No Evil- Mental Health

Photoshoot today, for my friends mental health awareness campaign. I was asked to do some simple shots on the 'see,hear, speak no evil' concept. Rather like the photos and the natural lighting.
Check out the campaign here, it should be online soon :)

Swirlyyy

I set myself the summer mission of improving my illustration skills as mine were awful before summer!
I think i can say iv not done too bad, although people who have seen my sketch book might say different.
Im particularly fond of these sketches, with the exception of the octopus which im not too keen on now, his legs seem to have got a bit tangles. My pen was running out when i was doing these so they arnt amazing quality but im rather fond of the owl and the whale :)

Key Rings

I apologise for the lack of blogging lately, iv been rather busy making thing for my shop which i'l hopefully be opening on etsy soon :)
Heres some sneak previews of some of the things il be selling, the photos dont do them justice, and the jack skeleton keyring isnt quiet dry (i was in a bit of a rush at the time)
Im not sure if il be selling the heart keyrings yet, im not 100% sure i like them, but the raindrop keyring and crisp packet badges will definatly be going up, hopefully along with some prints of my work :)

Dont Panic.

Votings now open for my design, those of you who have accounts please vote, those of you who dont get an account and vote here. :)

A little bit more propaganda

These are mainly for lens benifit so he can see what other designs iv come up with, feel free to comment and input though :)

Propaganda

Bit of experimentation with the propaganda flyers, me and len currently rather like the green one, but i would like opinions on these please, the red one below included, also any suggestions welcome too :)

Maiden

These are an album cover and poster i did for iron maiden when i was first year college, i loved them at the time but looking back now i really wonder what on earth i was thinking, im quiet happy at how much my design work has definatly moved on since these and think i may have a second attempt at this project just to prove i can do soo much better now!

Propaganda!

My friend asked me to design some flyers for his new radio show in september at uni, he decided to call his show propaganda and told me the basics of what he wanted. This is what i came up with, well one side of the flyer at least, i have plans for the back of the flyer too but i need all the information first of course :)
Hope you like it.

Me :)

I decided id have a go using my new found illustrator skills and decided to trace an image of myself and do a cartoon type effect, this is the result. I'm not completly sure if i like it, think it needs more work so I'm going to have a play around with it at a later date as my eyes now hurt from being too close to the screen for too long.

Vines

A bit more of the old photoshopping, came out with some vines this time, I think it would have been a hell of a lot easier to do this on in illustrator with the pen tool but i thought id have a go in photoshop anyway :)

Adobe illustrator

Today i progressed on my mission to learn adobe illustrator, its taken a while but with a bit of explaining I seem to have got the basics now, especially of the pen tool, seem to have the paint tool sorted too, although im sure il still get frustrated at it often. Anyway this is my emo girl, drawn completly from scratch in illustrator :)

Brushes

More photoshop experiementation with brushes, starting to get really addicted to this stuff now, its so simple yet looks so cool, half tempted to get some of these printed on canvas or something and put them on my wall. Let me know what you think :)

Pretty colours

Bit more experimentation with my newly made brush in photoshop, getting addicted to experimenting with brushes now.

Alright Cupcake ;)

My friend Laura wanted me to make her some cupcake stickers, so here they are!Once again hand drawn as i dont have access to a decent enough printer at the moment. I think theyve come out pretty good considering. Hope she likes them :)
