FMP - SAM goody bag

When I first had a meeting at SAM they gave me a load of their current and old advertising - Posters, flyers, leaflets, stickers, business cards, and even gig tickets of gigs they helped promote for awareness in return.



I thought I'd photograph and post a few. They do the job, however there are other jobs I have been asked to do for the company. These examples clearly show that the company tends to use templates to place different type, information and images onto. They want new templates, for different purposes and perhaps the same purposes aswell.

Their logo is strong and won't need changing in my opinion. Playing around with the existing logo could be interesting however, even if this simply means layering or integrating other images in and around it for the purpose of a themed template or poster for example, or even changing the colours. The first thing I thought of with this in mind, was the Design Museum logo, and also a mail order skateboard magazine 'rollersnakes' I get sent monthly with a simple yet interesting nice touch to the envelope it is sent in.

I am still finishing off my Business report for Anne, but I have started sketching and idea developing in my own time for template and poster ideas and composition layouts, aswell as collecting relevant images of interest.

SAM have already thought of a more pressing job that they would like me to work on - They have a member of 'The Stranglers' participating in workshops, and they need some posters for it. The next meeting will give me an idea of what they require and I will get to work on them straight away - they are offering me free vocal lessons for the posters aswell as work that will go into the FMP, and the vocal lessons will, as we have both agreed, give me a more personal insight to the company and allow me to experience first hand what they offer.
