University projects

We started out by researching about the several London areas. Then, we were asked to produce several book covers for a "fake" travel guide. I've started out by picking a layout that would fit all the books with the series... I decided to use Gill Sans as it's such a major British institution, either you like it or not. Then I started out working on the different concepts for the several books. The image of the book related with the trip in the 12 bus is a reproduction of the original seats pattern in the bus. The one about the parlament tries to express the way time flies in the westminster area while showing Big Ben's sound by having the numbers "shaking". The background is blue because there was a lovely weather when we got there. The one about Trafalgar Square represent how social the place is, while using the British colours shows how important the place is for Londoners. The Piccadilly Circus image focus on the way the billboards have become such a trademark of the place. When I visited Seven Dials it was cold and I took some time to actually find the place... I decided to use more traditional colours to show how I felt about the place (I found it like a village within a big city). When it comes to Soho, I decided to trace the area's map since it's such a complicated area. I used yellow and red because I started my approach to Soho from Chinatown and that's such an intense and curious area. The white area in the back cover is for the bar code.

After visiting the Empire War Museum (as part of a uni project) I created a booklet to follow the Holocaust exhibition. I decided not to use images as the booklet is not intended to substitute a visit to the museum. I used Futura condesed in headlines and quotes, the text is set in Gill sans as that is the typeface used all around the museum.

Visual representation of the London SE5 post code// My first individual project in university. I'm studying graphic design (1st year) in Camberwell College of Arts. The briefing was to create a visual representation of the SE5 postal area. I created a map using circles, in which the cross represents Camberwell College of Arts, the green circle is Camberwell, the red one is Denmark Hill and the yellow circle is Brixton. I added some pratical information (restaurants, clubs...) at the bottom. I used only one typeface (Helvetica Neue Condensed Bold) in two sizes (40p and 20p). It's printed in an A0 format. I'll post a full poster picture as soon as I get a camera.
