Session Skateboarding Magazine - Publication Assignment

This was a publication project assigned to me in my third year of graphic design at CPUT. The brief was to select an existing magazine of our own choice, write an article, take our own photographs for the article and do the layout for the cover and four double page spreads. I chose Session Skateboarding Magazine because I grew up skateboarding with many of my closest friends. All of the photographs are of them.

Just playing around with type.

Call Me King - Logo

An unused logo design.

The A Jacobs Family Trust - Logo

I was asked to create a logo that included an elephant family of five to represent the five members of the Jacobs family.

Abderoof Attorney at Law - Corporate Identity

I was asked by the client to create an identity for his law firm. He liked the idea of having a set of scales as the logo, as it's the most recognizable symbol for Law. After some research, it was very clear that the scales symbol was overused in the world of law, so I focused on personalising the logo and incorporated his initials, A.A in the design of the scales.

The client then had a signet ring made with the design of the logo on it.

The Caring Family - Corporate Identity

The Caring Family empowers family carers to take care of themselves and their terminally ill loved ones.

The logo symbolizes care, love and security. The image represents three people. The two above represent support from either side. One being "family" and the other the NPO, both holding the third person with their arms. The person at the bottom represents the terminally ill loved one, who is holding the other two with his/her arms up. Having the arms up symbolizes "hope". All three people are linked together forming a heart to symbolize "love".

Squirrels Leap Play School - Logo & Flyer

The Play School in Cape Town is housed in a 1930's Victorian house with high ceilings and wooden floors. The feel is organic and only wooden toys are used.

Using this information I tried to create a sophisticated and somewhat prestigious looking logo.

Ye Candy Shoppe - Illustration

I did the outline in pencil and then left it for a few months and now finally decided to fill it with colour. My first time doing an illustration using coloured pencils. What do you think?
