Fergus the Friendly Fellow

Fergus was a friendly fellow with bright orange fur and a big smile on his face.

He lived in the middle of a jungle in a far away land where there were lots of trees, flowers, frogs and birds.

But Fergus was lonely in the far away jungle.

The frogs and the birds were all scared of his big feet and wild fur, so they would run away from him.

Fergus really wanted somebody that was friendly just like him.

He wanted somebody who had a big smile on their face just like him and somebody who wouldn’t run away from him.

One day Fergus decided to go on an adventure to find a friend.

Down by the pond there was not one, but two monsters, and they both had big smiles on their faces and looked friendly just like Fergus.

Their names were Tolbert and Gog.

When Fergus asked them if they would like to be his friends, they both jumped for joy and said "Yes, we would!"

Fergus was feeling much better but he decided that the adventure wasn't over just yet, so the three friendly fellows with brightly coloured fur and big smiles on their faces decided that they would go and find some more friends.

Leaping and bounding through some long grass was not one, but two monsters, and they both had big smiles on their faces and looked friendly just like Fergus, Tolbert and Gog.

Their names were Izzel and Bamber.

When Fergus asked them if they would like to be friends with he and the others, they both danced in delight and said "Yes, we would!"

Fergus was feeling much better and decided that five was a fun number, so the five friendly fellows with brightly coloured fur and big smiles on their faces decided to play all day until the sun went down and it was time to go to bed.

Fergus still lived in the middle of a jungle in a far away land with lots of trees, flowers, frogs and birds but he wasn't lonely anymore because he'd found friends that weren't scared of his big feet and wild fur and didn't run away.

Recreating Typographic Art

Friday, June 18, 2010
This is one of my favourite typographic pieces on the net so I really wanted to see if I could recreate it (and do it justice):
I've done three versions; the first two are very similar, only the larger letters have been duplicated and the opacity has been lowered to make a drop shadow. The third is just a monochrome. I had a few issues because I didn't actually have Helvetica so I used Arial instead.


Logo + Website Skin

Friday, June 4, 2010
We were given the task to design a logo for a business. We drew these businesses from a hat, and with the business name we were given a pantone colour to go with it. My business was Bill Smith's Plumbing, PANTONE 3005, a really nice blue. I researched a lot of plumbing business websites and most of the logos had water drops or taps. One bizarre one had a jumble pipes and faucets so I wanted to go with something really simple but identifiable. This is what I came up with:


PANTONE 3005 C
C=100, M=34, Y=0, K=2
R=0, G=129, B=198

WHITE
C=0, M=0, Y=0, K=0
R=255, G=255, B=255

We then had to make a skin for a website using the two PANTONE colours plus another three to have a collection of five hues. We were also allowed to use unlimited shades and tints of these colours. I just used the white, plus shades and tints of PANTONE 3005 because on most of the plumbing websites I found there wasn't a huge range of hues used.

Here's what I came up with:
