Clever design


There are some images out there which bend the eye a little when you look at them as they don’t seem real. This is one of those images which if you have a quick glance it looks like a snake is wrapped around the bus. Having this moment of now knowing if what you see is real makes the viewer want to look at the image more intense and study the photo or print. 

This is what a designer must do to try and capture the viewers’ attention by making it stand out from design everywhere else.

Emotional Advertising


Emotional Advertising is one of the most used types of Guerrilla marketing alongside the wow factor as this grabs people attention in the wrong way and gives a message straight to their heart and conscience. This picture is about CHARITY and is showing you a sad image of a hunger child in the bottom of a shopping truly begging for food.

I choose to put this in my research as having something placed in a certain area is as important at the design itself.

Location of where you want to place you media is an important factor as you will never advertise a food shop on a food shop.  This has given me a small piece of knowledge on where to place the advertisements will take some thought.

Guerrilla marketing ONE


I am part of the Guerrilla marketing team promoting the I AM exhibition for the final year students of 2012. Guerrilla marketing is a great way to catch an audience’s attention quickly and directly wit well designed media to attract attention. 

Designs such as posters, business cards are a very well-known way of Guerrilla marketing schemes that have been undertaken. I will be looking at different ways in which these methods are out dated and could be revived for the new modern world. 

Trying to capture someone’s attention in a possible small piece of design is a hard thing to do as there are many ways in which something’s like this can be missed or overlooked as a thrown away piece of litter.  The point to Guerrilla marketing is to stand out as much as possible so that the design is noticed and looks very different from normal advertising. 

The posts to follow are all great a different examples on which people have done this to great effect and purpose. There is a point to Guerrilla marketing where you have to grab as many people’s attention with lots of Medias. So printing out five thousand of one item is something that is marketed to us as this can reach  lot of people at one moment. 

I will now be exploring into inventive ways in which media can be presented to an average person walking down the street.

Sociall Media Marketing


Social media marketing is a brand new thing which has exploded over the last seven years with the invention of Facebook. This is one of the biggest social media website ever produced with the amount of people online using it in such a short time.

When uploading images online with friends, you are showing your work to others that has the potential to be re posted onto different websites and seen all over the world. The publicity you have from this can make you a sensation overnight. There are maybe websites out there where showing off your work is what they are designed to do like tumble, Flickr and be-hance. 

They all serve a purpose to showing your work in different ways and Medias, Giving you a professional look with the simplest of skill involved. 

Using social media is basically like showing your work off using an online exhibition space. I have uploaded a few images of mine to social media sites to get opinions on them as other people may have different views on my work compared to myself.

10 slide design tips for producing powerful and effective presentations


Presenting your work in a presentation is another way to show off you works in a well-mannered piece. Creating a well thought out possibly funny way to tell a story about your work could be interpreted as a different way to show your work from the rest. Being unique is one of the best ways to get you to be a well-known designer.

 Controversy is a way to show to others that you are different from other designers and you are someone who can think up different things from other people.

Presenting your work in a power point is a great way to go to clients and show them your work in a neat and designed way. 

Using this information I will either create a website for the final show for myself or present my work in a weird manner but making me unique amongst the rest.
