Sagmeister

I am going to New York for 5 days at the end of June, so i thought I would take the opportunity to visit some studios whilst I was there. Sagmeister is a creative graphic design studio in New York.

Packaging Design




identity/branding




Glorious Creative

Another Creative Graphic Design Studio in Manchester in the Northern Quarter.

Quoted by them- We don't have a pre-planned agenda when we start a project.

What we won't do: produce an expensive brochure for the sake of it.

What we will do: find out who you are and what you're trying to achieve.

We'll ask you how much you're planning to spend and then we'll go away. We'll research your competitors and your customers and work out a plan of action which will deliver the best results for the budget.

The one consistent element is the creative idea at the heart of the work: an idea that
gets results.


They cover areas such as identity, promotional design, design for print, layout etc... 

Examples of their work....















Final End of year show proposal

Final OOMPH business card

I decided instead of the blue i would sue yellow to correspond to my end of year show piece.


Battery Business Cards

To tie in with the theme oomph and battery branded to me, I decided instead of the original business cards I have designed, I would use a smaller version of the battery pack from my end year of show.

Here are some design ideas...

Development of portfolio

Here is the development of my portfolio......

Here is the branding I am using for my final portfolio. I have faded the logo slightly so it is not distracting, and also made the box as jsut an outline, again not too make it so distracting from the work. 

Homebase


The labels are the same which I need to change




Kleenex

The branding
The other page is the same as I have posted earlier. 

OOMPH


first ideas, but I feel it is far too repetitive of using the same logo showing jsut the different colours. So i decided it was better to use just the one logo center. 




This page is far to busy, where I feel photographs would be much more appropriate. 


The other image will be a close up of one of the packaging. 

PJ Smoothies




The empty box will be the other poster in context. 

Stamps



I only have 3 boards for this brief, I need to do a fourth otherwise it wont flow through the portfolio. 

Deadly Sins


I have seperated the different sections of the brief, which i feel looks much better. The 1st page is the same as I showed previous. 

Bacardi 







Mini




The 1st page will be one of the posters enlarged. 

Safe Sex





empty box is a photo close up of the flyers.
