the illustrations i have been working on for the illustration project set by the uni. about mechanical toys. going to use these images and a few others that i havent finished yet to create posters a catalogue cover and invitation. each of these illustrations takes me about a day to produce as so much work goes into them especially when it comes to stitching into the paper.
these are a few of my favourite things! i have a very sweet tooth!! using line drawings and then scanning in and adding colour and changing size on photoshop.
another design for my cigarette style cards for my self promotion. using my stitching style and ripped paper.
My homemade valentine card as im too tight to buy one ha! a bit shoddy but oh well only gonna go in bin after!
an experiment with type scanning bits in and adding to a photo. trying to get across my personality/interests with different images that also reflect my style.
What ive been doing tonight! Tracing photos from magazines then using thick black lines to highlight main parts to create face. colouring it in with teared paper. then drawing swirls to add for the background and scanning both in then using photoshop to bring them together. thinking about self promotion for this project. going to make a matchbox and fill it with interesting things and my own designs and thinking that cigarette cards would be interesting for size and how people collect them. need to add my signature to all of my work i'm going to add to matchbox.
one of my first attempts at hand rendered type really enjoyed it ...relaxed me just tracing! just used a fineliner and a bit of grey card think it looks quite effective.
Taking my letters out into nottingham city center, trying to use places that "hoodies" would hang about i.e park bench, market square, and phone box! just need to develop how i would put the rest of my text on these images and possible take more photos to get it just right as these only took me 2mins to take so get them more professional and more thought out.
inspired by Si Scott's typography and adding my stitching over the top and also sequins to add extra texture. All so using more college and tracing around an image (of my sister) then using paper to fill in the colour and stitching over top to highlight parts.
A set i made in december 2008 for an interactive group project. i think there's a blog some where on here for it... basically had to make a website and this was for one of the pages which would then have rollovers and other things happening on the page. Was a really fun project i enjoyed working with some one else (Ant Eastman) made the ideas better as there was twice as much input.
Some Work that i did in october for my first brief back at uni, branding a coffee shop called common ground. photo 1 is of a coaster design i came up with using printed paint and then scanning in printing out and sewing over the top. photo 2 is more sewing that would be applyed to a napkin and photo 3 is of a music flyer thats uses the main logo for the coffee shop and added text that keeps in with the same style.
Making 3D type. idea of using hoodies to wrap around letters to give them a personality. next step to place them in situ i.e a park bench to further the understanding of the letters.
