Cube alphabet

2011-11-23T20:05:00.004+01:00

Based on the grid of an isometric cube outline, I created this alphabet design with the intention to use it for paper cuts as it's grid structure makes it simple to cut by hand.

Inspiration taken form the typeface 'Sol' by Radim Peško, seen at the 'Design Blast' conference at the ZMK, Karlsruhe (18.11.2011), and also from the 'Triso Typeface' by Ric Bell. I drew from these sources what I felt was most logical, important and appealing in the shape formations.

Ten years of travel from England

2010-10-22T22:02:00.000+02:00

A diagram documenting my travels abroad over the last ten years (the life of my passport). It shows the patterns I was interested in seeing, such as most visited countries and peek times of year. However, a flaw with the design is that a week in 2010 looks a lot longer than a week in 2000, so it's not an entirely fair representation.

Website redesign: www.charlottevogel.com

2010-08-18T23:54:00.000+02:00

I was bored with my first website design. The novelty of kitsch cup-cakes wore off, and the pointlessness of it was grating on me:

I aimed for something more styalised and with a subtle quirk to it. The general layout is simplistic on first view. I am hoping the animated refresh symbol is inviting people to click on this button (I am waiting for feedback on this). On reloading the page a different background is chosen at random from a selection. This feature was also present on my last design, but was used to little effect. This time, the design supports the array of variation created by each background design, and it's main interest (aside from content) relies on this feature being 'found'.

Youth group community discussion intro sequence

2010-08-13T19:10:00.000+02:00

In August 2010 I put together a short intro sequence for a local youth community project. They made four documentaries covering issues concerning them in their village of Holt, Norfolk. The discussion was filmed in Epic Studios, Norwich, and produced as a DVD. Illustrations and footage provided by the youth group.

ICAO Spelling Alphabet

2010-08-03T10:58:00.000+02:00

The alphabet is complete, but not yet finished. There is a lack of consistency – I made some illustrations far too detailed. My next stage it to refine the style.

ICAO Spelling Alphabet

2010-07-30T15:49:00.000+02:00

I have almost completed my illustrated ICAO Spelling Alphabet. Bits still need tweaking, but it's well on it's way to completion.

Ideas for uses of this piece as a poster could be in an aviation training centre, aviation museum display, gift shop souvenir…

ICAO Spelling Alphabet

2010-07-22T18:12:00.000+02:00

I recently started a personal project where my brief is to illustrate the International Civil Aviation Organisation spelling alphabet. The illustrations must be clean, of a consistent graphic style and most importantly; recognisable. This has thrown up many problems, for example people or place names… but this is all part of the challenge.

Cute animals

2010-07-20T20:17:00.000+02:00
