TYPOGRAPHY

Here's just a small sample of the typography i have been working on over the course at Wigan And Leigh, with my typography work i base it on the work of BO130 as his work is amazing and really eye-catching. I know my work will never live up to the standards of some of the most famous artosts in history but for people to notice the inspirations used in my work is amazing. 

i try to keep my work very sharp and clean as you can see in these few images but im getting used to loosening up and letting go with my work and im starting to like it. 

these images are taken from my first year work as i was starting to understand Graphics But i am improving and getting a lot better as i study more and practice. 

TRIAL AND ERROR IS KEY!!

MAKING A START ON MY PORTFOLIO



Started to make my Portfolio for university today and hit a giant mental block of what to put in and what works well as a page. i am really struggling as this one thing is the decider for the rest of my life and i cant help but worry.
All week i have been taking photos of my work and cleaning them up ready but now its time to start it im not happy with my work. 

So heres a start. Tell me what you think, too plain? too boring? 
HELP!!!!



SEASONS- GRAPHICS




In the 'Natural Framework' brief for Graphics we had to produce four postcards, one to symbolise each season and here are my final postcards. all these are hand rendered done under the influence of artists Stefan Sagimeister and Nadia Flower.  

I am happy with my outcomes as they symbolise each season really well. My favourite is the 'Summer' compostion as so much detail went into the 'R' and a variety of media used to make the composition come to life.

BOURNEMOUTH

In 2012 I went to Bournemouth on a girls holiday, we spent most of the time by the beach, the weather was great.

This is my favourite photograph of them all!

NATURAL FRAMEWORK


This project was based on natural framework with the outcome of a skirt for textiles, a piece of body armor for 3D, a number of lino and etching prints for fine art and finally four postcards one for each season for graphics. we looked at artists such as Stefan Sagmeister and Nadia Flower. i enjoyed this project as it was challenging and linked to life drawing. 

Here are some off my outcomes;
