This is my interpretation of an NHS logo for the medical photography department of Newcastle. I have kept it as simplistic as possible so that it is sophisticated and legible. I have used colours which i feel relate with medical communications such as blue's and green's. I have added a small piece of imagery which runs through the typography creating a cross design, i think this works well.

'Together' logo & Flyer design

These two designs are my logo designs for my the 'together' charity i created. I created the imagery first hand by using photography, i painted my hands blue and red (primary colours) to show a fun, creative approach. Then took pictures and manipulated then using Adobe Photoshop. I then found a complementary type face and experimented with the layout as shown above. As my overall final design i decided to go with the second one as i feel it looks more compact and professional. The approach i was looking for was very simplistic but creatively effective and eye catching. I am quite happy with my overall logo design as i feel it works well for its purpose.



This is one of the flyers i created to support my new found charity 'together'. It displays a simple typeface showing the venue of where the event is going to take place. The supporting typography shows a curly, fun approach but is still very legible. I have used imagery to show a better understanding of the activities available. I have used pastel colours to add a creative fun effect to this flyer design. I have also displayed my logo design in the top left hand corner to show the charity company, and it make a recognisable to the company.

Graphic Designer moodboards

                                                                    David Carson

David Carson is a very inspirational Graphic Deisgner, i have used examples of his work in many of my projects as i feel he is very influential. His work is very interesting and i love his use of experimentaion. Not all of his type designs are legible, however this is his style of working and it always proves to be effective.

I love how David Carson also uses alot of mixed media within his designs, it creates depth and interest which helps to draw you in. He also sometimes incorporates imagery into his type designs which is very creative and extremally effective.

                                                                    Stefan Sagmeister

Stefan Sagmeister is another designer that uses type faces to express ideas within his work. He uses objects to create typography which is very interesting. He has a simular way of working to David Carson, however their designs are some what different.

These design pieces have been built up in adobe photoshop. Each one displays work from a specific Graphic Designer. I created these moodboards to help give me inspiration when producing my own work. These two artists in particular specialise in experimenting with typography. Each of these designers are very influential as they use different styles and processes showing individuality and uniquness.
