Brief 8 - Design Board Submission

Here is my design board that I am submitting for Brief 8 - Geek Table Collective.

Geek Table - Brief 4 - Guilty Pleasure Brief Update

I made a couple of minor adjustments to the final Guilty Pleasure brief ready for the submission.

Brief 8 - Final Crit Design Boards

Although I haven't had the chance to do anymore of the prints for the geek table briefs yet except the alter ego one, I have decided to put together the design boards for them anyway ready to take along to the final crit. In the brief the requirement for them is to have a design board each, so that is what I did. I used the mocked up artwork for the print on one side and then put a box where the print will go on the other side, explaining inside it what will be there. I'm gutted that I haven't had the chance to actually have them printed for the crit, but at least I have one to take along.

Brief 8 - Materials/Equipment

I had a good search online looking for the materials and equipment that I need in order to actually do the lino printing for my geek table briefs. The prices are pretty varied, but I have an aim of spending as little as possible on things  like this for now as it would be a lot of money to get wasted if I don't decide to do anything with them beyond these briefs. I found that Ebay was my best bet.

Here's all of the stuff that I ordered... although I did order a bigger sized larger lino than what they have actually send so I need to message them to see what they will do about it.

Geek Table - Brief 4 - Guilty Pleasure Idea/Mock Up

I have left doing this one of the briefs a little late and am having to rush it a bit to get it done in time for the Geek Table crit. Trying to think of what my guilty pleasures are, as explained in the brief post, all I can really think of is music that I listen to that I wouldn't want people to know I secretly listened to. Hmm.

Was about to give up doing this brief for the time being until I remembered that it can be design related. Obviously as it's been explained numerous times, I am the Type Geek, but I do like a bit of hand drawn type too - could do this? Then I started thinking about colour, and again, people who know me know my favourite colour is blue (along with black and white), but no one really knows that I also really like purple. I like this idea better.

Taking into consideration also the restrictions of this brief, which is to design within a 210 x 210mm square, I have set myself also the target of producing A2 sized work. In the end I have decided to be 'clever' about it and have a 210 x 210mm square block of the colour purple within A2 - that way it is win win. I'll double check this though to make sure I am alright to do it.

Mocked this up really quick to take with me - obviously it will be lino printed.

Geek Table - Brief 4 - Guilty Pleasure

The other of the two briefs that have been set for to be done for the same time is one based on our guilty pleasures. This can either be or not be design related, and must be kept personal. This is going to be a tricky one I reckon as the guilty pleasures that I can think of at the minute that I have are music related. Hmm, will have to see.

The title of this brief will be Guilty Pleasures, and using the same briefs as before I modified them to suit this one.

Labelling of blog posts will also follow the same as previous.
