Print Making

Screen printing as part of research for Liverpool,  I enjoy the process of print making and I'm pleased with the results.

Photo etching, part of my research for Circus Brief.

The Counter Revolutionary Magazine Design

Research Sketchbook

Ideas and Development Sketchbook

For this Brief I was asked to design a contemporary arts magazine. I think the front cover should be striking, which I feel I have achieved.  After much research  I went with an underwater theme as its quite different yet its interesting and intriguing, My main colour used is red as I found it was a popular choice for magazines.

Liverpool Biennial Poster

Liverpool Sketchbook

This brief was to create a poster for Liverpool Biennial, International Festival Of Contemporary Arts. I experimented with photo copying a map of liverpool with tracing paper over the top. I chose red as its a contrasting colour. I was also inspired by the typographer Barbara Kruger.

Circus Book Cover

For this project, we were asked to create a book titled ‘Nights At The Circus’ I chose to go with a traditional theme of the red curtains and almost a puppet like model. I think the typeface I chose stuck with that theme. I like the photography worked used.

Stamps

For this brief I created a set of stamps, I started by creating separate collages for each, preferably very vivid. I then overlaid some of my life drawing sketches over the top, contrasting the colour by turning them white. I think this effect worked well.

DVD Cover

I was asked to create a DVD cover and disk by a Jazz/Classical artist. After looking into different photography I was inspired by David Hockney's photo montages, producing my own of a saxophone, I chose a clean and legible typeface that fitted well, with a matching colour scheme. The choice of typography and imagery fitted the genre of music.

Corporate Identity for Ikon Gallery

  

For this brief we were given a guest artist to research and create stationary in their style. I was given the arist Andy Goldsworthy. After initially researching this work, I was inspired by the use of the enviroment, mainly twigs and rocks. I wanted my final outcome to look clean and professional but still with a hint of his style.
