Penguin/Puffin Design Awards so far...

2011-01-25T14:57:00.006Z

An unfinished piece for the Puffin design award, which is to create a new book cover for James and the Giant Peach. The idea is basically based on the moment James drops his magic crocodile tongues, and they wriggle down into the soil where all the bugs are..

And here is my first attempt at the cover for One Hundred Years of Solitude, which is a bit more simplistic and grown up.

Wrapping Paper Update

I went to Roach Bridge the other day to check out my design in print! It's gone to print in rolls of thousands of reams!
Here you go:

Here is my work so far:

Revisit

2010-09-20T16:57:00.002+01:00

Whilst bored I quickly revisited a drawing made for a previous project (see further down on Blog)

More animals

2010-09-14T13:47:00.001+01:00

This time a cheetah. Worked ok, not enough character i think..

Experiments

2010-07-06T13:28:00.005+01:00

Perhaps a bit footballeresque, but quite happy with them for a couple of hours work! And it was just an experiment anyway!!

All taken from this drawing...

Portraiture

2010-06-29T15:21:00.007+01:00

Below are two images, both of a portrait I painted from a photo by Jamie Hawkesworth - http://jamiehawkesworth.blogspot.com/

I think the polaroid is particularly interesting.

Animals

2010-06-17T15:55:00.006+01:00

After making quite a nice owl illustration for my childrens book i thought it would be a good idea to try my hand at some animal illustrations!
Here's a go at an elephant!

Heres a go at a tortoise.. Think I might do an A-z of animals book in this sort of style..

I had a go at...

2010-06-15T16:27:00.002+01:00

...some fashion type illustration today, but tried to put my own style into it. Quite pleased with it for a quick job and as a concept!
Dad made a good point that you don't want fashion models to look like they have parchment skin, but I think it works okay... Like I say, it was just an idea I had and this was the result!

Wrapping Paper

2010-05-27T17:40:00.003+01:00

My wrapping paper was chosen (kind of)!
They really liked the bee design but found it was probably not that marketable. They also really liked the style I did it in so asked if i'd try the same thing with butterflies which they have decided to go with!
Not too keen on the colour myself, but apparently it's very in demand atm!

Children's Book

2010-04-30T22:56:00.006+01:00

This year I entered the Macmillan Children's book competition. Unfortunately I didn't win, but nevermind! Below is part of my entry, click to go large:

Elective Project

2010-04-21T10:23:00.002+01:00

For our creative Business project we had to design a wrapping paper for a large paper company, to be used in florists across the country. This was actually a live brief, if my design is chosen it will go to print and I'll get £300. Though it's unlikely!
I decided to go on the theme of insects.

Left Hand of God - Don't Panic Competition

2010-02-08T13:30:00.000Z

Our latest assignment was to enter the Don't Panic Competition, which was to do an illustration for Penguin Books new release The Left Hand of God's promotional posters. The image was to be based on the main character, Thomas Cale.

Repackage

2010-01-22T11:24:00.000Z

For our first project of the new term we had to buy a product for under £1 and redesign the packaging so it would sell for over £2. I chose Rocky Road :) Below is the net for the box.

Dewey decimal

2009-11-28T13:17:00.000Z

For this project we were given a random dewey decimal number (library referencing system) and had to illustrate that subject. My subject was microbiology and evolution.

Excuse the juddering on the video, I was using a trial version of Flash and it wasn't great!!

Campaign

2009-11-10T14:49:00.001Z

Our most recent brief was to make posters for a chosen campaign, real or fictional. I chose to do mine on people who don't contribute towards society or their community.

LOST

2009-10-18T16:37:00.000+01:00

For our first project in Year 2, we had to make 10 copies of a book. The book had to explore a range of different medias and a word of our choice and my chosen word was "Lost".
I sent a text round a few friends and family asking them what they have lost recently, receiving a range of different answers from keys to loved ones.

If you click on the thumbnails they go big :)
