Miscellaneous

Another personal project, work leading on from an interview for a potential job in the creative market! The cupcake drawings below were from the first stages of my application...


My task was to work with light colour palettes and create some new patterns and characters for a princess party range... I had fun with them, however was unsuccessful. I am not sure if these finished pieces reflected my style very well but I created them quickly, and quickly for me meant on the computer creating a 'digital' look. You can see from the two related posts my ideas are very different in approach and media. Nevertheless all for experience and I can learn from what I did and saw at the lovely studios. 










Postcard Designs

As part of another university module I had to look at new postcard designs, also creating my creative CV, letterhead and promotional mailer. Preparing myself for the scary and exciting world of work! Here are the two postcard images I worked with, drawing a similar style from the linear buildings within an earlier project, only this time 'sticking' together buildings I see on my travels throughout the day. I am not completely happy with them, I prefer the use of textural background for the first, and the compact shape it creates but I still don't think they are ready to print yet. 


Family Portraits

From a previous post of inspiration these are the final prints I worked with for the brief. In the end I still preferred the repetitive pattern and contemporary colour tone of my first idea. I considered the idea of placing my drawn spectacles into domestic environments (see bottom image) however this was not my own photograph and therefore only contributed as an idea.
