Soapworks evaluation

Hand-drawn logo

I have hand drawn my logo however I have added the logo name onto to the logo via adobe photoshop.

Final Packaging and Swing Tag

Final packaging and swing tag

Chocoholics Swing Tag

Here is my swing tag I have produced. I have drawn the image by hand however added the name "Chocoholics" using adobe illustrator.

Final Packaging

This is my final packaging I have completed. Firstly I have produced a star shape on adobe illustrator. Then I added a bold colour of red with decent shaped polka dots as it refers to a strawberry.Finally I printed it and joined up the edges of the shape together in order to create my package. However I have made the green leaves on top of my packaging by hand, in addition to this I inserted some green tissue paper into the packaging.

Net packaging

This is the net shape I have used in order to make my final packaging.

Hand-drawn swing tags

Here are some swing tag designs I have drawn and colours using felt tip pens. 

I enjoyed this as it was very interesting experimenting with different designs with the same colours. 

Examples of swing tags

Here are a couple of swing tag examples I have found while researching on the internet.

I like these designs as they are not very basic but not very difficult, also the designs are not clashing together.

Experimenting of illustrations using Adobe Illustrator.

Here are a couple of illustration designs I experimented with using Adobe Illustrator.

cross stich logo

Using adobe illustrator I created a cross stitch logo 

The first image is the accurate cross stitch logo I experimented with, however the second image is not very accurate.

Packaging net examples

Here are a few net designs I experimented with. I have experimented with these in order to come up with an initial idea and to improve my construction skills. In my opinion the triangle and square net were easy to construct however the carrier bag net was a little more difficult to put together. In contrast to this the package that I like the most was the carrier bag, and the least I liked was the square as it is very basic and less interesting. 

Logo analysis

THORNTONS- The logo is contrasting with chocolate, such as the font and the colours used. 

HOTEL CHOCOLAT- The word “Chocolat” is written in a font which relates to chocolate as it sort of looks dripped. However it is designed in black and white which does not contrast with chocolate, although the logo seems very posh.

CADBURY- The swirly pattern behind the word seems like chocolate that looks mixed with the word “Cadbury”, however the colours do not relate with chocolate.

Chocolate Packaging Ideas

Here is an image of a packaging idea I came across while re-searching.

In addition to building up on ideas I am planning to use a similar net design however I will be using similar colours with different details.

New Years Resolutions

My new years resolutions:


-Keep up on deadlines
-Upload work on blog regularly
-Concentrate in lesson

AS Graphics Mindmap

Here is a mind map we have produced as a group in order to illustrate and gather our ideas together.

Final poster development

Camera

Here I have drawn a camera and photo-shoped in order to get the details noticeable, and then used adobe illustrator to use different colours on the same image.

Experimenting with make-up

I have experimented with a couple of make up products such as liquid eyeliner, eye shadow, eye shimmer, lipstick, bronzer, nail varnish and pencil eyeliner. 
I have also done the swatches for each product, I liked using lipstick, liquid eyeliner, bronzer and eye shadow as they were quite enjoyable to use because eye shadow and bronzer were easy to blend and liquid eyeliner would be accurate as the brush is very thin, also lipstick would create an effect that I liked too. However I do not recommend using eye shimmer as it was not noticeable, pencil eyeliner and nail polish were not an alternative too as they were not creating the effect I expected.

icons and quotes feminism

Here are a couple of quotes I have found through the internet by researching topics concerning about women and feminism. Also a couple of images of icons such as Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn.

Ed Ruscha inspired work. I have experimented with different types of food products such as honey, salt and popcorn.

INITIAL IDEAS


Here are a couple of handmade ideas I have produced. 

HEBOK LEE

I enjoyed using pastels and charcoal as it is easy to create the wanted effect. Also you can easily blend pastels and charcoal. You can also blend in pastels together which enables you to work with different tones.

Illustrator type examples

Here are some type examples I have experimented with using Adobe Illustrator. I have used words such as 'size and font, dream, music, typography' also I have used my name 'Bahar' and a quote 'Dream, believe, achieve'.

SI SCOTT

Si Scott

Here I have produced a work quoting 'Believe' as in this case I am inspired by Si Scott. In my opinion Si Scott has very inspiring work as he uses different techniques, colours and quotes.
