On the late after afternoon of 16th June, it was college's Creative Arts Show, for the private show, like a VIP,  just students invite their family. I have my mum, younger brother, younger sister and my grandparents with me to the show. My mum likes to take some pictures of my work, it was only a poster, with my face, just like everyone in that room. This is me with my granddad behind. My grandparents enjoyed seeing my poster and the rest.

It was before the logo design announcement presentation, the college trip. It was my first time ever being in this building. So, look at the view, at the top of the building, the Cube. They have trees planted on the building, this is eco-friendly kind of thing, i really like it.

This is the last project for first year in graphic design course. We were instructed to do photography practise, finding the objects that shape in number from 0 to 9. My idea of the theme to find the objects of number is nature, as the garden, tree, flower, and so on. Here are some photography i have done.       I looked through these photographs, worked out and then narrowed it down, i have two kind, one as garden and other as tree. Here are my finish presentations. It was a fun project, i enjoyed exploring the numbers outside, feel like a treasure hunt.

This live project seem a big thing to me, a lot going on, busy, busy, busy project. So I have used what I learnt about designing a logo when I did ALEM. Logo should always be simple, clean, colours, with images that people would recognise as the name of the company. Firstly I created a mind map about Corby and Centara, I had some ideas from this when I used it for images bank like tree that represent environment, Raven that represent Corby’s emblem, people that represent the community, etc. Even i grew up in Corby, my family lives there and i still have a friend who lives in Corby and i grew up with. Then I developed some sketches and ideas for the new logo. I designed some simple and colourful. I used mixed media on the logo designs that will bring some idea before I designed it on illustrator. I designed 13 logos but chose 6 to improve and present to the client. My first design I focused on the C, I used the C to underline the ‘entara’, then I placed the strapline inside
