ffresh 10 Design Competition entry by Joe Stark

Here’s the final entry for the ffresh 10 Design Competition by University of Glamorgan student Joe Stark. Vote for your favourite design on the ffresh Facebook page. The winner will receive £250 as well as having their design as the official artwork for ffresh 2013!

Here’s what Joe has to say about his entry:

During this design process I really wanted to incorporate an element of movement within the artwork. I wanted to give the viewer an idea of what Ffresh is about and also to engage them with an interesting and unique design. I achieved the movement element by taking some long exposure shots of city lights and cropping out interesting hexagonal sections.

The idea behind using hexagonal shapes first came to me when researching into Glyndwr University itself. In recent years, the university has been involved in the production of hexagonal mirror segments for the worlds biggest telescope. As Ffresh changes venue each year I felt it was important to have some kind of link to the venue within the artwork, and this interesting fact was a way to do it.

I went with a popular current theme of geometric shapes and tables to give the piece more depth and diversity, hoping to appeal to a student audience. The bold white title and information stand out well from the background and is a clear indication of when and where the event is being held.

ffresh 10 Design Competition entry by Gemma Smart

Here’s the latest entry from 3rd year Glamorgan University student Gemma Smart. Voting for the competition will open on Monday, December 3rd.

Here’s what Gemma has to say about her entry:

The idea for this poster came from when me and my flatmates where playing around with the exposure and shutter speed settings on one of their new camera’s and we where experimenting with the different patterns and images that we could make using different lights. The whole process was fantastic fun and I feel that the images really show this, and captures how we feel about design, motion, film and animation, it should be exciting, fun and experimental.

ffresh 10 Design Competition entry by Jamie Pearce

Submissions for ffresh 10 Design Competition close next Friday (Nov 23rd). Here’s the 1st entry from Jamie Pearce. All entries will be uploaded to the Tumblr site once they’re received and public voting for your favourite entry will open on Monday, Nov 26th and close on Monday, December 3rd.

Here’s what Jamie has to say about his entry:

There were 3 elements of ffresh I wanted to capture: that it’s celebrating its 10th anniversary; that it’s a fun event; and simply that it’s a festival.

I achieved this by making the backdrop out of a series of images taken in a children’s playground. The colour light orbs, which were taken in a separate studio appeal to the student target audience who can relate to the nightclub inspired colours, they also hold a sense of mystery about them, which hints at a sense of discovery. Finally, I wanted the festival message to be brought across, so I tried to achieve this through the type, some of which has a sense of grunge, which relates to a camping or organic background.
