A book I made

These are a few pages I designed for a project at uni. We had to design and make a book. I made mine the same size as an iPhone and put it in an iPhone case. The idea is to leave the book around on benches or tables so people think that they have found an iPhone. When they look closer, they realise that it is a book called "The Day I Found an iPhone" which is about somebody who has found an iPhone and is trying to find it's owner.

This is my entry for the Roses Student Awards

Since it's past the deadline, I thought I'd share my ideas with you for the Roses brief. The brief I chose was to redesign the £5, £10, £20 & £50 notes. You only had to use the queens face.




In case you can't open the images,

"The handshake has been used as a way to seal the deal for centuries. It is used to show equality, confirm the transfer of goods or just to say hello. It transcends cultures all over the world.

Nowadays, we are so used to making transactions through credit cards that we have lost the personal connection in making a deal. We no longer have to get to know who we are trading with or have any physical contact with them.

The new notes are designed so that in order to use them, you have to get back to being personal in your business deals.
The design encourages bartering, which has never been a part of the reserved english culture.

It takes influence from the culture of the Kurdish farmers in Turkey, in which traders shake hands for the whole period in which the deal is taking place."

"The new system takes its form as a ring which is worn on the right hand. In order to start a transaction, the two parties hold hands as they are about to shake. The two rings begin a Bluetooth connection. The harder the person grips the hand, the more money is set to be transferred between the traders. When the right amount is reached, the two shake hands, this transfers the monetary value between the rings and the transaction is complete."

"The ring changes colour the more or less money is on it.
£5 - Wood
£10 - Bronze
£20 - Silver
£50 - Gold"

"ATM machines have been redesigned as a result, the new design features a prosthetic hand coming out of the wall. The hand can be set to different pressures to withdraw set amounts of money. It also uses fingerprint technology to ensure that identity theft is eliminated."

Work: Image/Strapline

This week at uni, one of the old tutors of our course has returned to give us some hardcore advertising 101. The first project we had, we were given a strapline and an hour to come up with a visual that would "be a D&AD winner." I was given the line "The Sexiest Underwear" for Anne Summer.

Here's what I came up with...



When the hour was up our work was layed on the floor and arranged into either the good, average or shit pile. Dave liked my piece, he put it into the good one.
