portfolio

I have selected a range of work which demonstrates final outcomes, prep work, sketchbook work and life drawing. I feel that my selected pieces show my ability to use mixed media, how I generate and develop my ideas and also shows examples of computer generated outcomes. I have also shown a piece that was the product of a team effort, which was specified as part of a brief in an apprentice style competition at college. All of the work I have selected has been produced while I have been at college and I feel that these are some of the best pieces that I have created while on the course.







Aprrentice competition final : This was a group project where we had to brand peanut butter and present it to a board of designers, similar to the apprentice on the BBC. As a team, we had to produce a mock up of the product, advertisement and then we had to present it in a proffesional manner to our tutors.  Each member of the group had a different job to perform and my role was market research.


Music brief LP cover design volume1: For this breif i was tasked with designing a cover for a grunge compilation ablum. The design had to work on both CD and 12" formats.


Sketch book work, japanese prints: This is a page from my contextual studies. It was part of a four page spread about japanese woodblock print.


 Life drawing : This is part of still life drawing which we did in the first year. The task was to create shade and shape using only two colours.

 Scamps for DPS project : These are some ideas for page layouts for a DPS project. I had to design a double page spread for creative review based on a trip to the URBIS Center.





Life drawing : This life drawing was an experimentation using pastel. The model would hold a pose and then change his pose and i had to capture the poses.
