road sign task





Last week we were given this task. I chose to do the WARNING sign for a near by nuclear power plant as i felt it would be a lot more interesting and complete different to anything i had done before. Before i started to come up with ideas i researched existing warning signs and many follow the same forms. The majority of warning signs all use a triangle and as you can see from the variety of warning signs below they all use the same colour code and very simple pictograms. 




For my design i wanted to adhere to these rules and keep with the triangle form, bright yellow and contacting black colour and also use clear/simple pictograms. 

I thought i was going to find this task quite challenging as it was something new but i feel i produced a good sign and i am confident in my design. 

below is my design for the warning sign to an upcoming nuclear power plant: 



Below is my sign placed in a realistic situation for where it may be used:

further developed ideas

leaflet designs

Image
Above was one of the first front cover designs for the leaflet. i wanted to portray a natural feeling but very quickly scrapped it due to it not really fitting the brief and didn't suit Elgar.  above is the front and back cover for my second design. i felt this portrayed a historic nature trail by the earthy tones used and organic photos. i decided to go against this design as i felt is was better suited to a nature trail or something along those routes instead of an historic route about elgar.  above is my final leaflet cover design (front and back). the yellow on the left will be cut out around the black outline (malvern hills outline). the yellow is a flap which wraps from the back to the front meeting the edge of the title on the front. i felt this design was best suited and had a modern edge to it whilst celebrating elgar and the wonderful scenery around.  above is the different pages in the leaflet. the top image is of two separ...
