tweaked mailer from developmental documentation

Look book development

Mailer

Design directions and experiments for a look book & a promotional mailer

A change to my position statement

my position statement was:

Designer/ Illustrator for commercial & creative industries, driven by print &publication


I want to adapt that to:

Designer/ Illustrator for commercial & creative industries driven by print, mixed media &publication.


The rationale behind this is that after completing the mural I realised I am good at executing my visual approach well across a range of different media, for example I have now put illustration across book design, posters, business cards, a range of materials and also the painting I was doing last week. I can see myself being prepared to do a project like that again in the future so it seems only right to add this to my position statement.

Front cover ideas for a look book for rebel pin up.


Ive come to the realisation that the covers with photography on them arent neccessarily working as well as the vector works. Perspective shots specifically dont work just because of the visual distortion it creates, which isnt appropriate for the target audience and could be seen as too "creative". At the moment, I am most happy with the vector artwork cover with the black bars across minus the PSS hands logos.
