AS current work

AS graphics are in the processes of designing posters to launch the ASFC recording lable , inviting students to upload tracks for a compilation album. Based on the work of 'joiners' the posters reflect diverse genres of music and have tested the students' knowledge of typography and composition.  The image shown is James Plant's sketches and digital work.

A2 students : please continue to think about your brief and way forward.  Begin to research existing products / relevant images for the brief as the 2nd wave of research.
