This is the video I made on After Effects to demonstrate how my app I designed for my second year major project works.

This has just become one of my favourite things ever. The video to Do The Evolution by Pearl Jam.

RSA postage stamps competition brief – UCF Level 2, Semester 2

These are my final design proposals for the stamps competition brief.

The outline of the brief states:

Brief A: Social Mail
Celebrate and encourage the art of
letter writing through the design of a set
of stamps that will entice the sender to
post a letter.

The first concept is just the very simple idea of the pencil getting shorter and shorter as the amount of letters you write and the distance they have to be sent increases. It is intended that it can be quite interpretive with no message written on the stamp as you can picture a story behind the sharpenings yourself and build your own message. There isn’t really much else to it then that but I think the images and continuity between the stamps are very striking and something quite unique.

The second proposal was based on the concept of highlighting what digital forms of communication have taken away from the personality and uniqueness of letter writing. It shows the same message on each stamp written in a different form of writing which shows a huge diversity in who writes letters in clear gender, age and professional differences in them. The connotation of “typing is not my voice” with the phrase “war is not my voice” is there to bring an extreme relation of the digital takeover, eradicating a communication device which many hold dear, to the way in which wars are only controlled by a few. This concept took a lot longer to get to a final stage and possibly has a more complicated message then the other proposal which may make it less accessible. However, I like it so shut up.

Hope y’all have enjoyed both of these.
