More Magazine work

This is a continuation of my magazine obsession. Last year we were required to construct, conceptualize and complete a  magazine in a group.We each had to do a three page spread with an article and whatever extra the magazine required I did an extra ad and a technological magazine spread  for my article.
We were required to do all our own photography for this project so I decided to use my home as a studio. go check out my Tumblr here for those photo's which are to be uploaded soon. Even though I feel 
It was my first attempt at this and I feel it wasn't to bad.

Iconic Redesign

We had a project to redesign an iconic brand in SA and come up with an advertising solution for the brand, we had a choice between: yum yum peanut butter; Mageau no 1; Glenryck Pilchards and Ouma rusks. I chose Ouma rusks and recreated the packaging and came up with an advertising solution of remembering your first time you had an Ouma. My Idea could be interpreted in various ways and for me was the best solution for topical advertising, I had various ideas for the slogan "Remember your first dip" was my final decision. It could have been edgy or really simple I chose to stick with simple because as a brand Ouma really isn't edgy it is a more traditional brand and maybe if need be it could be a bit tongue and cheek but not as daring as brands like Nando's. So thats is why my advertising is simple and clean.

Graphic Inspiration

A mash up of posters, illustrations and package designs found at abduzeedo. These showcase intelligent and well done design so I found a need to share

Longboard Adverts

 

These were adverts that we had to do for college, we had to create long board adverts and logo for a magazine. I was stuck whether I should use the black or green stripe but personally I prefer the green stripe maybe because I kinda like the colour green that might be it or because it looks better.

The Radio station that is Vibe

We had to create a fictional radio station for college by the name of Vibe fm. I designed this logo to support my whole theme of contrasting where I contrasted rock and soul for the advertising and blocky font and script font for my logo. The whole concept of my brand is an appeal to musically eclectic people with a focus on alternative rock,soul and indie music.
