Calendar Designs

Here is a calendar i found from the internet. Its bright colours are the first thing you notice. The way they are layed out in rows i feel makes it easier to notice the months as the colour stands out. Also the white colour scheme for the type sits well on the colors chosen as its clear to read. I feel it was a creative to place the '2014' on the side as its out the way but still looks involved well in the design. 

When creating my final design i could add blocks of colour to help it stand out.

Here is a second calendar i found from the internet. I don't really like this calendar. It has dull colour which makes it boring and less appealing to look at. It also has boring text which doesn't stand out also. The two things i do like is the placement of the image. I feel that where its placed gives the image its own little space which makes it noticeable. Another thing i liked about this calendar is the map on the left hand side. I feel it makes the calendar more interesting to look at as you find out something new. 

When creating my final design i could think about placing my image in its own space to make it more noticeable.

Keegan Gibbs

Keengan Gibbs

Keegan Gibbs was born into a family of artists and raised by the sea. He derscribes his photography as a method to express his love of ‘all things salt water.’

Since he graduated film school several years ago, Gibbs has spent a lion’s share of his time surfing, taking photos, and shooting videos. ‘I surf as much as I possibly can,’ he says. His website can be considered a diary as well as a creative portfolio.

Here is a photograph taken by Keegan Gibbs. This photograph has been taken from a distance which makes this shot look more interesting. The angle its taken at is also adds a great effect to the shot. I feel that the photograph being black and white sets a great look and makes it look more calming and detailed.

When taking my photographs i could take some at an angle to give it a different look.

Here is a second photograph taken by Keegan Gibbs. This photograph has also been taken from quite a distance. By doing this he has included the amazing background to the left with all the big buildings which helps this photograph to stand out and look interesting. The lighting in this photograph looks nice, its bright and golden which makes it stand out.

When taking my photographs of signage i could take some from a distance to include interesting objects in the shot.

Here is a third photograph taken by Keegan Gibbs. This photograph has been taken at night which i feel helps bring out the graffiti's colour. It looks bright and gives it an interesting effect. Keegan Gibbs captured the graffiti and also the interesting atmosphere on the left which i feel stands out because of the bright lights which makes this photograph look creative and inspiring.

When taking my photographs of signage i could take them a night instead of daylight to help bring out the colours in the photograph.
