Picture-taking has been put on hold the past few weeks while the lens of my camera was being fixed by Sony. But now I finally have it back and have been going snap happy from the sofa! As you can tell from the picture above, the latest Aperture Room obsession is kids sweets... Dib Dabs, Alphabet Letters, Refreshers... so good!
But even better than that, you may be seeing a number of our shots large scale. More information to follow, but exciting news!
Degree Show Poster
Something kind of exciting that will be happening over the next couple of months is the coming to life of my concept for the Edinburgh Napier Degree Show.
Previously, the degree show was known as the Creative Showcase and was held at Mansfield Traquair. However this year the work is going to be displayed inside the Design School itself... Our class was given the oppurtunity to come up with a new branding solution that included posters, invitations, signage and a wayfinding system to help visitors navigate through the corridors and I was lucky enough to have my idea chosen!
Invitation Concepts
The concept is based around memories, our inspirations and how we find our way around places. As most people know to turn the corner when they get to the house with the yellow door (or blue, or white...) I used this as the basis to my wayfinding system. Utilising the 'dead' spaces of the corridors I envision huge, interactive spaces/items that can we walked through or around or touched and ultimately enhance the experience of the visitor.
Door Signage Concepts
Above are a number of the print elements which you should look at full size to check out all of the information! I'm sure most of the things will have to be changed a little to be more practical, but until then, here's an idea of what you might see if you come to scrutinise the graduating year's work!
A few weeks ago, I said I would post the full version of my The Body Shop D&AD entry.. and here it is! These are the boards I uploaded online so the writing isn't crystal clear, but I'm sure if you squint a little you'll be able to work out all the posters...
Fingers crossed and all that good stuff!
