OUGD 402 - Newspaper Advert: Me

To start the process of creating a newspaper ad that effectively portrays how I want to be interpreted, I first started by gathering some work that I have produced. I also reviewed the information that I gave Abi and Jasper, this being how I want to portray myself.

 

 

The work I produced for Dry Dock; this was from the research I collected on the television program 'Cheers'.

My final outcome for the Secret 7 project

 

 

My other designs that were created for the Secret 7 project.

 

The font I created on Illustrator, visually representing the word 'compact'.
