CV & LETTER

Here are my current CV and Letter designs. I've tried to be consistent with them both, so they look more like a package. Let me know what you think.

W A R K I L L S

This is a development of my last blog. I have simplified it dramatically and i hope the image is strong enough as it is.

Feedback please

'ABUSED' Child Abuse Poster

Hey gang... this is my poster for child abuse. I'm thinking does this poster convey the message of 'ABUSE'... Would appreciate comments where possible.

Many Thanks, Rocky x

final version of my drug poster.
I'm not sure about the position of the message !!! How does it look if i put it on the right bottom side? plss help :D leave me comments..

Police Brutality

My final. I decided that less was more so i only used the hand and the glob. The small paragraph sais that: "Police officers are subject to the same crowd psychology as any other group of armed men and women when in large confrontational groups, and in the grip of fear, anger, or other strong emotion, in encounters whose outcome is uncertain. However, their duty is to enforce the law and PREVENT VIOLENT CONFLICT. They are also provided with deadly weapons, and so have a special responsibility to keep their fear, anger, and similar emotions under control."

Final piece.

Finally i finished.i can have a lovely sleep tonight,wish you guys too.

Human Rights

Cant decide on the type, or does it need type??

Shopping addiction

For most people, it means some new clothes and accessories or a gift to your girlfriend. For others something else, however, shopping is much more than an enjoyable amusement, and in some cases, it is a real and destructive addiction (mentally disease), that can turn into a financial disaster, for you or your family.
In my poster design I visualize an eye that is stare a heroin needle, to show that shopping has crossed the line and become an addiction that need special treatment.

ENERGYFLO

If anyone is doing the Energyflo logo brief, I'd advise you to take a look at the blog Matt Hollies set up for it - simply so we can interact with each other's ideas from there.

If you haven't been invited and you want to, ask Matt.

Please put comments forward on the work, and your own stuff up. Thanks.

Arms Poster Revised

Changed the image in co-ordinance with Jeff's criticisms. The quote is still subject to change. 

Blue future/ update

Quick Update, tried to play more on the melting of the snowcaps, by showing a puddle forming under the planet.

Still not sure whether it needs any text though so any advice on that would be great

Thanks

Human Rights

I have added the coat to show more life that was there before the law came into place. Not sure how realistic it looks though, any suggestions?

no to drugs2

no 2 drugs

Human Rights

This is what I currently have for my Poster, its to represent freedom of torture. I have included the use of a chair, wrapped in barbed wire. The chair is used to symbolize every cultures right. Before human rights was leagalised, only white people were allowed to sit on buses but now everyone has an equal right. The use of the barbed wire wrapped around the chair is to show freedom as its wrapped around an object rather than a person. Will be adding a title aswell

HOAX IMPACT - new poster

Hey. The previous poster (Game thing) was a bit too complex and I wanted to change it. Here is the new poster and I know it's not perfect as I need to re-do the text on the mobile phone screen, but what do you think of this poster? Please comment. 

Blue Planet/Update

Following on from my last design I decided to emphasise the melting of the snowcaps by showing the planet literally melting away.
I also wanted to add a 'heat source' to the backdrop which would represent the heating of the planet.

Do you think text is actually required and which background from these 3 do you prefer?

Thanks

War

New topic, layout and approach. Any composition suggestions welcome

Human right poster

Child Abuse

Update on my poster about child abuse. I have done a lot of changes and would appreciate some thoughts. Thanks!

Final???

War and Vanity (second attempt)

The idea is to show that there is no symmetry in war and how would we feel if we were scared by by war. This particular person in the photo (my rat brother) is screwing up his face, ripping away his vanity to make himself symmetrical to a country with a lose of vanity.

Poster strap line: WAR, Vanity without a sense of symmetry

War breaks Families

Idea i had about how War has an effect on all families. Soldiers', victims, or damage to home.....all get affected somehow.  

Feed back would be great as i have a few versions so easy to modify.

colours aren't correct either....not sure why if anyone can help  :-)

Another Idea (Money Tree)

This is another idea for my Money Tree.

Think it works well with the separation of colour and B&W.

Once again the colour turned funny through uploading.

Governments Tree is full of money where as the Citizens Tree is empty, reflecting on how the government take a lot of peoples money.

Once again I have used Monopoly money due to the fact its stating that money to them is just a game.

I still like my original strapline but dont know whether it would work in this piece!?

feedback please

or maybe like this

human right poster

think before you act when you put your information out there, we don´t know who's controlling us and why..

maybe like this?

Hello people,
em I decided to push
this one a bit further
as well after talking to Jeff. I could use some
serious and critical comments
as it has to be done until wednesday
thx!

one bullet, one life [decisions decisions]

ok retouched my design again, altered the blood splat a little. Just messing with the type now. Couple of decisions to make; colour- red or a light grey?? typeface- serif one on my latest designs or play it safe with helvetica?

Let me know what you guys think :)

Wayde's wildcard xD

Hey hey guys Just a lil something I started doing the other day. I quite like it, but feel its a little to playful and not serious enough in its present state.

Its a work in progress but Im Interested in what people think of it.

All comments welcome :)

Which one to go with? :s

First of all I apologise for the links
and for the quality. I have no reason with the quality has deteriorated this much
My face is hardly visible, but I thought id get it up here for comments on the cropping
and whether the choice to remove was the text was justified.

Domestic Violence - which one 2 go 4?

[[iPain]] & [[hidden scars]]

The link with the heart is to show that domestic violence not only has a physical effect that we are always shown but also an emotional effect that is often not visible!

Any comments appreciated!

Thank you'z ;o]>

I have changed the animation image on the TV to make it look more understanding. You can see the fireman is facing at the hoax caller and he looks confused where the real fire in the building is at the back. He missed the chance to save their lives. I have changed the mobile phone into a colour mode to connect with the TV. 

Please comment. :)

recycling update V5

Hi, ive updated and improved my poster again. i think the simple outline is enough, and crushed cans building up colour would be to much for it, unsure. see what u think? x

homeless final UPDATED
