Previous ProjectBand promotion - hey!robot!
This project was to create a brand identity for the band in which they can market themselves in the unsigned music industry. The brief entitled us to design and produce suitable graphics and packaging for the demo EP, flyers, posters, stickers, pin-badges and the re-design of their myspace profile. To date we have undergone two photo shoots as well as designed, produced and distributed over 100 of the promo packs. We have designed the full brand identity which is still in place today. www.myspace.com/heyrobot
FMPMy final major project is split into two, still working as a collaboration for all our unsigned band promotion and freelance work with jamie howell. The other half of my FMP is to allow me to push my creative photography. It is something i enjoy in my spare time and as well in my work. This project is an experimental challenge for me as it gives me the chance to take my hobby seriously and apply myself as a creative to different aspects of photography and image making. It gives me the opportunity to create compelling form within photography on a fine art aspect of image making. As my portfolio is mostly graphic design, this allows me to make my portfolio stronger for the future.
As for life after Viscom, I have already secured a job at advertising agency Ogilvy and Mather in Dubai, as a Junior Art Director.
Response from audience...BBC Radio Sheffield - Raw talent.
"it was kinda' in a cardboard box but had all the details of the band and all the tracks on the outside of the packaging, which is pretty unique"
