Group Stuff




Just some old logo's I had on my hard drive to spark some book club idea's

2nd Group Meeting

After Coming back over the i had set up a space in my room and did some rostrum shots of items i could collect between me and matt




The first thing i noticed was the wooden desk was far too dark and it was taking a lot of focus of the items so we would need to get a lighter base stock. The lighting in my room was also not up to scratch so for this to work properly we needed to book a studio to use some of the lighting. But all and all it could work!

We all spoke about items we could use and gave matt some feedback for the logo. Sophy booked the photography studio for the monday and got all the kit out. After discussing the photos taken over the weekend i went to woodwork and got a lighter shade wood to still give that wood characteristic. Our end result looked a little something like this:
















Final Add with the Design added to it by using photoshop

First Group Meeting

In the group meeting we discussed what we all wanted to do and what are skills were. As a group we decided starting a Print Based company in Leeds which will showcase printed design from students. There were a few name idea's out there but we settled on 'Book Klub' which we all felt was a fun light hearted name and would work well as a company name. The slogan we picked was 'The library of Printed Design' this name worked well with the name.

For our Creative Ad we spoke about idea's for doing a rostrum shot of everyday graphic design equipment then overlaying the logo and slogan on the image. We all set some tasks to go away and do, matt's task was to do the logo, i did some test shots for the rostrum in my room to check any problems which might of cropped up, sophy did research and any idea's of items to put in the shot aswell.

Retail Space


This is a google maps image of a retail space being let on the corner of woodhouse and Bleinheim a perfect location between the University of Leed and the College of art. This is a good location as any students are just a minutes walk away from the shop and its not completely in the city centre so renting space will be a bit cheaper.
