“LIVE JOBS WERE THE BANE OF MY LIFE, BUT I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF KNOWLEDGE I LEARNT.”

“MY LIFE IS DESIGN.”

As part of the work-based learning whilst studying on

Foundation Degree Graphic Design, I had to work with a

number of clients. These projects were known to students as

LIVE JOBS. The jobs gave me knowledge for the industry and

the different range of clients gave me a varied experience in

how to handle dificult situations in the future. There will be design jobs that I might ind tedious or pointless, But design is hard as a whole. Each job I had to creative something

completely different, Which made some of the work easier

to design. Here’s some of my best LIVE JOB journeys so far.

CHARLOTTEDAISY SMITH

Charlotte Daisy Smith, Creator of Daring Daisy has one

mission in life; Being UNIQUE. She’s far from the typical

young woman of today’s society. Born and raised in

High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, UK she found a love of

Photography and studied at Amersham & Wycombe College.

A deeper more recent ambition is FASHION, but with a twist.

She quotes “Ever had one of those awkward moments where

you walk into a crowded room and someone is wearing the

same outit? Companies are selling unique designs only for them to be in every high street shop a few weeks later.

Daring Daisy offers customers a one-off piece, You won’t ind it anywhere else.” Well said Charlotte! She makes a good

point, more people need to be willing to express themselves

without being forced to wear something that has been

approved by the Celebrity world. With that said we hope

the recent Logo design we put together for Daring Daisy

will accomplish all that is needed to be the UNIQUE fashion

brand Charlotte hopes it to become. - Escape Magazine.

CHARLOTTE DAISY SMITH: DARING DAISY

DARING DAISY: LOGO DESIGN

My influence for making the Daring Daisy Logo was

finding out what particular interests the client had.

She has an obsession with skulls and her middle name

is Daisy. As Daring Daisy is a fashion enterprise, the

logo will then be used on many of the fashion items.

Ashridge Automobiles is a company that specializes in repairing Pre War

Riley Sports Cars. The client was looking to revamp his current logo.

The client wanted a much more simpliied logo that would give his company the corporate identity it has always needed. I initially

researched what a Riley Sports Car looked like and worked on a

logo from there. I found it was too complicated to make a car

into a logo that could be used on many media platforms.

I’ve always found simple shapes make the best logo

designs. I started with triangles and developed

ideas from that. After I got a shape I thought

was working, I used a colour speciication to understand the colours of pre war times. Red

means POWER. The client loved this idea

and I developed the logo into a corporate

identity that works and is SIMPLE.

9


The logo is made up of three parts, each made

originally from a triangle. The RED triangular

shape is the base for the company’s corporate

identity. Red being the basis for POWER.

The BLACK makes up two parts of the logo, These parts

I call the shell of the logo, It keeps it all together as one.

Black is also another colour used to express POWER.

PAM FOLEY

ROUTES OF SORROWGRIEVING WITHOUT FINALITY

11

PAM FOLEY is an American Sculptor from New England. With

30 years of experience under her belt, She is now based

in Oxfordshire, England. Working from a studio in Banbury

she creates sculptures that refl ect emotional thoughts and all of life’s other struggles. For the brochure design, the

theme was “Grieving Without Finality” she wanted to show

her work in a brochure for her exhibition but not show “Too

much” that discourages people to view her show as a whole.

As a designer I tried to know as much as possible about

what she wanted but still be detached enough to design

something that I felt would capture the emotion of her topic.

From the photographs she supplied I managed to create a

totally different feel to them. I zoomed in on a particular area

of the photo e.g. I really liked the texture of the rose in the

eye of the mask and I wanted to make just an image from

that piece. Without giving too much of Pam’s exhibition away.

In so many words, to get the effects on the photographs I

experimented with exposure and saturation in Photoshop.

I used colours that I would also relate the to Pam’s topic.

The MP’s of Milton Keynes, Mark Lancaster & Iain Stewart

organized a Jobs Fair for young people and getting them

interested in going to work. One sunny January day, a

large number of people turnt up for the Fair at The

Buszy in Milton Keynes. These people got to speak to

current businesses working in and around the MK area.

But how were the MP’s supposed to encourage people

to go to the fair? This is where I came in. The MP’s asked for a poster design that would inspire the

young people to be remotely interested in i nding a career pathway and making a future to be proud of.

I focused on what I would look for in a poster if I were

to go to the Jobs Fair. What does “Jobs Fair” mean to me

visually? I worked with the multiple circles to create a simple balloon shape with plenty of colour to gain

an “Wandering Imagination of Possibilities”. It worked

because the young people chose my design out of

everyone else’s designs. I inspired many people to go

out and i nd their future. The possibilities are endless with a little encouragement through the use of design.

College and University. These people have really inspired

some of my own work and I’ve learn some skills from

them along the way. They all have strengths in a range

of disciplines including, Illustration, Advertising &

Design, Typography and Photography. All of the people

featured are self taught in their particular i eld and have either studied at College or University. With the state of

unemployment and recession it’s been a tough ride for

some of them but I tell them to never give up. So guys, This

BEN MILLARD ILLUSTRATIONBEN MILLARD is a self taught illustrator

from Milton Keynes, UK. He previously

studied I.T at Milton Keynes College learning

basic HTML coding and had no training

whatsoever in the Arts. Upon meeting and

studying with Ben on the Foundation Degree

Graphic Design Course, He learnt how to use

Illustrator, Photoshop & InDesign and then

in his spare time he would also watch You

Tube tutorials on how to use certain tools in

these programmes. Ben is also VERY skilled in

Corel Painter, armed with his Wacom Graphics

Tablet he is not a man to be messed with! I was

lucky enough to meet Ben on the FDA Course

and we formed a close friendship, inspired

each other and I got to know the incredible

designer that Ben is today. - Escape Magazine

18 ESCAPE MAGAZINE

BEN MILLARD - ILLUSTRATION

EM: Hello Ben, How are you?

BM: All good thank you.

EM: How did you become interested in Illustration?

BM: I’ve always had a natural love for drawing and I

studied I.T and Specialist Networking at college. I was

interested in making animation with Adobe Flash but

preferred making the actual characters by hand.

EM: Where do ind inspiration when your making characters?

BM: I watch a lot of science/nature documentaries and

interact with what I’ve watched and creative a concept

from that. Depending on what I’ve watched will then

form the style.

EM: What is your favourite software to use and how

did you perfect using it?

BM: I use Illustrator and Corel Painter 12, But my

favourite is Illustrator. The possibilities of Illustrator

are endless, vector based graphics and creating artwork

from simple shapes and colours, whereas in Corel

Painter you are limited to making your illustration look

anything more than a painting. If I have something I

want to make I just watch tutorials on You Tube.

19

EM: Illustrator is the best tool. Agreed. After you have

inished studying where would you like to be? Dream BIG. No dream is too big.

BM: I’d like to work in a design agency working on

branding and layout and also freelance as an Illustrator.

I think that could be quite cool.

EM: Obviously you believe you have a unique style,

do you want to inspire anyone in particular?

BM: I’d like to inspire general people to steer away

from using Photoshop and get into a routine of using

a pencil and then maybe taking some skills from

Illustrator and working on your artwork that way.

EM: To inish are you glad you decided to take a creative career path?

BM: I can’t imagine studying I.T and Specialist

Networking at University level, It was so mind

numbingly boring and uninspiring, I have more chance

of inding a job after education in Graphic Design.

Ben will be showcasing his Final Major Project at UCMK in Milton Keynes on the 12th June 2013.

Graphic artist, print-maker and designer Anthony Burrill is known for

his persuasive, up-beat style of communication. His work is held in the

permanent collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London,

the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, New York and has been

exhibited in galleries around the world including The Barbican,

The Walker Art Centre and The Graphic Design Museum, Breda.

In 2012, he made his i rst foray into curating with the exhibition Made in L.A. - Work by Colby Poster Printing, at KK Outlet in London.

22 ESCAPE MAGAZINE

Anthony Burrill is one of my favourite designers, I found

him in a book a few years ago and from then on I’ve

been inspired by his witty artwork. It’s not supposed

to be beautiful or have a deep meaning, I just know

when I look at his work, that it’s real that someone

other than me has feelings and expressed them.

HANNAH WICKS-CHALK

P H O T O G R A P H Y

Hannah Wicks-Chalk is a 21 year old Photographer

from Milton Keynes, UK. Whilst living in a hostel she

studied on the BTEC National Diploma Art & Design at

Milton Keynes College and specialised in Photography.

Whatever she snaps she brings to life with or without

the use of Photoshop. I only met Hannah when

we crossed paths at our End of Year Show in 2011

at Middleton Hall, Milton Keynes. Whilst admiring

her work and her natural love of Black & White

photography I saw a spark in her that I’d never seen

in anyone else before. Intrigued by this mysterious

woman, I suggested we do a photo shoot so that I

could learn and understand her views on photography.

25

EM: Firstly, Hello! It’s been awhile hasn’t it?

HWC: Too long! You should’ve interviewed me two

years ago. I love how there’s only you running this

magazine, You should be proud of yourself Laurrypie!

EM: Yes, Well Escape wasn’t something I thought

would happen and neither was having an awesome

alter ego called Laurrypie.

HWC: Life is like a series of fortunate events,

sometimes it’s just fate. We met by fate

.

EM: Aww. Thanks! That’s sweet! Do you use the

same way of thinking when you’re out taking snaps?

HWC: Of course! I never delete a photograph if I

believe I can use it in some way, every photo I take

is unique. Sometimes I forget to adjust the zoom and

get something completely different

.

EM: So you don’t believe in perfection?

HWC: Deine perfection? Using Photoshop isn’t perfection, If you take pictures just to edit them in

Photoshop then I suggest you put down the camera.

26 ESCAPE MAGAZINE

EM: I see. You obviously ind a greater pleasure in natural living things?

HWC: I take my camera everywhere, So I ind pleasure in wherever life takes me. I could be on my break at

work or on a day off. One of my favourite photographs

was one I took of my best friend, Ava. She’s so

naturally beautiful.

EM: I agree. Do you think living in the hostel made

you interact with photography better?

HWC: Obviously you know, I had some really tough

times back then and my photography helped me

realize life has it’s ways of working out in the end.

EM: Well, It sure has worked out for you now.

HWC: I know, I have my own fridge! That was my

biggest dream. Nothing do with photography.

EM: Well, They do say the smallest things are

the ones that matter.

HWC: You still owe me some plates, as you smashed

like six of them!

EM: Whoopsie! I’ll make some special edition Escape

Magazine ones for you.

HWC: Complete fan girl moment right now.

Secret 7’’ combines music and art for a good cause. What

we do is take seven tracks from seven of the best-known

bands and artists around. We press each of those tracks 100

times to vinyl then get creatives from around the world to

interpret artwork in their own style for of one of the 7 tracks

resulting in a one-of-a-kind sleeve for every single one. We

exhibit these for a week, then on Record Store Day (April

20) you can get your hands on one, or more, for £40 a piece.

All money raised from the selling of the artwork will

be donated to helping charity ART AGAINST KNIVES.

Making ART AGAINST KNIVES our charity of choice this

year was an easy decision. On top of the money and

awareness we generate this year, we will ensure that

every aspect of the project provides an opportunity for

the young people that they work with. From helping

with design, through to installing the exhibition and

making video content like the one you see here, we will

provide valuable experience in a variety of creative roles.

I come across the Secret 7”s creative invite on the design

platform Talent house. From the seven artists I chose to design

for Public Enemy and their song “Harder Than You Think”

which featured heavily on the 2012 Paralympics on Channel4.

The concept for my sleeve design was a puzzle, A puzzle is

harder than you think to complete. This competition was

open to designers all over the world and I was one of 700 to

be chosen. It’s been such an interesting brief to be involved

in,and more importantly it’s for an amazing charity helping

young people ind a career in a creative ield instead of being forced into the growing culture of knife crime.

FINAL MAJOR PROJECT - THE MAKING OF ESCAPE MAGAZINE

37

Proj3ct Uni consists of some of my favourite design briefs from the 3 years of Graphic Design I have studied. All of the projects have their own personal journey. Some of the work has a deeper meaning to mean but you as a viewer may see other meanings behind my work. In the early days of design I was hugely infl uenced by Bauhaus, which is one of my favourite styles along with Dada & Surrealism. I don’t believe everything should have a meaning, But sometimes it raises the question of “WHAT IS THE POINT?” As long as it makes me feel good, I don’t care what it means to other people.

38 ESCAPE MAGAZINE

THE BIG ISSUE

The Big Issue offers some of the most excluded

people in the country a unique opening to take

some control of their lives and earn a legitimate

income. Vendors make a personal choice to

buy their magazines with their own money,

taking charge of their i nances and sales whilst developing the skills required to retail to the

public. Vendors buy the Big Issue magazine

for 50% of the cover price. The magazines

are not free and we do not operate a sale or

return policy. We believe in the merits of work

and do all we can to support vendors as they

move their own ‘micro-businesses’ forward.

39

This is all there is

between you and death.

Profits from the sales of our magazine go towards helping homeless people help themselves.

During the winter the numbers of British homeless people sleeping rough ,outside in the

elements, rose to levels not seen since the 1980s. Hypothermia is a dangerously low body

temperature. Warning signs are confusion, slurred speech, drowsiness and memory loss.

Two successive severe winters combined with unprecedented economic strife means

our business has never been more relevant to the well being of homeless people.

INNOVATIVE ADVERTISINGAdvertising doesn’t need to be complicated, It just

needs to be good. Whatever the advertisement is for,

it needs to have a target audience and also appeal to

that particular audience. I often sit at home watching

the ad breaks and think to myself “That advert is really

stupid and pointless...” But I can assure you that I

probably went and bought whatever it was advertising

because it made me remember it. The same goes for

adverts that aren’t selling a product, But asking for

the audiences help. Most charity adverts on Television

are for Poverty in Africa, Cancer Research and NSPCC.

I felt that there was a gap in the market for The

Big Issue. With the recession in full swing, there

are a growing amount of homeless people and it

will only get worse if we don’t help the people who

need it. This advertising brief wasn’t about making

people feel good, It was about making more people

think before they walk into their local shop to buy

something they don’t need and not spare a few

pounds for The Big Issue man or woman wrapped up

in a sheet. You never know what is around the corner,

It could be you or your family in the same position.

So next time, Do a good deed and feel good about

yourself because you’ve helped someone in need.

USING LAYOUT &COMPOSITION

Art Festival was a mock project in the irst year of my Foundation Degree in Graphic Design. It was a two week long

brief that was to get us as designers thinking in new ways

and exploring layout and composition. I decided to relate the

theme of “Art Festival” to a well known artistic style which

was Bauhaus. I have always been a fan of colour and shape

and Bauhaus are just one of those styles that I relate to. This

project and others since then have made me realize that “Less

is More” and that is now something I live by as a designer.

Layout on it’s own is an art form, not everyone will

understand it or get it completely right. Depending on your

style of work, nothing is ever truly “Right”. As long as it

makes people have an opinion, It means you’re doing it right.

Life is a journey was a project that was set by a

lecturer while I was studying on the ABC Foundation.

Whilst the rest of the students were creating their own

brand of drink, I was set a personal project where I

had to make my life as it was in 2011 into something

typographic. I used the idea of travelling as a basic

concept. Then I studied the Underground Tube Maps

for routes that already looked like letters of the

Alphabet. I tweaked some of them to it my needs. Brighton is my favourite place to “Escape” to when

I need some space to think. The rest of the places

were just parts of the tube maps, then I added some

appropriate words for my journey. Who knew that one

day Escape Magazine would be born from this artwork.

JEFF DEPNER:

Jeff Depner was one of the featured artists in the

March/April 2012 issue, his work with abstract

geometric shaped really caught my eye. He works

in the Fine Art ield but I felt his work could be related to design. I had already done my triangle

logo design, But Depner’s work really deined my initial concept.

DEVELOPING THE LOGO

Developing a unique logo took some time and came

with more tweaks than I had initially expected. I had

this idea of making a typeface wholly from shapes

because I’m literally obsessed with Shape and Form.

I suppose the infl uence for this was Bauhaus, they used geometric shapes constantly in their work.

I started my logo by drawing out shapes that looked

like letters of the alphabet. From my sketches I took my

design to Illustrator and developed the shapes further.

I chose to use two colours in the on screen design to

make it stand out a bit more. My choice in the two

colours has always baffl ed me, the only explanationis that I think blue and orange compliment each

other amazingly well in my design as a whole.

DEVELOPING THE LOGO

Making the logo took longer overall to design than the

whole magazine itself. A logo and a brand is something

you can’t take too lightly because if it’s a bad branding

the company could fail. Here’s some rough drawings on

how I changed certain parts of the logo, I only realized

these parts needed to be changed after my test print.

It’s always good to do an test print so you know how

things might look on other materials so always set

aside some funds to do real test prints and do your

research on the printer you decide to use. The shaded

parts of my rough drawings show where the i nal changes were made. It’s not a decision I took lightly. I

felt the “S” previously had to many shapes to form it so

I had to cut it down to two shapes. The “C” caused so

must uproar, I had no choice in changing it slightly. It

still gets some criticism, but to be honest, legibility is

overrated when you think about breaking the rules and

realizing not one single person can read grafi ti these days. I see it as I’m testing the viewer, they are going

to be more interested if it’s not so obvious to them.

LOGO TO FRONT COVER

Upon i nishing the changes to the logo and making about 50 coloured swatches, I felt that the logo

needed to be enhanced and maybe showcased in

a more creative way. Talking about ideas with Ben

Millard & Dan Vine, I came up with the concept of

making a light stencil in reference to the Batman

spotlight. Firstly I cut out a stencil from the logo

I had designed, I then stuck it to a box so that

it could support it whilst I was shining the light

through the stencil. The tricky part was shining

the light through with a desired effect and also

take a picture at the same time. I don’t know how

I managed to do it with only one pair of hands,

But I did and the end results were very satisfying.

THE LUCKY ESCAPE

The Lucky Escape is a published photo book I put together using some of my favourite snaps of my experimental light photography. I got the idea after laying some of the photographs out in my project folder, it didn’t look pleasing to me. I went onto Blurb and found a nice template for a book. I then turnt The Lucky Escape into a “How To Do” manual so that you could learn the simple technique I used to make the front cover of this magazine. It’s available to buy from Blurb’s online book store.
