Paul Rand’s headstone

Described as the godfather of graphic design – Paul Rand asked the Swiss designer Fred Troller to designed him a headstone that would be different that the normal traditional memorial. The result was these two stone cubes placed on the same axis but at different orientations. The top cube is carved in a serif font with Rand’s name and dates, whilst the base cube is inscribed in Hebrew.


















Jonathan Barnbrook - Dignity

Jonathan Barnbrook was commissioned to brand a funeral directors’ in Tokyo.
The identity consisted of branding marks incorporated into stationary and premises signage.



























Through both of these designs I like the feel that the design is undated. These designes could have stood in a pre-lifetime and I think would stand for the next.

As I am wishing to design something I hope will not be seen for amany years in the future, I would like my final outcome to contain these principals.

I also like the simple use of colour. If I had not seen these designe I may have chosen a similar scheam, but now I have, I am considering white, red and black.

A lot similar to the branding by Barnbrook, I would like to use 3 elements on my designs. To me three represents an number of things: my initial (chosen by me), the siblings I grew up with, the family unit that defined much of my mid life thus far (myself & children), and the stages of life (birth – living - death).

Looking at book prices and formats that I could use for the final presentation.
I feel the format I would like to use is the 30 x 30 inch format. The reason for this is because I may be using a lot of circles in my designs (the cycle of life) and they should contrast well. If I can suitably incorporate a triangle these could reference the Bauhaus movement. I would not intend to incorporate the red, yellow and blue though. The colours I do intend on focusing on are white – birth, red – life and black – death.

Brief – Animation – Animation_v9

A first draft of the way the text logo can enter the frame to interact with the actress. This draft is compiled in After Effects, but I would like the type to be constructed in C4D.

Brief – Animation – Animation_v8

I’ve had been thinking of the different way to make the kinetic type appear on screen. One idea was to have it appear in a fast almost random way.

Now I’ve created it and seen it, I don’t think it suites the rest of the animation so may well stick to the original version.

Original version

This was the original style I entered the type but wanted to change and give the light a more personal attribute.

Version_1

The type appears square on the screen and the previous type is rotated in its position so the new type is read.

Version_2

The type appears square on the screen and the previous type is flashed up in the rotated position.

The weather finally changed for the better and had a change to my plans. As i was fully equipped with both digital and film camera i thought id take a day away from the screen. it's been a while since i used film so thought i'd use black and white iso400 and iso100 colour slide. Revisited the car scrap yard and update my images on this brief.
The following images are taken on a digital camera, the film and slide photographs will be posted when developed.
