Year Book Images

Here are my 5 images, well 6.

Other Collage Idea

Set of Viynls, with the idea so far in mind being a idea of a collage,

I came across some other designs based on musicians, whilst browsing the internet, OBEY.

They are not collage as such, but the design is really neat and tidy, and could be something I could possibly think about working with.

Taking music icons, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Biggie Smalls, Bob Marley.

Scans of items to fill in the back ground and keeping the colour pallet through them all,

and adding detailed silhouettes of the icon over the top.

This could be something I need to look into.

Collage Idea

For a brief I am designing a set of 9 vinyl's, each being a collection of songs from a number of selected bands.

The idea I have came up with so far is a collage design, cause it has been something I have wanted to look into trying, so this could be my possible chance of giving it a shot.

I have came across some existing collage designs for album covers;

The Cribs, looks as if they have scanned a image for a back ground, an added scanned cuts out over the top and made some sort of collage, can't fully make out the story behind the idea.

Most recently released is the Beady Eyes single The Roller,

The design is like a old school newspaper, combined with a collage of images.

Using a limited colour pallet of black, red and a news paper stock colour.

The Beatles Anthology have numerous collage designs,

Starting here, with the collage filling up of scanned photographs of the band.

Either posing photographs or live on stage images.

Also they have a album, where the album cover is made up of a collage of their existing album covers. Combing them all in to a neat and simple collage.

Ones again a set of photographs combined with magazine cut outs.

And it does stop at the album covers, it can also be used for sleeves in the vinyls, or on the vinyl its self, expanding the collage design across more courts than just the cover.

One of my favourite bands Death Cab For Cutie, released this album,

and the cover was just a pattern collage of different patterns and colours, but it makes a very appealing design,

Maybe I could do something like this, defeating the obvious.

I am not to sure who released this album, but I like how it was a number of images used to make one large image, and a good mix of colour.

With the combined image being bright it makes the design stand out.

When I came across this I really like it,

the use of photography, really sharp photography, then editing of the images.

I will have a post based on these designs soon.

Wine Designs

For another brief I will be focusing on Wine bottles,

this is a competition brief for Rose, titles Super Market Sweep,

Its asks for you to select a item in a shop that you would like to redesign for, and my selection is wine bottles.

I have been looking through alot of designs for wine bottles.

Not knowing there was as many possible designs, giving me the influence to try some more creative than a normal bottle label.

First example being a simple, slim label.

Nice piece of design, no flavour, you just simply assume by the colour pallet chosen.

Possibility of having a set of different flavours, each type of wine having its own style label, but works along side others, to work as a set.

More often than not wine bottles have a front label and a back label, this is showing a example of how you can still have both but produce them in totally different ways.

Different bottle shapes could be a factor of the design, working with the shape of the bottles,

using different techniques of design with different shaped bottles.

Designs different graphics to represent each bottle, maybe different flavours,

different graphics, colours, layout, but still being able to make out they are a set.

Existing wine bottles of the same company, layout and design completely different, but all still strong designs.

Once again a set, but a larger proportion.

Wide range of colours, each representing a difference in the wine.

Could be a good idea, making a much larger range of the wine and labels.

Simple and plain designs work really well and strong.

Nothing to much, so the viewers attention doesn't wonder.

Also a limited colour pallet of Black, White and a impact colour.

Designs running around the whole bottle as one large image.

Example below is a neat and simple design, combining images and typography,

and using a limited colour pallet.

A set of wine bottle focusing on images, 80's style designs.

Really like them as a set, none have the same image, typeface, or colours, but a viewer knows they are a set.

Unlike the design above these are a set of wine bottles, where the designer has kept the same label through out the range, with just minor differences, colour and wine flavour.

Wine bottle label size, could have it shorter than average and using the blank space and bottle to a designers advantage.

With ideas I have came along with so far, I have been thinking of designing a label of asitate stickers, with a viewers being about to see the liquid through the designed label.

Different way a approaching the label, this design having the designs rapping around the bottle with a night simple silhouette design.

When I cam across this design I like how they had used different comic strips.

Also sticking to a colour combination of white and black.

This was the first time I came across a idea like this,

using photographs, a fault is people wouldn't know what they where buying,

only if they had a supporting label at the back of the bottle telling the buy what it was.
