d&ad

these were mine and jess lewins collaborative entries to the d&ad illustration brief. the two pieces were in response to songs by the andrews sisters and while we didnt make it 'in book' we had a great time making the objects and are pleased with the outcome. we will re-photograph them as they aren't as clear as they could be. the two are piano related items and both are fully functional. the top one is in reference to the ocean and how both waves and piano keys follow a rhythm and the bottom one is to show how people are controlled by music just as a piano is controlled by its player. the little arms and legs dance about when the piano hammers are played. i really enjoyed working in 3d and particularly loved working with the wood. wish i had done more wood work before this project!

toothy

For my final major project i revisited a project from first year, and redesigned a children's book i had written. its about a child who get his teeth taken by pirates because he doesnt brush them properly. it's fairly simple stuff but i've really enjoyed making it, and tried to pay extra attention to using pattern and texture. A lot of the images need re-doing and there are many changes i wish to make, but nonetheless, here are a few double page spread from it!

london 2012

we were set a task to design a series of posters for an imaginary advertising brief to encourage people to cycle to the olympics. i've enjoyed working with stamps recently so uset lino to make larger stamps than previously. the colours were chosen to coincide with the horrible 2012 logo, i usually wouldnt work with these kind of bright colours. i really enjoyed making and stamping the detail of the buildings
