My final outcome is aimed at adults which have an experience in business, and may need the services of an interpreter. I chose a formal and proffessional design throughout the package, including humour and clever use of the companies services with the poster; to intrest the reader and thus gain more clients to the company. I also considered sight and hearing impaired persons through use of sign language illustrations for the poster and braille on the envelope and business card. The braille reads correct; the company name, and telephone number. The reader can then contact The Interpreters and inquire about our services in conversation. - I think these are two key elements to my outcome, they show the company covers a range of different translation, rather than the expected foreign languages...

- To improve the overall mail, i would state the fact that The Interpreters do translate foreign languages, something i somehow missed!

This video is quite surreal, i found it weird as i couldn't label it with any meaning...

Bones Magazine x Simon Gelifus from Bones Magazine on Vimeo.

Here's a video from 'Bones Magazine.co.uk'
They're a web-based magazine, which subscribers can download their monthly podcast from itunes for free. The videos are bursting with graphics, you don't really know where to look or what to focus on as things are moving constantly.. Their videos however, do portray a subject/emotion, this the 'hardcore' issue of the magazine.
I like the way they deliver their work, through podcasts and online reports, i think it suits the younger generation and is an insight into how design could be communicated in the future.

Stanley Donwood - Radiohead

 Stanley Donwood has  taken the role of designing and creating the album work for nearly all of the band Radioheads' records.  I find his style of artwork really interesting, it's different and  looks asif it has  texture, when really its just flat graphics.  He creates  large scale images, which  have a powerful content of dramatic buildings , mountains and landscapes.  I like his use of mixed media and techniques, his works consist of; paint, digital & hand-generated illustration, photography, typography, and packaging design.

Typography - Stop motionfilming

iLK™ | graphic design, illustration and art direction | free...

This film clip uses a creative technique using typography.
The creator used stop-motion filming; compiling a series of photographs to create a film.
I like how the type spreads and 'takes over' the woman's body. I think the black and white contrast works really well to produce a powerful piece of film.

Photo Editing - Graffiti (by me)

I'v investigated the use of line within things we see everyday for my Visual Language work.
In these images i used several Photoshop techniques to add graffiti to a clean surface. A surface prime for graffiti.
Here are some examples...
