Finally finished my own font bot for a placement brief Im doing for Future dc. From the tagline you know its all futura fitting in with the whole brief idea. Im quite pleased with it to be honest and its going to the printers tomorrow to be done on A3.
A really zoomed in shot of something Im working on for the Future dc Brief. “The Futura is Now.”
So today I finished my first freelance job designing a stand alone business card for FM Laptop Repairs down the road from my uni accommodation and it was received well all around, so certainly a good start to what hopefully becomes a busy summer for me… However be aware the example I am photographing here is the prototype from a students budget.
My final logo after some good hours of experimenting and getting feedback!
UPDATE: So ive tweaked my logo slightly because I was feeling it was too top heavy (which it was) and Ive also made the white space the same size and the width of the P the same as the N.
Another logo idea. The letter P is quite hard to work with on its own but its not stopping the flow of ideas..
The first of many logo ideas to come. tried to make it as simplistic as possible, although if you cant read it, its pretty much not communicating well enough… the blue is more me.

A video example of me using my final website design. The 4 links that work are the Homepage (index.html) ,News page (news.html) , Events and Shows page (events.html) and finally the Media page (Media.html) which contains a small photo gallery and the latest live/music videos. Overall im actually pleased with how the design came out. The whole design was based on the one drawing phil collins did of himself, which was used as the homepage button and on the calenders.
Homepage is finally finished! i now have my template for the other pages! the only last thing that needs to be added is a facebook and twitter logo/link just above the copyright which will move the copyright down a bit! pleased with it!
website update:
my first column is basically complete with a bit of text missing from the bottom. Ive added links to all of the necessary pages as well as the navigation bar at the top. Ive pretty much got 2 columns of text left to fill and ive also then got my template for the rest of my 3 pages that need designing (the brief requires 4 working pages).
Got my columns in! finally! now to add the content and navigation buttons above the header… I hate maths… just need to move the column titles in the proper positions aswel
Experimenting with more logo’s. This time a big more image based to get the message across. I quite like the first one, however what food is black/grey? hmm.. still playing around.
Im 99% sure this will change. But a logo is in development. Its a take on the current M&S logo, but I dont know if this is creative enough… does it have to be really “out there” when designing for marks and spencers? hmmm… the colours of the O and FIT change with the colour of the sandwich chosen. For example the blue logo will go with the blue ring sandwich, which is fish. ill keep playing around…
So I actually enjoyed learning basic coding the other day. Does that make me an uber nerd? or an uber idiot for using the word uber? Coding example below:
To add a layer
<div id=”wrap1”> wrap1 = layers name
example of a coloured square coded on layer 1 (if the first layer was called wrap1)
#wrap1{
width:100px;
height:100px;
background:#3399ff
}
This was such a pain in the bum. But it was certainly worth it! To advertise a new show on my channel. Talking about anything gaming really…. so heres a little animation to make people do that all mighty click onto my channel.
