Geometric/Retro goodness.

My lovely mother gave this book to me as a early Christmas present, Flashback: A Tribute to Classic Art in Contemporary Graphics. This book is full of inspiration and design that I love. Here are a few samples:

Not only is this book full of beautiful retro inspired contemporary design but the packaging of the book and the print is just gorgeous.

Clever advertisements

My boyfriend who is an avid redditor showed me these very clever advertisements. I think they look brilliant and are very clever:

My favorite is the Koleston Naturals, how about you?

Redesign

I am currently working on my website jenniferscott.co.uk and I've been designing myself a logo that I feel reflects my design interests quite well. I've always had a passion for pattern (geometric in particular), purples/reds/yellows are my favorite colour combinations and I like working with clean and simple design. My website will be coming soon, look out for it!

The lecture theater was amazing. It was about 3 times the size of ours!

Long time no post!

So many things have been going on in my life I've neglected my blog. In fact I've been away from University for a little while now (due to reasons I'd not like to get into). This will be changing however and I will be posting again/back at University.

The past two weeks we have been given a brief on corporate identity. We were asked to design a logo for various made up companies. I decided to choose the company "Minders Keepers" a house/pet sitting service. When designing the logo I decided to go with these core values.

• Safe
• Trustworthy
• Approachable
• Friendly

This is my final product:

For the last part of the brief we were asked to create a set of corporate guidelines which explained how to use the logo and it's various applications:
