Free Ad (My Finals and Others)

Adverts I created for Will, Jane and Myself

For Janes ad, I tried to portray a sense of hands on design and a practical practice. I also wanted to convey a sense of product and packaging. I kept the font sans-serif as I wanted it to look the least influenced by any country as possible as Jane would like to work internationally. I also wanted to keep it simple and too the point as this is what Jane said she likes to be and she does in her design work too.

I went for an actual editorial layout for my own ad, I also picked the font Bodoni, as I feel its is very fashionable/ modern and fashion editorial, like Vogue and Elle. I stuck with black and white. 

Things I would change after seeing what others have created for me...

• I would probably change the layout. 
• Make my name into more of a logo/brand
• Include an fashion like photograph
• Perhaps introduce a colour. 
• Use opacities

Adverts created for me by Jane and Will

Things that I would consider correct about myself as a designer about this poster ...

• Typographic, editorial style font.
• Simple colour scheme
• Structured, and use of geometric shapes

Things I would consider changeable...

• The colour pink 
• The layout 
• Perhaps inclusion of a photographic image 
• And my contact details

Things that I would consider correct about myself as a designer about this poster ...

• Type and image has been used
• I like the photograph, its girly and editorial
• I really like the black and white colour schemes, the use of opacities ext
• The details of interest are correct as are the contact details

Things I would consider changeable...

• The choice of font, is too digital almost computer-game like 
• Perhaps the layout
• And maybe the use of the white borders
• Also the font used for my name, is a bit script like for me

A separate group of people then had to look at the three ads and describe what they thought the person was about as a designer... 

• editorial style
• modernist
• classic
• contemporary 
• stylish

I think that all of these are things I would like to communicate about my own work and practice. I would say that I do sway towards a more Modern style.

Things the ads didn't have in common 

• use of colour
• use of photography 
• layout
• shape/format

I think personally I need to address layouts that I like , and I should of had photographic imagery in my own free ad. I also think that the me and will had a similar colour scheme.
