Monochromatic Linear Photoseries
For this photo series package, the object was to ensure the rule of thirds was applied. The 5 pictures making up this series, have the rule applied within them. Leading lines are used throughout this series, making these pictures solely black and white takes away the distraction of colours allowing viewers to observe the various lines through the depths of fields.

Geese's Cocoa Butter Cups
This assignment required the modification of an existing food product, exactly 6 different features needed to be changed. The new modified product was then to be placed into a magazine advertisment, promoting the new product.
For my modified product I changed the following
For the actual magazine advertisment, I stuck with the orange background and yellow font, as it stays inline with Reese's theme and style of art when it comes to thier advertisements. I think creating the drop shadow and stroke brought the product out enough that eyes would be drawn to it first and it would be diffrentiable compared to the background. In terms of elements and principals of design, while following Reese's theme of simplicity, the advertisement is centerred so the consumers can read it top to bottom fairly easily. While the colours of the package and the background may not link well artistically, the yellow and orange combination allows people to directly identify the image with Reese.
For my modified product I changed the following
- Reese to Geese
- New to Old
- 6 Bars to 16 Bars
- Peanut Butter to Cocoa Butter
- Changed wording underneath product

Vacation Ad Campaign
This graphic design assignment consisted of 4 advertisements that were different however followed a common theme and common objective. Each of the advertisement contain a path on which a person stands, indicating a road which they can choose to travel down via 'Air Transat'
1. Having cooler colours amplified the temperatures imagined by the viewer, aswell as by using the rule of thirds, this ad allows the viewers eyes to fall on the person standing and the semi transparent airplane in the background.
2. Continuing the pathway trend, this ad allows the person standing to bold out due to the white shirt contrasting with the brown, and earth colours.
3. Again dividing the picture up into thirds allows easier communication as viewers' eyes naturally fall on the giant plan, and the path unto the house.
4. The rule of thirds, along with using a different shade of colour than the background allows the individual to stand out and be highlighted as a focal point

Arkham Knight Game Cover
The original image real life image taken
Final game cover, with the original picture placed in the the 3rd box at the bottom of the back cover
This cover keeps unity throughout by utilizing different areas of the grayscale on the main front, back, and side pictures. Accented by the red outlines, having the important features outlined on the front keeps it balanced. While on the back batman's presence on the left is met by the three gameplay pictures to his right along with a block of text, this minimizes negative space while achieving balance. As mentioned earlier this cover does provide a sense of unity throughout by sticking to a theme, and this makes this one of my finest pieces of work this semester.

Mosaic Poster Design
The mosaic poster assignment required the use of a collage style to produce a poster of an athletic pose. It was made by using a base pose, and then adding a variety of pictures on it to create a collage effect. The image is the result of trimming off all the different pictures, to fit the pose.
My poster springs from my love of soccer and my support of my team Manchester City. The collage displays an iconic strike pose, while displaying a collaboration of pictures over the recent successful era for the club. The text at the bottom is a reminder of the goal to initiate the success period for the club, and the goal and game that brought the club its first league title in 44 years. The collage serves as a reminder to fans of the iconic last minute goal scored by Sergio Aguero, and also acts as a tribute for the sustained success over the recent years.
On a design aspect, this collage achieves unity by keeping in sync with the colours of the team. This is benefitted by the repeated blue coming up in various pictures throughout.
