All righty so where am i at with Anicca . After a few tests i came up with a logo concept that the guys were pretty happy with, and I do too. i really like this logo concept although! it is quite an akward size to fit on things since it's very tall. have a look and see what you think.



After this i was approached by the band to put together some art work concepts, so i imediatly started thiking outside the box, comming up with useless but nice ideas one of them was to incorporate the use of diferent textures and materials, so ideveloped an idea using old brown papper and transparent acetate, looked nice but was a bit to costly,



After this experiment i liked the idea of using papper as the only element that would add colour, eyecatching amd alot! cheaper to print as it is essentially a black and white print on coloured papper. so i came up with some other ideas based on the same design



So After Martin Had a wee look he really liked the "oriental winter" one with the tree, so i did some more work on it and am just wiating for word back on what the rest of the band thought, i hit a wee bit of a problem with it though, theres a band picture in it, and since ive eliminated all white i dont know how the image will turn out but anyyway heres the final art work so far.

So after Finaly! getting a second meating with John he has approved the his new logo art work and preliminary layouts for his website. I added his logo to a business card

So im now begining to put the layout sketches in to photo shop before i split them in to css and html. i need to meet up with him again to discuss the exel documents he wants to be downloadable but he is a busy man, so ill keep this up to date. however here are 2 of the pulmonary photoshop images.Click on there for a bigger view, but disable your popup blockers, usually by holding down ctrl while clicking.




Just stuck those photoshops into html, looks good. Im a wee bit unhappy with the top banner graphics on the contacts page and i dont know if the layout for the contact icons are in the right place, but itl do for now, all i need to do now is get the corect content from Johnny. Oh yeah, i tried a new css technique this time, drew pointed it out before of using background images instead of pictures, lets screen readers skip pointles simages and alt tags. so ill let you know how it works out. oh yeah John McConvilles Prototype website is up here

A good few months have past and I totally for got to publicise the fact that I got two of my t-shirt designs put in to manufacture. The main reason for this was to see how easy it would be to get a design mass produced for any of my band or venue clients. It’s a funny story how it happened, whilst at t-in the park I bumped in to the guys from Ill-fitted. They had a stall that would allow customers to chose a t shirt design and then get them printed off within the hour. I got chatting to the guys about getting my own work printed and there were really helpful. So a couple of week pass and I find there business card in my rucksack (It always takes me a few months to unpack) so I got back in contact with two prototype design and sure enough within a few days the t-shirts were printed; and they looked amazing. The reason I forgot to tell people was because I wanted to test them out first, see how rugged they were as I’ve had t-shirts printed before and thev have simply disintegrated in the washing machine. So I’ve had them since July and they are still in perfect condition. So I would defiantly recommended the guys at www.illfitted.co.uk/ for all your t-shirt prints, they are really nice reliable guys who have really good prices!

So these are the two t-shirt designs I got made and one of me wearing it in Spain. The first is a dedication to Bruce Campbell and is simply called “Evil Dead” while the second is a print of my portfolio logo from my old site.
