Completed Poster!

Finally finished the Awareness poster for Conway Campus. Emailed it to the staff in charge and waiting to hear back from them.

Unfinished

I was organising my files recently and came across an image I started 3 years ago but never completed. I was practising using dodge and burn tools to shade as well as trying to create my first digital painting or lineless drawing, all done on one layer. It took 5 hours and to this day has remained unfinished. Hopefully one day I can find time to complete it.

Awareness Poster Part 2

After not receiving any confirmation from Conway Campus, my tutor and I discussed it and decided on the best design for the poster. I have been developing the design for the past few days. Building up the character designs to portray people both staff and students can relate too. Here is where I am to currently:

Awareness Poster Ideas

Conway Campus have recently asked students of the art department if they could design an awareness poster to high light that the lifts are intended to aid disabled students/staff and that other staff and students should be utilising the stairs. I sketched up some ideas for the poster design and emailed them to the staff in charge of the project.

Character Design

This was a project from last year exploring character design. I was given 3 words to describe each character I had to design. I enjoyed this project as it gave me a chance to explore my imagination and develop my drawing style.

Bird like, Artist, Non threatening

Guitar playing, Schizophrenic, Cyclist

Nerdy girl, Communist, Chilli lover

Angry, Caring, Nudist

Social, Moustached, Postman

Shark like, Urban, Friendly

First Live Brief!

As part of this years module I was tasked with finding briefs to work from, be it from a competition, a company or an individual client. This assignment is to help expand my knowledge of the illustration industry and develop my portfolio.

Over the summer I was lucky enough to get in contact with a local author, Ron Kenyon, who was looking for an illustrator to design his next book cover. We had a meeting and I showed him some of my work, we discussed the design and arranged to meet two weeks later when I would show him my rough sketches. During our second meeting I showed him the sketches and an image I had refined a little further to give him more of an idea of the end result. Mr Kenyon loved the design and suggested a few minor changes to font size and composition. 

Here is the finished piece:
