I Newspaper YCN Brief

I Newspaper YCN Brief


For our 5th project at uni, we were given the choice of the YCN and ROSES national competition briefs. I chose the YCN I newspaper brief, where we had to promote the newspaper (not the website) to students and young people. 


The selling points of the paper are that it is offering a concise quality newspaper for just 20p.

New Order to Wim Crouwel

Looking through the Factory Records Graphic Album, 
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Factory-Records-Complete-Graphic-Album/dp/0500286361 


I found this 

 


These are the sleeves for New Order - Substance. Peter Saville designed these using Wim Crouwel's New alphabet

Wim Crouwel never designed this typefact to be readable, but as a need for typefaces to be viewed on early computer screens and  phototypesetting equipment.

I find it very interesting that at the time the style was modern and looking forward to the future but now as styles have moved on its seen as retro-futurism

I also found a great interview with Crouwel here

New Order to Fortunato Depero

While doing research and looking for inspiration for my self initiated brief, i was looking through this book 

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Factory-Records-Complete-Graphic-Album/dp/0500286361 

Factory records the complete graphic album. (its great BTW)

I saw these Cd sleeves for New order procession, I like the clean technological feel and the different colour prints, which is something I consider doing

I read that this was influenced by Fortunato Depero, an Italian from the futurist movement

 

Peter Saville was influenced by Depero's design and made it into his factory records logo ; where he has added work tools associated with the Factory theme

I then went on to look at more work by Fortunato Depero, where I found out he was a painter, stage designer and graphic designer and part of the Italian futurist movement.  The Futurists had a great love of speed, technology, war, and violence. They loved technological triumphs of humanity, like cars, planes, and the industrial town, over nature.

Here's some more of his work

 

I also found it interesting that he did the packaging design for Campari Soda, which is still in use today

These are some tees I've made recently, there just simple ones to get me back into it, I still didn't have a decent way of lining up multiple layers so i didn't want to try anything intricate yet


you don't need to know what this means just that its really funny if you do know . .

I know they creased, but i do not own an iron
