Threadless t-shirts...

I found these illustrations in the book 1000 Garment Graphics, as I am thinking of doing a final brief concentrating around design for t shirts. These illustrations are beautiful and really to my taste! This example below is quite cool, illustration but experimenting with different textures, I could maybe bring this technique in to my work.

Paul smith advertising...

I remembered a while ago that I saw some Paul Smith advertisments that were to my taste, below I chose this as I like the simplicity and composition of type. I could think about using this style in my design context publication. It is again following a magazine form.I love this piece of advertising for Paul Smith floral, it is bright, vibrant and photographed beautifully in an appropriate context which really benefits the work and attracts attention.
Using design for bottle packaging, simple but yet effective design and easily recognisable to Paul Smtih.

Design Context Crit...

Overall my crit with Justin went really well, I am happy with the development I have made so far with my book I just have to make sure that I have got all my relevant content and that I really make sure that when people pick up my book that they are going to 'learn something new' that it's not just like any other book that you could easily pick up from the library. I have to make sure that it is individual to me and make it reflect what I have learnt and the work that I do.

Design for clothing range, picked this example out for the way in which they have photographed the jumper made it a lot more interesting, shows how good photography can really make an impact.

I love the different textures and stocks used in this leaflet above, changing the stock of your work really makes a difference to the final outcome and sets it apart from other work.
Different ways of photographing work that you have done to make it look more interesting.
Experimental typography, in this case used for self promotion. I have been told that you cant do enough self promotion so I really need to start focusing on this more.
