This is the latest brief I have been working on, it is one of the YCN competition briefs based on promoting Marks and Spencers PlanA scheme http://plana.marksandspencer.com/
which focuses on M&S becoming a more ethically aware company, they are doing this by setting themselves targets over several years in order to become one of the most ethically conscious large companies in the country. The brief itself is based around encouraging the consumer to also take up the challenge to be more ethically aware in their daily lives through taking pledges on the M&S website such as, eat your five a day or use energy efficient lightbulbs, this could be realised through various media vehicles i.e. online advertising, store promotion, packaging etc. I decided to re-design the M&S bag for life into a collection of different bags each raising awareness by displaying a different pledge and how to achieve it, but also linking clearly to the website so that the consumer can become more involved and hopefully consider other pledges as well.
At the moment I'am finalising colourways for the series and arranging the final type layout but I thought I would post a couple of the development pages with the final series to be posted later this week.

I've just built this up as a new form of torture for myself so I thought I would share the first few photos before the bike gets all battered...

Narc Magazine 'live brief'
Narc is a music and culture magazine focusing on the north east, they hold a competition once a year to design students studying in Newcastle to design a magazine cover and CD with packaging. This concept is based around the childhood practice of carving your loved one's initials into a tree, I wanted to look into the 'love Narc' idea keeping it simple. If my submission was to be shortlisted the photography and carving would be reshot. Im also going to enter another cover based around 80's punk gig posters, will be up soon.
1st year 'before,' pieces.

I thought I would post a selection of work from my first year of study as I'am about to revisit some of it and amend a few things in preparation for my portfolio site and thought it would be nice to have a 'before,' section in order to represent my learning curve. The amendments should be up within a week or so, and the new portfolio site will be live within a month.
