The Cakehole Shop Mock Up

After a few failed attempts to make a shop mock up on top of an existing photograph, which I'm not even going to show because they are...a disgrace to my being a third year. Instead I decided that I was just going to make a vector image of a shop front and work on top of that, using the brand colours, logo etc.

Here is the basic outline that I created. I'm quite pleased with it.


A grey version testing out shading and shadows, etc.


And finally, wearing the shop colours and logo with price. I'm actually really pleased with how this one came out, in truth. It works far better than any shop mock up I've made in the past and this can actually be resized to whatever I want, which is handy to put it on my boards. I have a bad habit of finding images that are teeny tiny when I go to put them on the boards. Nobody likes pixellation.

GM Shop Mock Up

I've done this backwards, here, somehow. Like the post above this, I've done another vector shop mock up instead of trying to make a mock up on top of an existing photo. This works so much better than what I was trying to do before, so I'm pleased with this.

Outline.
Greys
And colour! I added the advertisement images to the shop windows to mock up window displays.

Advertisements

Playing with layours for window advertisements for the window display. These would be printed large scale so I wanted them to be high impact and draw the customer in using the photograph.






The two layouts below are my favourites. I feel that the composition works nicely with the logo tucked down in the bottom corner.









All of the photographs came from here on Deviantart so credit to the photographer. 
  
These are the three chosen images using the layout I picked from my development work. I prefer the two porttrait ones to the landscape one so those are the two that I will be using.

Name Badges

Not much to say other than this is development and layours for possible name badges as part of the staff uniform to go with the printed apron.


Final name badge layours complete with rankings within the company.

End of Year Show: Web Presence

I took screen shots of the college website in order to put my End of Year Show branding onto it to represent the webpresence of the design. The site is a bit of an odd layout so I did two options, one with the header of the webite and another scrolled down a bit more.





And I mocked them up on macbooks to show how they would appear.

The Creative Milk Round: Expanded Range

Expanding the brief that I did way back at the beginning of the module, I decided to add name badges, t-shirts and tie sheets.

These are the name badges, testing out layout and sizes etc.


The chosen layouts using some random names, old movies stars to illustrate the name cards.


T-shirt mocks up to be worn by the staff and students involved in the event. The top most image is the chosen placement of the logo on the t-shirt.






A couple of layout options for the time sheets given out to people taking part in the event and wanting to write down what time they have appointments to speak to different people and companies. The right hand side image is the chosen layout. I find that it's far more aesthetically pleasing and the layout works much better.

End of Year Show: Expanded Range

Going back to another brief I did what feels like forever ago (on my birthday I remember), I decided to expand the brief a little more for submission. Through expanding I wanted to add things to the range such as cotton bags, t-shirts to be worn by members of staff and students involved in the show as well as adverts to appear in magazines such as Grafik and Creative Review.








I much prefer the images that I made using the photograph below to the ones above this text because the below ones feel much more personal and it looks more like a context shot than just a bag sitting on a white background and looking really boring.



I really like the below layout because it sits nicely in the corner of the bag and it's more aesthetically pleasing than the rest I have produced so far.



Some layout options for adverts to appear in magazines such as Grafik and Creative review. I did both landscape and portrait options depending on the space in the magazine. Layout is not my strong point so they aren't the best things in the world but they are only mock ups and I believe that they represent what I wanted them to. I couldn't find a stock image of a magazine ad page to mock them up onto and I have mor eimportant things to be getting on with so they are simply going to have to stay not in context.

This top image is my favourite of the landscape images. I really like the staggered paragraphs of the type as they go across the page.








This is the best of the portrait options in my opinion, out of the few options that I made. The layout sits the best with me out of all of them.


T-shirt mock ups testing out layout sizes and placement.


I think that this one works the best out of all three options that I've shown here. I like the one with the smaller type but it's not consistent with the posters and the sizing of the logo on there so I have gone with the larger type that tretches all the way across the t-shirt.
