Ski/Snowboard clothing brands

The audience for Supremebeing is what I need to get into my head before I start to design. Will the brand name appear clearly on every item of clothing, or will the design speak for itself. 
Some brands, for example Superdry and Ralph Lauren, both brands associated with sport, have somewhat tarnished their image by plastering the logo and brand name all over every product they release. They were initially started as sport's clothes brands, and have both now just become fashion statements for 'chavs' to show they have a bit of money. 
This has boosted sales for both brands, I need to decide whether I am going to put Supremebeing in the same bracket or make it a little more up-market and stick to it's original target audience, making the designs speak for themselves?

Superdry Products



Ralph Lauren products



These are some clear examples of the branding being splashed all over the products.

Supremebeing - logos

At first I was thinking of re-designing the logo, which, I still might do. 
They have a range of different logos, both in upper and lower case letters which I thought was interesting. 


I think that I am going to adapt this logo for the Alpine Soundtrack, maybe adding a very simple vectorised snowboarder. 

Supremebeing - Previous Tshirt designs

These are a few of the designs that I have been looking into on the Supremebeing website. There are a whole range of different approaches to these, illustration, collage, photography to name but a few. I think that my style will work very well with this kind of design.

O2 Academy Leeds listings

This is the line up that I would most like to work with. There is a huge range of gigs and it is bigger than the other ones that I have looked at. It may also be more appropriate as it is in Leeds, it will allow me to go down and find out extra information about the gigs that would need to go on the posters. 









This range also includes a lot of my favourite acts who I would love to create posters for. I am quite a subject driven designer, so this could be a good opportunity to work with. 

Concorde 2 - Brighton - Listings

This is another venue that I am interested in creating the posters for. The club has a lot of imagery attached to it because of it's location right at the bottom of grande parade on brighton beach. 
I could really give this a new identity at the same time as creating the posters, add another level to my brief. 




This venue has a lot of range in the gigs that they put on genre-wise. I could really push my creativity with this one.

Kentish Town Forum listings

These are the listings that I could choose from if I were to chose the Kentish Town Forum venue in London for my gig posters brief.




I don't know whether there is enough of a range of different music genres in the line up to be able to really push the idea of a series, but different genres.

French collage poster

This is one of my favourite pieces of design that I have come across so far.
The combination of images, the different balloon shapes and the array of figures, walking around the centre are strangely appropriate. The balloons at the top of the poster and the plants at the bottom. 

The type also goes brilliantly. This is a super piece of design.
