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.

Cheque and Jaapokki Research

Cheque Input Text and Research The Cheque typeface is made by designer Mirela Belova, this font was developed as part of a student project but has then grown to its full potential. The font is based on geometric shapes and has a vintage look. Her creations were made in tandem with Fontfabric. The images in which the font is being used is very modern. It could work in advertising coffee shops and café’s. This font gives me a chance to analyse and develop my own understanding about it. I may need to search up alternative fonts as the history behind this font is very limited.

Label Bottle Testing

Image
Shown above is an example of the Peroni concept label on a bottle. I think the general concept and design works well but I am not happy with the border around the design. To move forward I will need to test the design without the beige border in order to get an understanding as to whether this would be an improvement.   Below I have shown a strap that would be placed on the neck of the bottle. The design concept is at its early stages and I will need to see if it looks effective on the bottle. I am also not 100% happy with the look of the design so this will need to be altered further. The sun is meant to be represented within the circle and I don't think this comes across easily to viewers.

Further label development

Image
Moving on from my previous design I have started to look at holding the text within the centre of the diamond. This gives a more compact and tidy look, making it more appealing. I am still struggling with a colour scheme that works with the composition and layout. My goal is to develop the layout further and find a colour scheme that will suit the Peroni brand. I may have to revert back to Peroni's traditional colours.
