Google Doodle

Another short University project was to choose a random date and create a Google Doodle about an event that happened on that date. I chose January 15th and found out that in 1967 was the first ever Super Bowl game that saw (National Football League) team, Green Bay Packers beat (American Football League) team Kansas City Chiefs.

I was told later that Google already have a doodle for my chosen event, however I haven't seen their version so who knows if their idea is like mine! 

Anyways, here is my final design for this short project featuring an American football scene with some objects representing letters of the word, Google.


Hope you like it and thanks for reading! x

A Word By Post

A short project for University that involved designing either a month, day of the week or season which could be sent through the post. I chose the month February and themed it around me going to see the UK tour of Hairspray the Musical in 2013.

Front Design

Reverse Design

I based the front typography like the musical tour logo and illustrated imagery from the film credits to make it that little bit more obvious of my chosen theme. I hope you like it so please let me know what you think?

Glitter Hair Video Sting #2

After receiving great comments about my first video sting, I can now, dramatically, unveil my second video sting. This video is based on my first however, with a different hairstyle and more glitter!

I had a great time filming my video stings which, opened my eyes up to the video & sound world. I know my stings aren't 100% professional and all but I'm happy with the results considering im a Graphic Design student. Hope you enjoy my work and share it on FaceBook or Twitter - that'd be ace!

Video credits include: Jade Wright (model), Terry Railton (hair stylist) with music by Agnes - Loaded (2012).

Glitter Hair Video Sting #1

After learning the basics of Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 and watching a few slow motion techniques on YouTube, I have finished editing my first video sting.

Just to recap, this video project for University involved me producing two sting ads lasting no more than 15 seconds each to a client of my choice. I have chosen schwarzkopf to be my client (if you represent Schwarzkopf, and like this video I'd love some freebies, thanks!) and each theme is about looking a million pounds (with a touch of glitter) for using their hair products.

I'm really pleased with this video because I have never filmed in a studio before, let alone edited film and everything. I really hope you enjoy my first video sting!

Video Sting Photos

So yesterday I organised and filmed my video shoot with the help of my friends all playing a key roll. First of all, Jade Wright was my lovely model who ended up covered in loose glitter, all for the purpose of my video shoot. Im glad she handled it well and was good about being glittery for days! Second, was Terry Railton, my hairstyle assistant who did a great job at styling two hairstyles in a short amount of time and making jade look fab! Lastly there was all round help from Jordan Mansell who was our own personal wind machine, light checker and glitter thrower.

I just want to thank you all for taking time out to help me with my student work. You're all ace and I love you lots!

Now it's time to learn how to edit my video footage and make it look amazing (hopefully). Enjoy some of the photos that was taken during my video shoot.


Thank for readings, x

Video Sting Brief

For a student project, I've been asked to create two video stings lasting no longer then 15 seconds each. The stings can be based on a chosen client or can be artist and say something I think needs to be said.

I've chosen to base my video stings on a hair care client after recently being inspired by this video below by Lilly Donaldson:

I'd love to do this type of shot with glitter falling out of the hair, looking all fabulous to appeal to girls that like their shiny stuff! I'm looking forward the filming later this week!

Stay tuned for more progress! x
