Starting to find patterns.

Carrying on the idea of repeat pattern i took some photos of patterns that i found and liked.

Photos i can cut letters and numbers out of.

And we had these lying about...

But the 'V' is missing!

And I liked the shaped on this old theatre.

Artists for FONT.

Jayne Helliwel

I love the use of photos and type, and the type being a pattern.

Hattie Stewart!

I like the use of shapes hattie uses, they all look interesting and unique.

Day One.

An Idea.

I started with thinking about what i would enjoy doing.

I thought i would enjoy doing this more if i based it on repeat patterns.

And then i thought about reptiles, and snakes because of their scales being a repeat pattern.

Idea One: To create a repeat pattern

Here i started drawing up some simple designs i could do.

I thought i could make a whole page of repeat pattern and cut the alphabet out of it.

Dooodles.

Here i was testing out some hand drawn hand writing.

ZINE- practice

I like to write things down and practice things before I do them.
So this some more written ideas and me practicing before I do it on my final pages.

My Baaaabies!

Monsters for my zine.
Can't wait to have it done.
Now I'm at home i'll be able to take more pictures because my flat is too small.
Stay tuned.

More monsters for zine.

I loooove drawing monsters.

It's quick so i can draw loads and they look so good, even if i say so myself.

Mum thinks they're to scary... i love it.

These are more monsters to add in my photographs.

ZINE- Early experimentatiiion

... with photos and drawings.

So far...

These are really rough ideas.
this is basically what my zine will look like inside...

First off i started drawing monsters.

Then I took photos of where as a child you would think you'd find them,

These two photographs show monsters coming out the cupboard.

I took the photographs, printed them out and them cut them up and places the monsters where they should be with blue tack so they weren't completely flat down on the paper so when i photographed them you would see shadows and look more 3D.

In the process: Zine

We've got a couple days to make a zine.
To take 6 photographs in different location's and to construct a sequential narrative around them.
Also to use different processes to tell your story.

I decided to base it on 'childhood fears'
I am in the process of drawing my monsters.

WEBSITE DESIGN- some tidier designs

Thought I'd choose one design and make it easier to understand...

This shows if you click on the about me, my about me section will come up.

This would be filled with stuff about me and what i do etc...

This one shows that if you clicked on illustration... my illustrations would come up.

more images would show up if you scrolled down the page.

I would also have a short description about the illustration.

If you clicked on drawings... my drawings would come up.

And here you can also scroll down to see more drawings.

This here shows if you clicked on sketch book, sketch book pages would come up.

And also if you scrolled down more would show.

Also if you clicked on blog... it would direct you to my blog.

Same as if you clicked on twitter... or facebook.

For the background i used one of my drawings i have done and turned it into a repeat pattern. 

VOILA!!!!!

I love purple.

Design a website.

My brief last thursday was to create rough ideas of how you would like your website to look.
I only just got my mac yesterday so i had nothing but preview to do this on,
so i had to do it all by hand...

The reason why I chose to set it out like this is because all the websites i have seen i have preferred the ones that were as simple as these.
I like having a background image so i chose one of my drawings and used it as a repeat pattern.

ONE

TWO

THREE

If you clicked on about me, where the drawing is would come up with my about me section

if you clicked illustration, where the drawing is all my illustrations would come up

If you clicked Drawings, where the drawing is all my drawings would come up

If you clicked blog, it would take you straight to my blog

If you clicked twitter, it would take you to my twitter page

If you clicked on facebook, it would take you to my facebook fan page

Beginning my website designs.

PAGE ONE.

First page was just writing down what i'd like to include on my website.

Which sort of work i have, like drawings, sketchbook, illustrations, 3D and photographs.

I would also include a short description about me and what i do- About Me

PAGE TWO.

This is just a rough draft of the layout of the page.

All the websites i have been on i found that i like this layout the best.

Here are some of my favourite websites:

I like this one as it has a logo and a patterned background framing the work.

I like how simple this one is...

Showing you these websites you also get an idea of the sort of work i enjoy looking at.

EXHIBITION!

At Gallery West.

The top half of my work is for the previous brief which was to illustrate two songs, 

I chose Mumford and Sons.

The bottom half were drawings I scanned out of my book and printed them out in A3.

Enjoy.

Sneak peek.

Diesel project.
I've finished one final piece so far (photo to come)
This is a drawing I will be using in my other final piece.

Hold onto what you believe.
