"Significance of Numbers"
So today was our first an final crit for our "significance of numbers" brief. For this brief we where asked to design an A2 poster on the significance of numbers, Its a really open brief, which I really enjoyed the broadness of. The brief helped me get back into thinking mode after the long summer holiday.
After a lot of brainstorming and throwing round ideas, I had the realisation of the fact our identities (visually and personally) are based up of thousands of numbers ie, height, weight, shoe size etc, or bank account details, passwords, serial codes etc. Which are all unique to us.
For this I decided to create a typographic piece of work using all the numbers I had found out, the numbers I used where all my personal numbers from my age to my passport number, finding out these numbers took up a lot of my time as this was only a week long project, but i got there in the end...
Baring in mind, typographically this still needs work I think the poster explains its self well enough to not need an explanation. on the poster its self.
This image using crop marks is to show the placement and where i have used the white space.
As the way I chose to answer this brief was to do with uniqueness and identity i decided to place the thumb print in the most random place possible on the page for an effective composition. If you where to measure from each side of the print to the edge of the paper no horizontal or vertical line length would be the same.
"Variety in spacing, just as in life, adds spice. Visual variety allows the eye to play. Play encourages exploration. Exploration draws the viewer in."- Jim Krause

an insight to the jist of my book...
For my Professional project "Buffaloes and Brain cells"
I decided to design, photograph and write the equivalent of a self help book for students. To create something that would be read and kept by students, I needed to create something dynamic without seeming pretentious, I included humor to make sure it was something students would read. The reasoning for this book occurred to me after having a series of anxiety attacks at the beginning of university. My current housemate has a real problem with anxiety as well, which can stop her from attending her job and family gatherings that are situated outside of Bournemouth town. Since researching into this a lot more I found a lot more problems students go through that end with students quitting university. Unlike most self help books, every page of this book was written by a student. This book will not save your life. It won’t get you a seventy on your dissertation and it certainly won’t guarantee you that hot piece of ass over the road. What it will do, is make you look at your day as something to savour. Read it and you will realise that the annoying pulsating pain in your neck is not going to be the death of you after all. In an ideal world this book would be found in the welcome pack students receive before stepping up from college to university. My target audience is students ranging from the ages of 18-30. My aim is to help students when they are feeling down, homesick and generally just have too much to handle.
Everyone should read information is beautiful! stole these pics of my friends blog saves me scanning in a few pages:

Simon Page
I am unsure on how I feel about this piece yet but it caught my eye for reasons unknown...
I just stumbled upon this guy, he is a self-taught graphic designer from the UK who specialises in typography, illustration and geometric design.
VICENTE GARCÍA MORILLO
I just came across these awesome posters by the graphic designer Vicente Garcia Morillo check out the link for portfolio.
Based in Madrid, Vicente Garcia Morillo likes breaking the rules of graphic design and typography. Vincente’s energetic artworks are inspired by his obsession for electronic music and iconic typo’s. His graphic design flyers and posters write the dictionary between the language of art and the bold statements of nowadays multimedia culture.
