Type In Motion

Allan Design- Integrated Marketing Agency


























I searched for Graphic Design agencies in the local area to see what was on my doorstep, i would like to work with companies that have a larger range of bigger clientel so I can be more creative with my work. But i think companies like these would be good for work experience to see how they work and where they fit into the design world.

Location

My ideal location for work would be in the local area Leeds, Sheffield, Manchester, Huddersfield, York. I'm very happy with my life at the moment and i know that if i moved too far away for a job i wouldn't enjoy it.. but at the same time i don't want to hold back from working somewhere i would love because of my relationships. I need to make sure i balance the two as for me my work and social life feed each other.



For work experience I want to try different companies around the UK to give me an idea of the differences in companies and where i can find the work i want to do.

Rationale 3 FINAL

I've been thinking about this ALLLL wrong, well kind of ...its not about re-creating the totally same experience, why would you want to do that!?! thats what gigs are all about to experience something there that you can't at home. It's not about laser beams flying around people's rooms at home while people sing along in strange costumes i want it to be a much more personal connection. Items that are more organic and i guess 'spiritual' in a way, items that will suit there're type of music but obviously have strong connections with they're identity and will allow a stronger engagement with the music... items that are there to add to the beauty of the sound not draw the attention away from the music.

Good is ...engaging with music at home.

Why?

1. Music Visuals

2. Elements of the performance, all senses.

3. The individual personal experience

4. Sharing an experience

5. The science behind creating a mood/ emotion

I intend to promote the idea of engaging with music at home through the use of a limited edition pack sent out from the band to the fans so they can be part of the experience.


This will be sent out to the fans using information of those signed up to the Fever Ray online mailing list.

As Fever Ray nears an end i will create a one off, limited edition pack that will be sent out to her fans to say thanks for supporting her throughout her solo project and will enable them to keep engaging with the music, it is a very personal promotional product to send. 

In order to achieve this i will produce a pack that is sent out to her fans on the mailing list, the pack will include 3-5 items that connect to the visual elements of Fever Ray looking mainly at the live show and her artwork. As well as a booklet including photography and a personal message from Fever Ray.

The main design elements of this are the limited edition pack (packaging), the items inside (creating a theme that runs through all of them)

This will be produced using high quality processes such as die cutting, silver blocking and rich stocks as it will be a high budget one off piece and will be kept as a limited edition/ special item/ collectors item. Because i will be printing onto thicker stocks, possibly fabrics or items i will be using screen printing as my process of printing.
