A History Of The Future...

In case you did not know, I am currently a Graphic Design student at the University of Bedfordshire. I am about 1/3 of my way through my first year, and really enjoying it! I feel myself growing creatively with each week, and I am constantly pushing myself to do more and more. I thought now with my new blog, I would share with you some work that I have done up until now, while being at the University. I would have liked to show you my work pre-university, but I dont have it scanned onto the computer, yet... but maybe in a couple of months time, I will have got round to doing that.

Anyway... The First project we were set was to create an album cover for an 80's synth pop band. We were not allowed to use a computer, but technology that would have been around at the time (photocopiers, polaroids) were allowed. We had to try and convey our understanding of the time, and make it looking fitting for a real 80's LP. I took inspiration from El Lissitzky, Kraftwerk, and Letterostett.

 I then used the materials I collected for this project and used them to create a magazine cover mock up, for a magazine I was thinking of making to co-inside with my radio show at the university. In the end I decided not to make the magazine (too much money!), but I did like the outcome of the magazine cover.
