Oh Alison

A birthday card for Grannie and Rossie, as you have probably guessed, I love Alison Carmichael. Also, what do you give one of your favourite friends for her 20th? A little watercolour/collagey thing of a photo of you and her with cameltoe of course! Also, why is this bold and underlined? I pressed nothing to indicate this text should do that...
P.S. Check out Rosalyn Edenbrow's blog she's good

Wake-Up Call

Two design ideas for the "Wake-Up Call" project. I chose stop and search, and focused on the controversy surrounding the discrimination and racism involved.

Grids 2

Another redesign for grids. My attempt at a 3-column.

Grids

My first grids project was aaawwwffuuulll, I didn't understand the concept of grids at all. So this is a redesign in time for assessment. Using beautiful photos by Arthur Loveday.(check the lad out http://www.arthurloveday.com/) These are double page spreads, and we had to use a certain number of small, medium and large photos with captions, and include headings, sub-headings and text. This is my attempt at a 2-column grid.

Inspiration Wall

A project from a while ago named "Inspiration Wall". All of graphics/illustration had to find an inspirational quote and make a poster for it. It sounded like fun, so I made it fun! The idea behind the rubbish-y design was that it was supposed to be a rubbish-y design, based on one of those old "wish you were here" beach postcards .Thanks to James Brown for patiently jumping and jumping again and again and looking so happy even when he was fed up.

Happy Birthday Matthew

A poster I gave Matt for his birthday, just to bring the poor kid's dreams to life as much as I willingly would. This is me and him wrapped in an erotic embrace. Also my first try at proper photo editing...not bad!Happy Birthday lovely man xx

Grannie's present

Originally for my semiotics project, this was going to a page to represent "time". Grannie gave me loads of old pictures of her so I could put them together. I lined them up, changed the black and white levels, sharpened them up a bit etc etc. Made a few adjustments, added the text in my current favourite Alison Carmichael style and voila, a nice birthday present. Isn't she beautiful!
