Friday has come so quickly!

I was surprised to see my favourite logo that I designed for Pow Wow the other day being projected onto a big screen in the Pow Wow meeting! Last night was good fun and nice to chat to people after work hours. I also recieved some good feedback about my logo and my frame designs! Today I have made my final amendments to the Ambi Pur flyer, which will be given to the company in just a few hours! Here is my final design:


There is also a version with a background, as have been told that they may like to see this version:



Personally I much prefer the white one, but the again the final say is up to the client! I have also done a Power Point template for them to use, keeping it really simple so as to not take attention away from the actual presentation.




For now my work experience is over, but will definatly keep in touch, as have been told to contact them if I need help or advise with work. I have also been set a project, where I have to find something to represent of Geronimo, which can be absolutly anything. The brief has been left completly open so I can be as creative as I like! They have also said that I am welcome back when ever, as there is usually a free computer which I have beeen told I am welcome to! I will let Geronimo know when I am next free so that they can send me a project so that I can put some real work into my portfolio, work that will actually be used by a company, which will be really helpful in helping me bulk up my portfolio! Bye for nowww xxxx

Thursday-pow wow day

Well so far I have been to a few meetings about the Ambi Pur flyer, taking on everyones suggestions and making a few small changes. I have also found the fridge with an endless supply of juices! Which may have in fact made my day!!

After work there is an event called 'Pow Wow' being held, which is a monthly get together in which there are presenations, food and drink and everyone gets an insight into what the others are up to.

Wednesdayyyy

Today I have been busy creating another idea for the geronimo frames and have also been set a breif for Ambi Pur. Have been asked to make a flyer design for their campaign and to make a simple background for their Power Point presentation. Am really enjoying myself here and is so strange thinking that im already half way through my work experience!

Here is one of my favourite designs that I made for the Ambi Pur flyer:

Today, my second day!

Here here are some of the pictures that I took when out wandering around London...not quite sure where exactly they were taken as ended up getting a little bit lost!

I started to add to what the logos that the previous work experience studend did. I have taken a completly different view to the brief so my ideas will be completly different to his! These are my initial designs.

First day yesterday!

I came to Geronimo yesterday and am really enjoying myself so far. Everyone makes me lots of tea's and are happy to help. I have started work on the Geronimo frames in the reception, as currently it is filled with dull postcards, so I aim to liven this up by putting up new, vibrant pictures that will be put into frames.

I was told to make them link and stick with the theme 'focus', so started linking the photos by turning the main focal point blue- the company's colour.

Here is one of the contact sheets that i produced. However these looked too predictable and staged, so I will be going out into London this afternoon to take some myself :)

Some pages from my sketch book.

POW WOW Logo Ideas

My Last Day

It's my last day today which is a bit of a shame as I'm jut getting settled in and getting to know everyone better now. However I have been offered to come back next week so if I get my college stuff done ill be back!

I've been working on the Pow Wow logo again and the Kiwi banner. I've been quite tired so I've been a bit slow. 

It's been great coming here, I didn't really know what to expect when I first came because it's my first placement but it's been amazing! I've been treated like just one of them and not like a work placement dude. Everyone is great and chilled and just has fun while working (I can hear Magical Trevor in the background now!) It's good to know I can pretty much be a kid all my life in this industry :) So if your reading this I do recommend this place it's great!

Egg Animation Online

What's Superman getting up to eh?

Wednesday

Ive been working on the 'Pow Wow' logo today, found an interesting image of superman to put in possibly! Also went into a brief for KIWI. They want a banner based on some data they have provided. Unfortunately the data was a bit messy and makes them look terrible so it has to be phrased pretty well lol.

A few initial ideas have just been passed over so im going to progress them further on Indesign!

Today! Tuesday..

Just went into another brief, this one was a presentation of work that was sent yesterday to the free lancers. They have come up with loads man, there only sketches atm but still. They were quite neat and tidy sketches which is interesting to see how they present their ideas!

Day 5 Monday

Sat in on a few briefs today, was quite interesting to see how it all gets done. Was quite a laugh as well. Also had a chat with a few people to see how the process of work gets done.

I tried uploading the easter animation but it's taken about an hour and hasn't moved! I'll try again later.

Studio Photos

End of day 4

I've been working on the egg animation all day, its been pretty cool, I've had to brighten up the colours of the chicks and the lettering as it didn't show up too much. Had a good lunch, had a few pints again :) Jolly good show!

I've just got to make a border/ background for the animation so it can be sent out on monday.

Time to go home now!

End of day 3, beginning of day 4

Re started the easter animation yesterday and finished it this morning. It looks a lot better although I was ment to make one crack and hatch first which is very hard to see. The finishing one is very clear because there's a message coming out of it.

We had a meeting with Bex about the new Direct Line logos. It was interesting to listen to what she said because she's able to put visual into words and she makes a lot of sense our of it. My Ideas were pretty rubbish compared to everyone else's although appear to be on the right lines, so i've just got to improve today.

New stamps

These are some rough sketches I done on Illustrator for the new design. There quite basic and I tried to keep the stamp feel. I hate the bottom one but put it in anyway.

Original Direct Line stamp

This is the original stamp for advertising that Direct Line isn't on price comparison websites. The problem with it is that it's not clear to read as there's a break in between the sentence and it curves round too much.

Day 3

It's day 3 and we've just talked about the Direct Line stamp. There was some cool stuff from Adrian and Tasha, a lot different than the original and a lot more than what I produced lol. Now that we've decided on a few we're applying them to existing adverts to see how they fit on as a whole.

I'm going to redo the easter egg animation as it's not great in my opinion and I'm going to draw all the cracks with a brown pen instead of a black. It should flow a lot better this time! :)

Near the end of day 2. I've been working on Direct Line's Stamp mostly but not much to show for it. The computer crashed and I lost my work, SAVE REGULARLY is what i have learnt today. Luckily I didn't loose all of it and can catch up in the morning tomorrow.

I've also been working on how I'm going to finish this easter egg animation. It has to have a happy easter message coming out of it so I've been looking up paper origami. I haven't found much yet but i'll keep looking. Hopefully I will be able to make something that folds out into a message.

Tea count: 0

Day 2

I was absolutely dreading getting up at 8 today, but it actually wasn't too bad. It feels like 3 in the afternoon and it's only 11:30!

I've been plying around with the Direct line stamp this morning. I haven't done much work like this in the past but it's fairly fun and quite exiting knowing I'm actually doing some real work, not that I'm expecting any of my stuff to get used but it's still cool.

End of day 1

Tea count: Just 4 :)

New stuff to do

I joined Tasha in a meeting with Geronimos Creative Director Becky and went through a new job for Direct line. They want the badge that says that they are not on price comparison websites to be redone as it's apparently slightly hard to read. They want about 3 ideas by Monday. 

Box of eggs..

Day 1

First day in Geronimo and the place is wicked. It's a much more relaxed environment than I expected. Everyone is welcoming and fun and there's free cokes in the fridge! Yeah thats right free cokes! And booze and a biscuit tin! Result!

Anyway...

I have been making an one stop animation on eggs hatching as it's easter. It's going to be used on the website apparently.
