey version of my logo

 We also had to develop particular stationery using this design, including business cards, letterhead and with compliments slip.



Presentation of logo and stationery design

Photobook - Final Assessment Part B Tech 3

Here is my photobook - what do you think

Photobook - Part B Final Assmt Tech 3

Magazine - Final Assessment Part A Tech 3

Hi all here is what I came up with for Part A for the Final Assessment for Technology 3.

Only basic steps but hopefully it is easy to follow!

Let me know your thoughts.

Photobook

Here is the link to my first attempt at my very own photobook! Pages do flip a bit fast... will need to work on that a bit more I think!

Photobook

Workplace Signs

This was the first part of the final assessment for the OH&S area.... my drawing still has quite a way to go especially with the goggles!!

Induction Process for New Employees

As one part of the final assessment task for the occupational health and safety component, we had to do up a slideshow to cover OH&S as part of an inducation program from new employees as well as serving as a refresher for current employees.

Here's what I came up with: Slideshare - OHS Induction for new employees

Drawing with type

With this assigment you had to use type-on-a-path tool.  I really liked this but I couldn't find out where to fix my kerning when in illustrator.... maybe this is because I have a newer version and looks different than the examples provided in the assignment notes/activities.

I used three blind mice as mine.  Let me know your thoughts!

Photo Word Composition

For this assignment you needed to make up a word using alphabetical shapes.  Can you make out the word I spelled? Let me know.  I found this one hard to get the right pictures to help with the word I chose but gave it a shot!

Here's my second attempt to try and use more of a theme.... let me know if you can guess my word (it's pretty simple really).

Producing a Flyer

Here is the front and back images of my flyer for the cats home.... just very basic but not bad for my attempt using the map side of things through illustrator... I could improve images and the whole design layout (I just ran out of time!!).



Front Page




Back Page



Tas Map

This activity required me to use Illustrator.... not bad for my first attempt! I think if I changed some colours it would improve the look of the map.  I found that I had to move layers around depending on what I wanted to have up front and what I wanted in the background.  I found this task very challenging.

Let me know what you think.
