MY EMPTY HEART- PERSONAL WORK

I drew this image back in college for my 'Talking Heads' zine ( Image 1). I liked the idea I came up with but wasn't happy with the layout and colour of it, so decided I'll change it in some way. I had recently bought some new brush pens and wanted to experiment with them, so i re-drew this image to make it look almost 3-d. Iam happy with the outcome of this and may even make prints out of them to sell.

                     

LINE DRAWING- PERSONAL WORK

Recently I've started using this detailed line drawing style. I usually use either a fine liner or a standard biro.

SERPENT SOUL PINCHER- PERSONAL WORK

MATERIAL EXPERIMENTATION- PERSONAL WORK

Here is some of my personal work. Since college I've been drawing these ghost like characters. They tend to crop up in certain parts of my work so they're almost a signature of mine. Ive started using this style of fine line with brush pens which I think flows together really well. I've also started experimenting with different materials not just plain paper. On the both of these images I've drawn on used envelopes and I think the colours on both pieces really compliment each other.

HANDRAWN TYPOGRAPHY

In college I never really seemed keen on typography but discovered recently it doesnt just have to be designed on the computer, it can be handrawn. Since then I've been playing around with certain type faces now and again with brush pens, fine liners and screen prints..

LOGO DESIGN PROJECT

Logo Design was a project to create a logo for a company which you have made up. I chose to design a logo for a company called 'Bloc' which I decided would be a skateboarding clothing business. Below are some thumbnails and idea generation. I wanted the text and image to be inspired by the company name so started drawing some ideas which were quite square and block like. In the end I chose a square logo which I drew first hand and simple, bold text. I was very happy with the outcome of this idea and it openend up alot my skills on the computer program Adobe Illustrator.

RETRO POSTER DESIGN

Retro poster design was a project where we were given several retro poster styles such as Propaganda and Pop Art and various companies to base the design on e.g. Ferrari, Swatch, Coca Cola. I chose Peroni Beer and aimed to design it in a Saul Bass way. I researched the charcater uses and drew it in my style. After creating my character I began thumbnailing ideas and researching into the Peroni company. On the website their tagline is 'Brings Out The Italian In You' so i kept this in mind and drew more thumbnails. My final idea is of my character drinking the Peroni Beer and gradually his body is filling up with the Italian flag. I recieved good feedback in the class criteria and changed little bits for the final design.
