Penguins!



For a weekly project, we were asked to create a taxi wrap that will add to humour to peoples lives. Now I have a unique sense of humour and what I find funny, most people don't haha..some call me simple..I love penguins so I decided to integrate them into the taxi wrap.Most people find them amusing and to emphasise this, I made them in a cartoon style on Illustrator.

Something to keep my confidence up


I did this a year ago, I created it because I wanted something to remind me that I may not be top of the top but what I create or produce is still good. I think it's an important thing to have being in the design business to keep your motivation up when things might slip.

Quick photograph on the beach..


It was meant to be a sunny day in June - but I live in England so let's face it, there wasn't going to be sunshine! Thought I would take this photo as I liked the way the sand was on the football and the way it was positioned - it was asking to be photographed if you ask me.

Live.Laugh.Love


A few weeks ago, I suddenly went into in a creative mood and decided to open Photoshop and just see what happens really! I ended up producing this. It was done with a graphic tablet (Bamboo).

Manifesto


We were asked to produce a "manifesto" of anything we wanted to. I came up with the idea of smashing up an alarm clock because I feel that people worry about time too much and that you should just live as best you can and do things in your own time. It's also a pressure point too, the pressure of being somewhere on time or sitting an examination, based on how much time you've got. I also just generally hate alarm clocks when they wake you when you're so relaxed and in a deep sleep..I just want to "smash" it.. :)

Personal Pieces...



A few things I've done recently in my spare time. I want to integrate this style into my university work as it's my favourite way to work :)

Library Bag Project.


Earlier this year at uni, we were asked to design a bag which would be sold at the library for the library. It had to have a connection with books. Luckily, out of around 20 designs, mine was chosen.
They have been produced for the beginning of this academic year and have sold very well - which has made me more proud of myself as well as a bit uncomfortable as I'm not used to being recognised for my academic abilities. Hopefully this is a new start for me and it has given a confidence boost.
They then asked me to design something, in the same style, to go on water bottles which will be sold in the library too.
