Design Features






having researched, developed and discussed we've settled on a few features that are almost definite for inclusion into the design. I really like the Coat of Arms avenue and am looking to keep the composition of the Leeds Coat of Arms whilst changing the individual components to something more representative of the Surf Club.

Listed are: Ribbon Scroll, Waves, Surfboard, Rising Sun and floral Japanese elements, all of which will hopefully be tangible together to make a final design.

I really really like this guy! These ones in particular.

Some of the softer imagery on the Organik Cotton t's reminds me of this guy who shreds that shit up and did it about a million years before anyone else. There is a film about him, i think it's called 'the godfather'.

Font


The font in one of the t's from Organik Cotton is very similar to something i designed for The Frantic a while back. It is a nice font and i've never printed it properly so it could be nice to use here somehow.

The big chill image you posted is very similar to this guy, who actually did one of their designs. It is very playful and quite endeering however quite contradictory to the 'Organik Cotton' works which are more vector based illustrations. both are valid and suitable but may not work particularly well together.

good blogging son!

It's really interesting to see the two images relevant to Leeds and its history. Adding this element to the design encorperates some semiology and depth to the work. look that 'totally graphic design dude' phrase up if I'm losing you.

I'd like to re-work the coat of arms with some relevant features. perhaps keeping the composition of the piece but completely changing the elemets to something more modern and surfesque could work?

Imagine the Leeds Coat of Arms but instead of Owls you had dudes with masks on, and rather than floral whisps at the top you had some green leaves and branches similar to the 'Organik Cotton' t's.

This is sickkkk aswell
