Jonathan Barnbrook Placement 2

More work from my Barnbrook placement, this time for MyFonts. I was tasked with coming up with new logos for the foundry's presence, which were unified and showed off the fonts at the same time. Banners for the gallery submenu are to come.

A Total Disaster (Fundraiser Party)

Now this really was contentious! Owen Thackeray and I were asked to design a poster for our first year show's fundraiser.

Brief: Disaster!

Timeframe: ASAP (2-3 days or thereabouts)

Result:

Fallout: Well our head of first year, Cathy Gale HATED it. She found it personally offensive and when I showed her Mk.I she simply said "for fuck's sake boris, will you and owen stop going on my facebook?"

Rebecca Wright tactfully explained that to be successful we had to push the terrible design -ness of it much further. I considered doing the whole thing in Crayola but it never got to that stage.

Then there was the rest of the course. Some flat out hated it (luckily people I don't respect) and some wanted an A1 print of it (people I have since worked with and realised are brilliant).

So all in all a great learning tool. Oh and it got voted done in my absence by this:

This was the poster for the actual event at Juno, Shoreditch:

All in all a very interesting project!

However you found me...

Well I hope he enjoyed my work nonetheless :-D

That just made my (very ill) morning.
