Owl And The Pussycat illustration

Here is my Finished Owl and The Pussycat illustration for my narrative project, which i have been able to complete today whilst trying to boost up the grades of some of my project. I really loved this illustration and thought it was a shame that i didn't get the chance to complete it. I created this image by using photoshop and a wacom tablet.

Posters To advertise my Magazine




Here are a couple of posters i have created to advertise my magazine for Whitstable. Again i have gone for giving it a seaside nautical theme to represent the towns style. I have created both of these posters using Indesign.

Page Spreads For My Magazine






Here are a couple of page spreads for my magazine i am creating for my FMP. As my magazine is based on Whitstable which is a seaside town i've given it a bit of a nautical theme. Im really pleased with how these have turned out i think that they look quite professional and a lot better than some of the other free whitstable magazines that are out. I created all of these using Indesign and have included some photographs that i have taken around whitstable and a small illustration of a boat that i drew using photoshop.

Front Cover Designs For Magazine






here are three of my magazine front cover designs for my free Whitstable magazine. I have created these as part of my Final Major Project. The top design includes an illustration i made in photoshop of the Whitstble Oysters boat in whitstable. The last two include photographs that i have taken around whitstable. I'm quite pleased with the way they have turned out and i feel they reflect Whitstable cute quirky style.

Thao Lam


These are my final illustrations for my narrative project. I decided to base my illustrations around the Edward Lear Poem 'The Owl And The Pussycat' because i think it is a beautiful and descriptive poem that i have loved since i was a child. I have chosen to create these pieces using collage taking inspiration from artist such as Thao Lam who has also created collage illustrations. All of these pieces where created using the program Illustrator, and i found all of the materials and textures online. I am very pleased with the way these have turned out i think the technique is very effective and works really well as a children's book illustration. 

Anifest poster


Here is my poster for the Canterbury Anifest Show. I have been asked to design something that could be used to advertise the event on posters, flyers or on there website. I created my poster using the program indesign. At the top i have a film reel showing some of the animators work who will be there and at the bottom i have a made an illustration of Saint Augustine's House in Canterbury where the event will be held.

Other Illustrations








Here are a few illustrations i have done in between projects and on side projects. All of these were created using illustrator.

Experimenting with mixed media















Here are some of my experimentation with mixed media when i was trying to come up with a logo for my magazine front cover. Here i have tried ripping, tearing, cutting, scratching, painting, splattering, drawing, rubbing scrunching and rearranging my type to come up with a unique hand made logo.

Packaging Project


Here are my final packaging designs for my Starbucks products. The top one is a box for a tub of strawberry and cream smoothie dipping sauce. The bottom one is a label to go around a bottle of Coffee Flavoured smoothie. I created both of these images using indesign and adding in images and text.

Typography







Here are some examples of my work from my typography project last year. Here i had to create a book cover completely out of type. Above i was trying to create a cover by moving the letters of a word around creating imagery using the letters and the white space. At the top are my cover designs for a vintage type book.
