Extra images.

Having started this brief in second year but not being completely happy with the concept of execution of the brief i would like to re visit it and do a better job, due to blogging i still have all of my research from the previous year but feel i need to extend this, i have been looking through blogs and websites to find interesting pictures of the three sections within this project, Planets, Galaxies and Nebula, these images will be used for inserts, posters, flyers etc.

Record Labels.

Begining to research logo's for records labels, our client Ross has asked us to create a logo for the night he is setting up in order to apply it over our product range, such as; Posters, Flyers, t shirts, artwork, album artwork, website etc, record label logo's are usually sleek and simple and i would like to apply this aesthetic to our logo.

It seems the majority of record labels focus mainly on typography for their logo's i will experiment with visuals as well as type but i feel communicating the brand name across is more important than a few extra visuals, i will explore creating my own typeface as part of this project.

Here is an example of a logo i feel doesn't work at all.

Loco Flyers.

Having had two meetings with our client, Ross Muir, we have an idea of what direction we will be taking this brief, Ross is really enthusiastic and gives a good positive vibe for this project letting us know specifically what he wants and at the same time allowing us to develop our own ideas to coincide with his thoughts.

We began by going out and collecting as many flyers as possible as this will be one of the main deliverables and where we start the platform for building artwork, the majority of flyers we found (around 90%) were terrible but 10% began to give us some good ideas and got the creativity flowing.

Photography.

Whilst thinking about our deliverables and product range we decided a good aspect for a poster would be photography and taking into consideration the abstract characteristic of this project it's only fitting that we keep with this trend throughout, i have found a series of different photographers that all create dynamic creative images from the simplest of things, this is also linked with the music that will be at the night. House music is a very simple form of music, it uses basic repeated beats throughout and has a patterned structure.

Patterns will be another main area of focus whilst creating visuals as it is a key component in the genre.

Abstract imagery formed through experimentation with light.

Davy Evans.

After continuing my research on abstract artwork and forms, my collaborative partner Yafet came across this photographer and his beautiful work, he uses various techniques with deep constructed concepts to create fascinating natural structures and forms this first video is a piece inspired by the oil spill whereby Davy used typical house hold chemicals to see how they reacted with one and other, here is the out come.

Colour and Texture.

Again looking through abstract art images, texture is something we need to consider this could give the artwork a much more abstract/experimental feel, we aim to produce the artwork we'd like to over various medias any way such as wood, metal, fabrics, concrete, plastics etc.

Glitch art.

Looking for more inspiration on our abstract approach for artwork, due to the night being based around both vinyl and digital music we want to combine mixed media art and digital processes such as scanning and vector based imagery to create an effective deliverable.

This piece of design is a perfect example of the kind of art work we would like to create it looks like it combines both digital and paint techniques in order to execute and glitchey abstract aesthetic.
