General.

Not necessarily have i changed my style for these projects but used a range of mediums and techniques as well as my typical drawing style.
Choosing Mumford and Sons it scared me that i chose such a folky band when my work is very dark... but i adapted very well by using collage.
And for my self initiated project the same happened.
I chose to do something so happy and cheerful when normally my work isn't.
But having so many ideas and using to many mediums and combining them together i created a happy piece of work.

Billboard

And here is an example if it were a billboard.

I'd love to see this final piece as a stage set and an instillation.

If i had time i would of made a 3d instillation.

When you don't have time on your hands... 

photoshop is your friend.

Trying.

to show you what i mean.

Here i'm showing you it as a window display

ideally it would be a 3d window display not just one big flat image/poster

with the trees at the back of the window display and the figures being more in front.

LIKE A SET!

that's what i'm trying to say.

It would be like stage set, with props, wall hangings and figures.

Reinventing.

Using one of my final pieces here i have shown how it would be presented.
My designs would be every where in the shop but also just parts of it like a flower hanging down from the ceiling. Little things make a huge difference.
It would have a magical feeling, and definitely give off a feeling that mumford and sons do.

Just an example

I will try and do more to show what i mean.

Blood, sweat and tears.

Was getting agitated and anxious about the fact i haven't had anything to blog about the last couple of days.

Just been busy doing my greeting cards and sorting my portfolio out.

So much blood, sweat and tears has gone into this module.

I really hope it pays off.

I took two of my drawings and part of the lyrics to 'white blank page' by mumford and sons.

Works nicely.

I like the composition and use of negative space.

It's simple but effective.

Second song illustration.

Hold onto what you believe.

This is my final FINAL piece.

I wanted to do this like i did the previous one...

all by hand, cut out and stuck on to give it more texture.

If i had my own way I'd have this and my other final piece every where in hmv and music shops.

with trees and flowers every where and hanging down from the ceiling,

so when you walk into the shop you feel like you're in mumford and sons world.

TRYING to try and show this on photoshop at the moment.

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.

Will you lie next to her and give her your heart?

The next couple blogs will be about the D&AD brief for Diesel i attempted.
I had to choose a band/artist, and two of their tracks and illustrate them (BASICALLY)
I chose Mumford and Sons, White blank page and Hold onto what you believe.

An early sketch.

Drawings and lyrics.

Here what i was doing was looking at each line of lyrics and drawing what came to mind.

You'll see what I do with these flowers later on.

Drawings.

Mumford and Sons- Diesel project
Every time I would draw I would read the lyrics,
I think my downfall is I keep listening to the songs and looking at what I've done
and if i don't think it felt right i would keep drawing more to try and get it right.
So i have done two whole sketch books just full of drawings, so i have quite a choice to choose from.

Mumford and sons.

Here are some of the cut outs i used in my final pieces for this project.

I think i spent more time cutting out then i did actually drawing.

I miss drawing!!

MY TREE!

Diesel project:

My photographs made into an actual tree.
So amazed I did it how I wanted it to look

I went out and took many photographs to try and capture the feeling i get from the band 'Mumford and Sons'
I thought all my photographs were very unsuccessful, but this proofs me wrong?
From this i got an idea for what my final piece might be like.
The Idea of having to collect loads of different pieces to connect them to make a picture as a whole?

Best photographs.

Some more photographs I took for this project.

Might use these in a collage.

First experimentation.

First experimentation for the Diesel project.
I cut out tree shaped and a drawing i did.
Then photographed it.
I didn't stick down the tree properly so they would hang over the paper so when i photographed it there would be shadow.

(I'll scan in the whole thing later)

A few.

Scanned some bits out of my book.

Finished one final piece so far but what i'm going to do with it 

I am unsure yet.

These drawings I haven't used in my final piece.

Style's got to change to suite Mumford and Sons.

Just because

I haven't blogged for so long.
I love the library having thousands of old magazines.
