I'm as busy as a bee... poster design!


So this is a poster design I started working on, its based on the Olive Tree Markets competition that finished the 6th of November. I missed out on the competition but I still wanted to give the brief a shot.It also means I will have something else I can add to my portfolio.

Tell me what you think in the comments. Give me your honest opinion.

Another design challenge done...

Ok, so I finished another design challenge from Reddit. The subject of the brief was a bit odd but I did it all the same. I think it came out good but I'm not quite sure about the colours I used. If anyone has an opinion on that please share?

http://www.reddit.com/r/design_challenges/comments/reazv/design_challenge_3_door_hanger_poopy_diaper/
The brief was for me to design a door hanger advertisement for the mock up "Poopy Diaper Delivery" company. I did the best I could from what was given to me in the details (see link above). So here it is:



Current Design Project!

So my current design project that I am working on is putting together a small but impressive portfolio of works. I have decided to take some design challenges I found on Reddit and do them, so that I can then put the finished designs in my portfolio to show my current skills.

(http://www.reddit.com/r/design_challenges/comments/qiyyw/design_challenge_1_logo_zork_delivery)
The first challenge is shown in the link above and is asking for people to design a logo for an Interstellar Delivery service called "Zork".  Now none of these types of projects are new to me because I have had there very types of projects given to me to do as assessments. This is why I think these challenges would make for good exercises to put together to demonstrate that I still have the skills and talents to be a graphic designer.

The following images shows my two designs that I came up with for the challenges, if you have any opinions, like which you prefer please leave a comment:





These designs are copyrighted to SakuraBellStudios. The concept of Zork was brought to us by the person who posted the design challenges on Reddit.

I'm back!

Hey viewers,

So after a long period of not blogging, I have finally decided to return. I will blog my current projects, articles on my current views on life, the things I am studying, and many more things.

Lets see this as a fresh start! Forget the stuff you saw before. The new stuff is what will count.

I've designed myself a new logo and soon it will show up on my blog. Instead of pink, things will be more blue and orange. They aren't my favourite colours but they are my favourite colour combination.

The first article you will receive from me will be one about how much I hate Facebook and how much it is tearing the communication world apart.

What's happening in my life? Well I still have no job (no one needs me right now) but I'm still studying, and of course still trying to get a job from that study. Currently I just finished a course of marketing certificate IV at TAFE. Next year I will go on to the graphic design diploma, finally?! After not being chosen to get in due to a technicality before and having some retail experience, I can finally get back into getting that diploma.

Any way not much else to say right now but I will have more content for you guys soon.

Love you always!
