GLOW cutouts

This was a simple idea i just cut out the letterform that i printed off from photoshop and then stuck it onto my bedside light to give it the glowing effect. Some of the photos didn't have the clean look i was going for but thats the way it goes sometimes.

GLOW experiments with photography

This is the result of 2 graphics students some glow sticks and a camera set with a long exposure.

Charlie's alphabet summer brief

HOW TO...final product

HOW TO...typefaces

This is the type of typeface we decided upon as a group it gave the map a more illustrative look and it made it feel more personal to the students.

HOW TO...logo

These were some of the logos we came up as a group, we decided to go for the more hand rendered feel as we thought it would give a more personal connection with the student.

HOW TO...layout

Above is the layout ideas we came up with as a group we decided that this would be the most simple and easily understandable way of presenting our map. We chose to include some map facts that way the student can get the best advice on what type of nap to take and how to do it.

HOW TO...map images

These were some of our maps we drew, we simplified them down from the ground floor originals to produce more easily understandable map, so the person going for a nap can quickly identify the closest napping area. directly above is a map found in the 'You Are Here' book  from one of my previous posts.  It has inspired our illustrative and simple look.  We thought that by hand rendering the map it would give a more personalised feel to the new students

HOW TO...research

We took a ground floor map and had a look round the college to identify the best places to sneak off for a nap, we decided to colour code these: navy being the most calming and yellow being acceptable napping area's.
