THE RED ROBIN
In the small country town called Mollyfont there was a Little Red Robin that resided there, but not a only did he live there he made his presence to all that did as well.
He flew at high speeds threw the streets, ducking and weaving under umbrellas people were using, zooming over the tops of peoples heads but The Red Robins favourite past time is to steal the petals off Jaides prize winning Tulips, He was always to quick to catch.
He spent a lot of time in the park were family’s took there children and dogs to play, he noticed a gentleman with a funny shaped head and what resembled a nest on it, The Red Robin could always do with a new nest he thought so he landed on his head much to thee mans surprise, “ahhhh hahaha, That silly bird must have mistaken you’re your hair for its bird nest”, another young gentleman said.
Although the Red Robin was known for his speed and trickery, He was better known for flying into trees. He was a lonely bird and always wondered why he could never make the right friends. But we all knew it was because he spent his time trying to make friends with Bats that hung upside down under trees.
The Red Robin was all these things and more but the truth to matter is that the small town of mollyfont wouldn’t be the same without him.

SERIAL CUT-
I really really like the work Serialcut do, Its SO nice to look at. I think that they use 3d/2d images and photography to work really well together and i especially like there wild approach to color. I think they have a radical way at doing this but they pull it off so well because its looks so good. There's nothing conventional about this type of work but i think anyone could find it appealing to look at. The thing i love most about nit all is how good it looks when they use 3d type in real life scenario



Critique Report
Assignment: Logos, group work and report
In this assignment we had a number of businesses to choose and i decided to go with a private airline. I thought this type of business would favor my style of design rather than others like hair and beauty, public gym church and so on. I researched bold names of all types of companies, such as car makes, Men’s cologne, and even the dictionary to see what words i found esthetically pleasing. I came up with the name Boss Airlines. I wanted my company to have a classy feel, a airline that celebrities and wealthy people would use.
I came up with a few ideas and colors that I thought worked well together and a really strong logo. When it came to critique time I was told by my peers that i have a strong idea and it look good although i wasn’t being consistent in my process throughout my design. I was told that i did have a very strong effective logo but I didn’t use the same logo threw all my formats. This was very clear when i looked at my designs.
The second idea my peers had to say was that i needed to fix my type, i had used the same type in all of my work and we have been taught that its more effective to a strong font for your leading for my leading type and to use a completely different font for the secondary type faces.
My main concern with my work was that I wasn’t being consistent, and this was a crucial element i needed to rectify. I did have really good ideas for all different parts of my work but they weren’t put together so that they worked well together. So I decided to go threw all my work and write don’t the things I could get rid of and the things that should stay and simplify them so that all the pieces had all the same elements and were relatives. I also decided to study more airlines and what they used and this gave me many more ideas and concepts to use. Hopefully the end result will tell the truth that it has worked.
