Screen print - Fly away

I did a screen printing project early on in my foundation year which I thoroughly enjoyed. We could pick whatever theme we wanted. I chose to do 'hair' as I was very inspired by illustrations of hair that I had seen online on Flickr. Also It was a very experimental project and I am really pleased with the outcomes!

Screen print - Angels

Screen print - Fairy land

Screen print - Party music

 

Indian themed Glastonbury poster - Development

This project was my final major project last year. I decided to produce an Indian themed Glastonbury music festival poster, along with wristbands, t-shirts and tickets. My biggest inspiration for this was my trip earlier last year to Calcutta. Here is some development sketchbook work.

For my Glastonbury poster I used Photoshop and Illustrator. I was extremely pleased with the outcome as I feel I accomplished exactly what I wanted. I feel it’s very contemporary and really eye catching.

Typography - New project - Initial ideas

At the moment, I have just started a new project on typography. I have produced an A4 research book. For my first task which I am doing now, I am to pick 3 words from the list, as a theme for each style of type. I have chosen texture, technology and organic. I have done some initial ideas this week for texture and the cut out leafs is one of them.

Still on the textures theme, I used the words texture and rough. For rough I contradicted it, by using soft fur for the type.

Here I have carved the word smooth with a scalpel into banana skin.

Illustration and Lino print

This was a narrative imagery project I recently did. I had to pick an article and produce 3 narrative images. I chose the Indonesian toddler who smokes. On mount board I presented my 3 hand drawn illustrations and a Lino print of one of them. I also added an example of what my narrative image looks like next to the article itself.

Boadicea inspired dress

This is a dress I made in December 2010. Edge Hill University visited our college to do a workshop with us where we had to pick a name from the list given and then make a dress inspired by that person but only using paper. I picked Boadicea the warrior. It was a new experience for me as I had never made clothes before and I enjoyed the challenge!

3D Candy Skull Lantern

In November 2010 I took part in the Southport lantern parade, where I made my own structure from willow withies and then decorated it with coloured tissue paper to create a 3D candy skull. This was a great opportunity for me to get involved with the community and display my work to the public.

Life Drawing

This is a recent life drawing I produced using 3 different colour pastels in 5 minutes. The more faded drawings were quick 30 second sketches overlaying each other on the paper.

On the right hand side is a upclose 20 minute painting, also using black and white acrylic paints.



Portrait

I am doing photography as an enrichment in college and I did a short project on portraits. This is my favourite shot as I feel the light is really complimenting her features and this is what I wanted to achieve.
