Once I had narrowed down my designs to 6, I found it easier to pick one design to go forward with and have as my final. I chose this design because I liked the subtle colour of the fading background and thought it worked well with the layout of the text. I chose this layout because I felt like the key information fit on the design but also I liked how the design consisted of both horizontal and vertical text and by lining everything up at the bottom of the design, everything matched and gave some empty space at the top where the cinema logo is. I didn’t want just a plain white background for the back of this design so I continued with the fading of the background and only included the name of the movie so it wasn’t the same as the front of the ticket.

These were the final 6 designs I narrowed down. These were also the designs others liked when I asked for their help and opinions.

I thought the black background cinema tickets worked particularly well but I was worried with whether the text would be readable when printed.

Here are my rough visuals for the actual cinema ticket design. I had a look at some of the other submissions made for this brief and I tried to make my designs not look similar to the ones already submitted. I quite liked the idea of dividing the ticket into little sections to make the information easier to read and understand.

Once I had drew out my logo ideas on paper I started to experiment with them on Illustrator. I chose three different typefaces to play around with and they were: A day without sun, White elephant and Baskerville. I then played around with different colours to see what would work best but I couldn’t decide so I chose the colour of the logo depending on the cinema ticket design I decided to go with.

Because there wasn’t a logo already made for the cinema ‘Open Air Cinema’ I had to design one. I drew out some simple rough ideas and had a look at some different typefaces.

I like the different colours for these tickets as they represent different types of tickets such as a plane ticket, train ticket and boat ticket. It’s quite interesting having text written both horizontal and vertical and makes the design of the ticket look much more interesting to look at.

Although this is a business card, I quite like how it’s quite simple and I like how the background is black instead of white. I think the way it’s broken up into sections works well on the design and how some of the empty space is coloured (blocked) in.

I looked into cinema tickets but also creative ticket designs because I felt that actual cinema tickets looked quite plain and boring and wanted my design to look more interesting.

I included a pattern inside the reindeer and I did this by redrawing a snowflake illustration and then placing it inside the reindeer and using a clipping mask to make it. I then experimented with different colours but the design that stood out the most to me was using two different shades of red with a white background. I repeated the reindeer on A2 and printed it out and wrapped it around a empty box.

Idea generation for the Urban Outfitter’s sheet zine brief. I knew I wanted to have a repetitive pattern for this brief and the design that stuck out the most was the reindeer. I felt by having baubles, christmas trees and snowmen was the obvious route and others would do that so I chose to go with reindeers.

Here are the final spreads for my magazine. The magazine has also been uploaded onto issuu. http://issuu.com/ashapatell/docs/provoke_-_being_bi-cultural_2 

Here are some screenshots of how I created my magazine and how I put it together.

Yeah yeah, I mean Bhangra has gone across to the United States as well as other countries where there is a network of Asian communities but really it has stayed in Birmingham, it is the birthplace of Bhangra and it’s still it’s home. We have the entire infrastructure, close knit communities, halls, music rooms, gigs and fresh talent. Birmingham is going to be where all the best original hits will come from. Don’t get me wrong though Bhangra is all over the world now, in major countries like America, Canada, India, Pakistan and so on, so there is competition which does now raise the bar which really helps us to make better music, so Birmingham does have completion but its good healthy competition.

 Nowadays, Indian cultural dresses are only needed for weddings and occasions. Most youngsters prefer to wear Western society and branded clothing as this allows them to have the latest fashion and fit in with their friends.
