Aidizzle Posters

Here are my posters for Luke. The first one I did, I had in mind a giant rap concert, like one of those ones to raise money or something. But I couldn't make it turn out the way I wanted it to, and so worked closer in design to my album, like a promotional poster for the album's tour. Here they are:

CD Case

Here are a few snapshots of my first album as Aidizzle, beginning his Get the Motor Running tour in October.

Different Logos

Here we have the ten different logos we had to do for Luke's class. In order they are a:

-Freight Company

-Piano Manufacturer

-Music School

-Body Piercing Studio

-Tattooist

-Architect

-Florist

-Adult Entertainment Store

-Skate Shop

-Surf Shop

I relied a lot on different fonts and colours to give my logos the right feel. I don't know how correct that is, but it involved a lot of tweaking before I was at least 75% happy with them.

My Composites for Luke

Composite 1- Land of the Giants

For this composite my vectors are the Platypus, the Meerkat and the Crane. For this image I wanted something slightly sinister, but in a docile or calm representation. To me, the unintentional damage that massive animals could create would be disasterous, but people would still flock to the see them. The fact they appear to be in a theme park could be like a Jurassic Park-esque response.

Composite 2- Treat Your Mind Like a Bad Neighbourhood, Never go There Alone

This composite I wanted to be threatening. My vector is the large open fire and loungeroom that the girls see before them. People that viewed this one did not understand it straight away, so hopefully I explain it enough here. I made the room very hazy and warm, but also slightly intangible, due to it only being an illusion, sort of acting as a metaphor to the warmth the lost little girls feel being with each other in this bad street.

Composite 3- The Grass is Greener on the Other Side

This one was extremely simple, however, I couldn't really think of anything more in-depth without carrying across the same sort of message. To me, this saying accompanies many people who are on the greener side, but do not know that they are, so in this I wanted to make sure that the view was defiantly showing the greener side, but a barred greener side. I intended for the a solid contrast between the dark and twisted wire fence, compared to the nice, lush and sunny side of the hills and the sign. The only vector in this image is my large sign behind the wire.

Composite 4- LOVE/HATE

To me, love and hate is all about contrast. Two opposites at the end of the spectrum, and for some bizarre reason I got the idea of doing this whole contrasting image with the sun and the moon. This involved placing the sun in a cloudy night sky against the moon in a sunny bright sky. The sun and the moon are the vectors in this image, and I decided to keep making it as opposing as possible by placing the two words on each star, but then gave them the opposite reflection, just to continue on with that reoccurring them as much as possible.

Composite 5- How the West was Won

Cowboys! That's exactly what I thought of when that sentence was said. I wanted a big epic cowboy gun fight, but I didn't exactly know how I could do it to pull off an effective image that also involved vectors. Then when Luke told us about taking our own photos for these composites, it just flashed to me that our class would be my cowboys, and I could vector their bodies! Weird, I know, but I'll take the epic design ideas where I can get them. So, long-story short, I got certain classmates permission (thank you very much!) and stuck their heads and poses onto vectored cowboy bodies. To finish off the photoshop effects I placed shadows, gunshots and a cepia-tone over the whole thing, just to finish off that ol' western feel. Yeehah!

Indian Pattern

Not the half-naked kind, the kind from India. I think I'll have to explain this one, because right now, looking at it, it doesn't exactly give off an indian vibe to me.

Vermillion is like one of their most treasured colours. Not only does it symbolise enlightment, wisdom and beauty, but it also used for those little dots on their foreheads (I guess that's the whole enlightment , wisdom thing).

Orange is also a favoured colour, with a majority of male turbons and women's clothing featuring the colour. The more orange someone has on their body, the more higher up they are supposed to be in the world. That's why it is honourable for a man to have bigger turbon, because if it is orange it is very respective of their position.

Cobalt blue is also an important colour, featured as the second colour found on turbons. Cobalt blue also means wisdom and guidance, which is why the men wrap it around their head. But, originally having the smaller circles cobalt blue didn't look right to me, so I changed it to Persian Pink, which is a very feminine and woman's colour, much like how it is stereotyped in our culture. Persian Pink is said to be very attractive and it is not uncommon for Indian ladies to wear it on their wedding day.

Bit of a long explaination, but I got there. I'm betting though that no-one even bothers to read this...so...here's my pattern...

Ferrari

I have no idea what kind of Ferrari this is, I'm not the best with types of cars and the site wouldn't tell me. Meh...life continues...

Monochromatic Pattern (mouthful)

Here is my mono-pattern. It looks very bubbly.

Um...dunno what else to say really. Nice weather we're having...
