New Christmas Graphic Design –

My love of Skateboarding has helped me in creating logo’s\Design’s for my local Skate Shop, HotBox.

Firstly a design i made for them about a year ago has become one of their main brands and has been put on tops, jumpers and made into stickers, which i have seen on many boards.

Graffiti style logo design

I have now created a logo and banner for their website to advertise their Christmas deals.

If anyone has any ideas for a graphic design that they want to see and doesn’t know who to go to, give me a message and i’ll be more than happy to design an image of your choice.

Alternatively, any ideas are helpful. As i am constantly trying to get better and by trying different styles and ideas it will help me in developing my practice.

Thankyou.

Two artworks that stood out to me were,

And,

Lonesome Companion by Pete G. Donaldson

Firstly I looked at the artists background for Empty Garden to deepen my understanding for a academic writing piece.

Jinjoon Lee was born in South Korean, Masan in 1974. This meant he was brought into a world with more than harsh circumstances such as the on going protests for a democratic system, against the regime of the President, Park Chung-hee.

A major part in these protests were the female textile workers, working in Masans free export zone.

Now living in the uk,

He works with mixed media such as sculpture, photo, sound, video, instillation and architecture with a focus to explore the perception of utopian space ideology.

He emphasises the cross between past and present, or the real and the imagined.
