Bosh Website


The main body of the brief focuses on the creation of a website, the website like the branding will need portray the concept of social coding. I will be looking for content that reflects the idea of coding or social normality or abnormality.


This is an example of the use of full image on a homepage... something that is important when showcasing a photographers work.. The rest of the above most is representative of a standard grid layout.. something that wont fit for the design identity the photographer is requiring. the slight haze over the homescreen image is a good way of making the type stand out. i would like to incorporate some moving image into the the homepage to increase movement or interactivity. 


Again a good example of using image on full bleed to show case the work.. the thumbnail images running along the bottom is s good way of showcasing the work further. although it could look quite cluttered. 


example of how full image can work better with the use of opacity running along the bottom of the page of thumbnails. the vertical tool bar is also a good way og highlight the image and giving the page a depth of field.

Bosh Branding- Code



This project has its basis in coding and creating and identity.. the concept for his work is based on a social code that needs to be interpreted visually. The identity needs to move away from the standardised image of a photography web/print deliverables.. whilst not jeopardising the photographs integrity. The initial stage of development needs to look at how codes are applied..  through out design.



This is an example of how a typeface can represent and symbol or code.. however it does have a slightly standardised feel to it.. something that the client does not want. 


This is an interesting way of showing a genetic code... however i like the idea of using line and colour to represent the photographers identity.

shapes as codes?



use of type enables and interesting brand image. the letters look changeable something that could be interesting to explore..The idea of the code or type always changing. 





Shapes as codes or images. 



The lines used with in this typeface could be used to break up letter forms.. and create a strong visual identity. 


over lapping colours create a different dimension to shapes.. create a code with in the overlapping colours? 



The cutting of letter forms gives the idea of a broken identity that could applied to the identity of social coding..it moves away from the standard perception of identities. 


Simple lines make a constant visual identity which suggests a sort of code.. morse code. or secret codes?


Where are codes seen? using a standard typeface to obvious? 



numbers and lines.. creating to different meanings,.







The web site above is a good example of how the social norm can be inverted and still not jeopardise legibility. The background being inverted gives a nice visual image, however i am not sure if this could be applied to the current brand.. but the idea of pushing the boundires of design norms is appropriate when creating an identity for social codes or norms.
