Playing around.

With the geek picture.
More playing and drawing to come.

This is my tired effort.

BASIC IDEA.

What makes you happy? Self Defined.

These might be the start of my image making.

These are just a rough basic start. 

More will become of them.

Old films make me all happy inside!

Turns out kittens make quite a lot of people happy.

Tomorrow i'm going to go out and take some photos to add to my drawings and this project.

Hope it's good weather for it!

Countryside! YESS!

Yeah i'm back home for easter to lock myself away and get all this work done!

Holly says freshly dyed hair makes her happy.

Charlie in my class says Whales make her happy...

so here you go.

Babies make me happy!

An idea- self defined.

Maybe a book of faces that change when you turn the page.
This i did in my sketchbook and got this idea from it.
Just be happy.

Ideas and research for Self defined.

You can't solve the world's problems so start with the people around you...

What do I make?

I have a couple ideas.

I'll explain later on.

Mothers Day Cards! TYPE project too.

USING MY TYPE.

I didn't have my scanner/printer with me at home so I did these cards by hand,

like I seem to always do.

I drew the flowers onto the card with black pen, and then cut the letters out of a photograph and stuck them on.

Inside i wrote my personal message.

And on the back I drew a red heart.

My Mummy is the most incredible woman in the world!

I didn't really need to say that but... i did.

For Mum.

For Grandma Oma.

LOVE GEEKS.

Just a start.

Not finished.

This is based on the idea of loving geeks

Everyone seems to love the guy from napoleon dynamite.

Gunna add a heart in there tomorrow.

NEW BRIEF! BE HAPPY!

You can't solve the world's problems... so why not start by making the people around you happy?!
This is my project.

FREAK SHOW!!

Liz, Rachel and I are decorating our Student Union bar's tables.

We're painting them white and drawing on top in permanent pens.

It's based on victorian freak show, freak circus. 

Full of patterns and freaks. 

Here is some research.

FONT TYPE- Numbers

Font TYPE 2

Here I'm going to do more cutting out of font.
I could be doing this on photoshop but i prefer doing it by hand and i prefer how it looks when you do it by hand.
What works so well is each letter is so unique yet has such an obvious theme and belong together.

I found this process most successful.

Taking a photo of a design i like, 

print it out,

write the alphabet on the photo in pen,

cut out the letters,

and put it in the scanner.

I should really do my own design.

Font experimentation

I think this is my favourite so far.
Using the photograph i took of the carpet i cut out the alphabet.

I love the colour and pattern which stands out from the plain background and also i like how each letter is so unique.

Font in use

I did want to make my own repeat pattern and use that to cut out the alphabet and numbers to use as my own font.

Font Two.

I tend to draw loads of geometric shapes.

So here i decided to create a font using lines.

I think it was pretty successful and looks quite interesting because of where the lines meet and overlap.

THS is sooo not fun enough!!!!

Got to make this fun!

I like lines.

Font Two and Three.

Here i did some more simple hand drawn lines.

I'm a bit dyslexic so yeah i got the alphabet wrong a couple times.

This is a bit too simple and doesn't look very good to look at.

Looks better up close.

If i had more time i would of liked to of spent more time on each letter,

like one letter per A4 page and really concentrated on creating each letter.

FONT ONE.

Yeah i like this paper.

Was pretty hard to do the alphabet on it because there was no straight line up.

But i like all the geometric lines and shapes you can make.

This made it so much more interesting not being able to draw a straight line up or down but only diagonal.

Looks a bit futuristic.

And the vague colour blue makes it look more interesting instead of having a plain white background.

Yeah i left X out by accident.

And I don't know what happened to K and L.

Starting to find patterns.

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

Hand made middle eastern carpet

Hand made middle eastern carpet

Aztec style sofa

70's patterned matress

Rug.

Rug.

Sofa.

Mattress.

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.
