Poster ideas for Ulverston Walkfest 2013

Cluedo...

Last semester we had a drawing project where we had to find an object to represent each of the characters from the boardgame Cluedo. We had to arrange our objects to create a set up which we then drew. I started off quite timid because I find drawing large set ups pretty challenging. But then Tony my tutor came along with indian ink and some large brushes and encouraged me to GO BIG! Something clicked and I started producing large expressive drawings and had great fun. So much fun in fact that I knocked over a pot of indian ink all over the carpet...oops! I finally faced my fear of tone and tried out a new way of working which I love!

The "stain"

Occult Related Crime Unit Illustration...

Occult Related Crime Unit research...

Research for my latest brief which is to produce an illustration for an editorial on the Occult Related Crime Unit (ORCU)...

Pitt's Birthday Card...

Guinness World Records...

Phew it's finally Friday! It has been a very hectic week and there have been A LOT of late nights to try and get stuff done but, I can finally take a mini breath! I've just handed in a short brief which was to produce 4 illustrations for Guinness World Records. They have 4 categories in which their records fall under; size, extraordinary, dedication and speed. Our project was to create illustrations to represent each of the categories. Here are my solutions...

Disintegration...

The first project of my 3rd year studying Illustration, was to design a booklet based on a word we drew out of a hat. I picked "Disintegration." Rather than going for the obvious, I decided to go for something a bit different and look at quirky quotes to do with my chosen topic.

A Very Big Thank You...

After doing my work experience at WEC International I wanted to send the team and the in house designer Chris, cards to say a huge thank you for such a wonderful experience. I learnt so much about working on live briefs as well as more about myself as a designer. The most important lesson was that I do what I do for the "fun" and not the "fame." You don't have to be famous to be creative.

Whatever Happened to C.T. Studd's?

During my work experience at WEC International, I was given a brief to illustrate a book cover for a new publication about the founder of the organisation, as they head towards their centenary year in existence. I am ecstatic to say the publisher liked my design and the book is in print as we speak...so watch this space!

Happy Birthday Elly...

My housemate Elly turned the grand old age of 20 this June and as she loves animals I made this cheeky little zebra postcard for her.

Robots are cool...

The birthday card I made for my friend Steve...he likes robots.

Happy Birthday Grandad...

It's my Grandad's birthday tomorrow. Like every year, I have no idea how old he is and this year is no different! I made him a card using bits and pieces from my collage box and it sits on my grandparents bureau waiting to be opened. He's so sweet, the other day he was telling me all about his time in India as a soldier and how on leave, him and his friends went horse riding up into the mountains. I don't think we appreciate the awesomeness of our grandparents sometimes. The lives they led when they were our age and the people they met. Next time I see him he's going to show me all his photographs from India. I can't wait to go back in time with him. Happy Birthday Grandad... you're amazing as ever!
