This final link is mm paris. I chose the top image because of the way the lines rap around each other in a similar way to non format. The lines flow around the face in the background.
The image below, reminds me of an inverted image. You have to look closer to the illustration to make out what it is. Just like in the non format design, the designer ahs used different weight lines which add depth into it. Also the background image adds to this feeling.

I’ve now come back to Non-format because of the similar way the lines emerge from the typography like the previous link. Here they have just used black lines emerging from the type but against the white background it is still quite dramatic like the colourful work of Marian Bantjes. I like the way the designer has used different weights of lines which has added depth into this design and the way they rap around each other decoratively.

This piece by Marian Bantjes is called Vivid World. I chose this piece because of its use of curly lines like in the previous link. The lines emerge from the typography instead in this link but I think it works really well with the decorative typeface used.
The lines make the type into and illustration instead of just a heading of an article

NB: STUDIO



Tate Britain 2003
This design is similar to the London Underground map with its brightly coloured lines. It was designed by Nick Vincent. I came across this image while look through a book called ‘ The Graphic Designers guide to effective visual communication’. It ties in with be running theme of these links, which is the use of flowing lines in designs. By looking at this image, I them came across the image in the bottom right. The lines curve and twist in a similar way to the Boykillboy CD cover.

Big Active




These images are album and single cover designs by Markus Karlsson for BoykillBoy. The colours used in both links are the same but this is not the reason I chose them. I chose them because of the way the lines emerge from the neck and bottle in a similar way. It looks like the figures head has just exploded and these overlapping lines are the thoughts that have been unleashed.

Coke side of life
Wieden+Kennedy/
This is Real Art

Illustration for Coke side of life campaign

These images above are illustrations for Coke side of Life campaign. I was drawn to the bottom image first because of the use of bright colours and detail in it. You have to look closer to see that it is leaves emerging from the coke bottle. From a distance it looks like coloured bubbles, fizzing out of the top.
From looking at this image I then came across the top image, which was included in this series of illustrations. Instead of leaves coming out of the bottle, coloured pencils emerge from it. I think that this version in the campaign was aimed at younger people with the smiley face drawn on it compared to the other colourful image of leaves, which would be more appealing to adults.

Animation Booklet




To accompany this animation I also had to produce a booklet. I based this booklet around some of the interesting screen shots this animation had. I have made the booklet show the animation but there are parts, which don’t look right until you watch the animation. For instance, the rotating symbols could not be shown in the booklet so I place a darker symbol behind the front symbol to make it look like it was moving. I wanted to keep the reader guessing what was going to happen in the animation without telling them too much in the booklet.
