Our final show

Gor the past week we have been setting up our final show in a small room in the downstairs part of college. we had to sort moving some of the furniture, cleaning the walls down and painting them, getting all the work in and mounted. Once it was all prepared we got starter poster up so we had our line to put up the A1 posters once these were up stuck up with velcro stickers we put up and arranged the smaller work below the a1 posters. We then got some computers down there with pictures music and our websites on them. Also our packaging is in the room and a wall of handmade work. Tonight is the private showing where our familys and others can come. Should be fun.

My FMP

For my FMP I have chosen to re-brand 'Levi Roots Reggae Reggae Sauce' and also brand it for the American market. This is a good project for me as it is bright vibrant and lively work. I met Levi Roots and got his contact to send my designs to him and hopefully something will come of this. I am looking into Jamaican culture, food, music, design and also the reggae culture. from all my research i'm going to design labels, posters bottles and other promotional material. I will look into typographic designs in Jamaica and design some typefaces to suit the product.

This is going to be a good project and i am looking forward to the research, my designs and feedback from my client Levi Roots.

Kingston University Portfolio Showing

I recently recieved a E-Mail from Kingston University, the University asked me to send them my portfolio online. I am now going to send them my blogger link and some pictures of my portfolio. I did not know that universities looked at students portfolios in this way, but it seems quite a cool thing as you can update it with your work so you build up your portfolio, and with the times we are in, its a very modern and easily accessable way. I look forward to hearing back from Kingston with critism and improvements on my work and portfolio.
