Experimental Works

#productivity #whenboredomstrikes #art 

...Newbie in using Adobe software's- don't get me wrong okay, it's sooo confusing and complicated at first. It was frustrating for me but with a little patience and well.. if you are really keen in learning more about it, everything will eventually work out. Here's what I got to do by just experimenting alone and basically fiddling with it. 

I used Adobe Illustrator for all of this. 

 My favourite !!! :) Loved the colours I used. 

Swirrryyly, swirlyyyy =))

This is actually my Aunts/cousins company in Bacolod. They just started business a couple of months ago and, since I'm very fond of cupcakes and lollies and anything sweet! One day during my bummer summer mode, I decided to be productive and created a logo for their company. They didn't really ask me to, I did it for practice and for fun!  :) 

( I've dreamed of putting up my own too actually, when I was young. ) 

I sent it to my auntie afterwards and I'm just glad they liked it. hehe. =))) 

Annual Report Magazine

                                   My finals for DESNCON Class.

Our task was to create our own annual report magazine based on our company. Check out my previous post:  CNC Tribal Wear Logo :) It's the company I made up in class. 

Now, most annual reports's designs are plain, heavy on the text and mmm, boring. ( atleast for me. ) So what I wanted to do is to change all that lay-out and make it interesting and easy read for the reader so they won't feel bored and feel light instead yet informed. 

I remained the aztec kind of feel for my lay-out because I think that it was appropriate for my company hence, I decided to use it again for this one.  (It might be a little girly for some, but I loved the way it turned out. )

I had this one printed out too ! I'm actually quite proud of this ! :) hehe.   

12 pages- 3 full page spread out.

Hope you guys like it !! :)

Jellybelly

Brand Reconstruction for DESNCON Class.

For this task, we were asked to change the look of our chosen product but not completely, just reconstruct it a bit and somewhat retain it so that the buyers will still recognize the same product. 

Product: Jellybelly

SPYDER Sunglasses Poster

Midterm plate for Design Concepts Class (DESNCON)

 4 SPYDER Ads

Before I started, I browsed through a couple of Sypder ads in the internet, turns out that they don't have many. To be honest, I didn't find it captivating nor catchy enough for my eyes to notice. (But hey! maybe it's just me. ) You guys can check it out for yourself if you wanna. 

Here's one sample that I found 

I wanted my designs to be eye catchy and colorful so that once they type in SPYDER they will definitely not miss this ad. So I made one that's bright and colourful. As you can see it in the photo below. ;)

Here's another one that I guess would have the relaxing or adventurous kind of feeling? :))

 This one is sactually my personal favourite. It's simple but very striking in a way and it give's you this mysterious kind of picture. :P (Just my opinion. ) I loved how the way it turned out even though it's black and white.

 Last but not the least, I figured not to use a model and create my own character. :) 

Model: My very good friend Michael Hamman. 

Photographer&everything else: Yours truly.

Toy Packaging

This was again done during my Design Concepts Class. The task was to create our own toy packaging. With this, I decided to use our old stuffed toy Ernie. I was thinking of using one of my Barbie dolls but I figured it would be too common so I came up with this. First thing I did was to assemble the packaging first before I started designing the lay-out and had it printed.

My Work ! :) 

Back

Too lazy to take another good shot of my work. :)) But it looks so much better than this. HAHA. So happy to get 99% I guess cause it looked different from the others? ..maybe? Good thing I didn't settle for the barbie doll packaging. :)))) 

Design Concept Class : CD'S

Smooth

Rock

Digital

For this one, the challenge was to create our own FONT based on the three given and make CD covers out of it. I'm not too sure about the Font I made but I just chose the ones that would fit the theme. (to be honest I really have no idea how to make fonts. ) Since I wasn't completely satisfied with the fonts, i worked a little extra on the design. :)

CNC TRIBAL WEAR'S ADVERTISEMENTS. 

This post is just a continuation of  my previous post. :) Every week, for Design Concept Class we asked to create these advertisements for our product label. ( CNC Tribal Wear )

My Logo Study

 This was from my Design Concepts Class. We were asked to create 3 logo's using our Initials and our professor would pick one out of the three. This will serve as our product label. Here's what I came up with. 

CNC- Stands for my initials. 

For a Tribal Wear Company

This was the one that my professor approved

 For a Confectionery Business

...maybe a business that has something to do with the environment? ;)

Final Plate & Project

I think that this may be the most challenging subject for me last term because I'm really not good with perspectives. :| :)

I'm just so glad that I've managed. This gave me about a week of sleepless nights and stayed a couple of extra hours in school but yaay, proud ! :))
