This was the third project i was set, where i was paired up with another member from my Graphics group. For the first few hours, I had to try and figure out Orron and find something unique about him so I could then create a logo without using his name. I found this difficult, but while we were at lunch he had a nose bleed, this is where I found out that he has nose bleeds everyday. I thought this was something I could then work with because not everyone has nose bleeds everyday. This is my final design, it's simple but effective.
Stairway to Helvetica.
This was the second project I was given on the first day. We were split up into 10 groups of 5 where we then had to pick out of random a font. We chose the OCR-A typeface. We then got on with the project as a group and went to research about the font, after about an hour we were writing up lyrics and about 2hours into the project we already had our song. the second part was to create a music video for the song we had written, we chose to use stock motion to complete the video and this was the final outcome!
The lyrics to the song.
Chorus (Girls): O C R A you're leading the way,
making things much easier today.
Verse 1 (Oliver): In sixty eight, that was the date,
O C R A became a recognised type face,
computers could read and people could read,
without it being too complicated.
Chorus (Girls): O C R A you're leading the way,
making things much easier today.
Verse 2 rap (Jean): Yeah.. O C R A, thats our type face,
1968 was a mad date,
Ray K was the dude who provided,
He got paid to pursue his designs mate,
Typeface designed to be the hardest,
Queen's New York I'm repping it for the artist!
Chorus (Girls): O C R A you're leading the way,
making things much easier today.
Verse 3 (Oliver): It's San Serif, don't you forget,
you don't have squiggles and many accents,
there's no way that it couldn't be read,
and if you can't you're messed up in the head.
Chorus (Girls): O C R A you're leading the way,
making things much easier today.
Chorus (Whole Group): O C R A you're leading the way,
making things much easier today.

Hello My Name Is.
This was our first project, it was something really different and made me think hard but realise that I didn't have the time to think about it, it was more like the first thing that came into my head when I to fill in the box. For each box theres a different title, and we were given a set time for each box, for example two minutes. This was a challenge for me as I am a very indecisive person, but when it came to this I was struggling but enjoying it at the same time because I was challenging myself. We were told to use a range of media's thick, thin, black, coloured pens, coloured pencils or anything else we had. This is what was produced in no more than twenty minutes or so.
