Rough layout ideas (D&AD)

And again (D&AD)

 

I sewed and cut out some Ivy for growing up for Kipps as an alternative to salmon.

I also tried a meteorite and a butterfly. They need more development though. Paints seem to work best as the under layer as on the fish, and the butterfly needs to look less like a moth.

More development (D&AD)

Finally got some fists to work

And made a few fish.

The idea now is to represent the 3 books as follows:

Ann Veronica - Fists of freedom pyramid, with a butterfly representing Ann flying free from them

Tono - Bungay - Money pyramid collapsing representing the collapse of his finances, possibly with meteorites representing the main character.

Kipps - Cutlrey pyramid representing the social classes with a Salmon leaping up it to represent Kipps.

Books! (D&AD)

D&AD have a competition at the moment to re-design some of HG Wells book covers. I bought the books!

Poem Lady

I have a done a few illustrations for a poem book which will be distributed across London.

 

 

Snow days

Here are some animal mating illustrations to illustrate the quote "Wrong is Right" by Thelonius Monk.
I am making them into a little book. It is an adaption of Gideon Defoe's book "How Animals Have Sex" 


PS Happy New Year! Seeing a 2010 folder on my hard-drive is odd.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Christmas

I designed Christmas cards this year, here they are!

Print Is Dead

The aim of this uni project was to create a product that puts our illustrations into a new market.

I created computer icons which work on both Mac and Windows for the most widely used applications and folders. I chose to use animals as my theme and tried to link them to each application.

I used cardboard and oil pastel for the animals, and water colour for the backgrounds.

I have also created a website, with the aim of the website being to sell my animal icons as a down-loadable set, and to be able to download backgrounds for these animals to live in. This is just a shell of a website and at the moment the icons and backgrounds aren't downloadable. The colourings can however be printed using your browsers print option and the website can be fully viewed.

View it here:

Here are a few of the animals on bits of background:

And here are the icons working on both mac and windows:

That's all for now. Lino cut and etching growing and folding book of The Ant and the Chrysalis to follow soon.

Final Pieces

Here are my final images for 'The Road' as a set.

The flash was too bright so I went without which has made the image quality very poor.

Here they are individually..

And the huge book of development...
