20th November, 3D prep and more screen printing, Typography

During our morning lesson, we learnt about how to create an illustrator graphic and apply it to Cinema 4D. This involves saving the illustrator document under Illustrator 8. This allows it to be applied to Cinema 4D. The design created on illustrator needs to be just the outline with no gaps. Pathfinder can be used to make sure the design is correct.

When this is opened in Cinema 4D the object will need to be extruded in order to become 3D. To do this you need to drop the file onto the extrude action in the right column This will instantly transform the design into 3D.  Colour materials can then be added along with changing the caps to give nice rounded edges.

During the lesson, I came up with a number of different designs that could be possible for me to create for the Pop-Up Shop assignment. The design was really attractive and could simulate an object that could feature within the store.




During this lesson period, I also had the chance to expose my new t shirt design onto print screens. Next week I will now be able to print my design onto t-shirts. It will be interesting to see how it comes out. This exposure was much more successful than my previous. This is because the quality of screen was much better and also the design is a lot more effective. 


Afternoon Lesson

Looking at natural forms of typography, and how different signs can be created through unorthodox ways. This gives another interpretation to what typography can display. Designers can be unique by creating their own typographic.



Above I have shown my attempts and changing current typefaces. In these design pieces I used Photoshop, Illustrator, and cutting knives. This gave a wide range of effects both digital and physical.

Contrast Poster

Image
Shown above is the original arrangement of the contrast poster. In this poster, I am showing the contrast between a bird covered in oil and a bird untouched. This is representing oil spills that cause massive harm to ecosystems in the ocean and on coastlines. I am happy with the use of two birds that create contrasts between colour. I was not completely happy with the layout as it is not as effective as my other productions. The background of the poster is also too dark and doesn’t bring out the colours in the white bird. By brightening the background, it will make the white of the bird become more prominent.   Shown above is my final design of the contrast poster. I changed the layout to help make the white bird show freedom and health compared to the bird covered in oil. This layout fills the page and makes it more interesting to look at. The white bird also signifies hope in keeping wildlife safe from negative human effect...

Illustrations logo idea

Image
Above and below I have show another concept I have created. Below I have shown an illustration drawn in one of my classes. The sun in the illustration is something I want to use in the design of my label, it creates an eye catching aspect. Colours is also something I need to concentrate on as the green and orange, red and beige, don't connect with the Peroni colours.

Final Designs

Image
Shown above are my final designs for the project. I have used a range of colours to indicate flavourings. After testing colours I finally used a two tone effect, giving the design some further depth. You can also see how I have altered the design in order to fit in the name of the flavour. This creation of space doesn't interfere with the layout of the final illustrations.  Show below is a one colour concept featuring a bottle neck strap. This colour choice was effective but I think the design lacked depth. The bottle neck idea also had good potential but I thought the design was effective enough and the design on the bottle neck would ruin the effect. I also thought the bottle neck design wasn't as well refined and didn't look as appealing on the eye.
