There have been other iterationsContinue reading “Why Channel 4”

Having met with the clients for a catch-up and demonstration of initial ideas as well as talks with tutors, I thought it would be better if I created a design for words associated with the courses available in the Digital Art Centre as the name could change over time. In addition to that, I alsoContinue reading “Aftermath”

Purely to try and get the idea of what I wanted to do across to the client, I began to try and create a series of Photoshop images of what the main perspective and an offset perspective would look like. Please note that the text, font, sizing and colour is not finalised as I wasContinue reading “Experimentation”
