25 Posters

recently my mum suggested that I try out product design, and when I asked her what it was, she was like, "you know, you said you like Ikea... like, you know, chairs!" and I'm like, "CHAIRS??? Can you imagine CNY visits? 'What do you do, Grace?' 'I design chairs.'" And I was all laughing and stuff and couldn't take it seriously. but then now whenever i go out and see something and i'm like, "i love this! the design totally makes me want to buy it! it pops! it's so unique, so simple, so graphic!" and my mum wiggles her eyebrows and says slyly, "product... design..."

I would have been OK with it had she not suggested chairs as an initial example. Thanks, mum.

Anyway, aside from product photography/design I really like using photoshop to create posters and "magazine spreads", etc etc, which is what sparked off my idea of working in a magazine so I can write AND do this graphic thing at the same time. not to say i'm definite about wanting that as a career, but it's an idea.

first off, some posters I did for my cca's publicity at the sec 1 cca exhibition this year.

i edited the penguin books cover! i love this one

this was the original concept for all the subgroup posters; i wanted it to be kind of vintage and outlandish

then some notebook covers for some handmade notebooks my class was selling for funfair this year.

the words on the burnt slip say 'social butterfly'

---

sometimes i do moodboards on photoshop for the fun of it. i think of it as fake magazine spreads.

some publicity posters for my class's booth for funfair this year... just playing on people's fandoms, of course! our taylor swift and shinee ones got stolen off the walls- i don't know if i should take that as a compliment or not because we'd actually already 'choped' the posters amongst ourselves in class to keep after the funfair.

they're all basically the same layout but with different boxes and fonts. 

I also do the design for my cca's newsletter, INKED. you can check out all the spreads here! (shameless advertising)
