some quick portraits

I've been very lucky recently, because I've been able to invest in some fancy new toys - a brand new MacBook Pro and a Wacom Bamboo tablet! I feel very spoilt and happy! These are some of the first drawings that I've done with the tablet, they are not perfect, but I like them. Was going for a quick, rough look anyway. They are actually faces of my target audience, for a moodboard that I've had to put together for a presentation tomorrow... hoping it goes well!

finishing touches

I must be on a roll with this blogging thing, i mean, 6 posts in 2 days? what nerd/procrastinator i am. This is a screenshot of something that I'm currently working on. Part of a poster series that will go with my corporate identity in time for the big bad graduate exhibition. Just under a month with too much to do! Fun times ahead.

a little experiment

Hello!

Here is another illustration that just finished. I guess you could call it a self portrait. Kind of.
I made the original sketch for it months ago and until now it had just been taped to my wall, sitting in the "future projects" bank - I'm sure lots of people have "future projects" or "things in the pipeline" or as the other list on my noticeboard says, "personal creative projects"...

This is something that tends to happen a lot while you're studying (or at least it happens to me a lot), you're always so busy with college briefs and assignments that you don't really have much time or energy to do carry through your own, personal projects.

This weekend was the first in a long time that I had no homework. Nothing due in. Or at least nothing immediate... So I jumped at the chance to do something with this sketch.

A pretty literal take on how I feel a lot of the time. Drained.

Okay okay, enough rambling!

Here is one of the original, 'planning' sketches.

It Came In The Night

This is a poster that Jared, Dale and I worked on for our data visualisation project earlier this year and is basically a visual representation of the nightmares experienced by graphic design students, between the ages of 18 and 26.

Is that your final answer?

"stickers" that were intended to be used throughout the slideshow-gameshow

logo in action - the title page of the slideshow-gameshow

I designed this logo and set of "stickers" for a slideshow presentation that our design history group had to present yesterday. The whole thing was a play on the "Who wants to be a Millionaire" franchise, with a bit of a cultural twist.

Digital physical

Our first Photoshop project! We had to design three panels - self portrait, collage and typography based - all about ourselves. Really enjoyed this one...
