Moving on;

I recently received a letter from  the UCA in Canterbury confirming my place on the foundation degree in Art & Design, i am really interested in doing this course as it will help me chose my path in the style of art. As currently i really like the illustrative style, although i am not confident in just going straight into a BA in illustration. As i feel i want to expand my portfolio, skills & techniques and i can do this in this course and widen the variety in my portfolio the course will also help me decide if illustration is really what i want to do or if there is another style i may enjoy more or be better in.

First year; Camo poster

Above, is  a Camouflage image i created in illustrator in the 1st year of my national diploma, i created by creating outlines around three different styles of bags then changing the opacity and layering them on top of one another, i then created a poster out of the CAMO by cropping the image and adding a Radley logo & product to create an advertisement for handbags.

Packaging; finals

Above is my collection of packaging for Asquith & Somerset soap company, a set of three different scents of soap, coffee & cream, apple & cinnamon & cherry & vanilla, i have changed the scents from my previous design's as the colours can now represent the scent of the soap, i also changed the label on the front of the packaging by removing the circular background behind the type to a simple rectangle shape to hold the type as it looks more sophisticated and professional, i also removed the imagery as the colours now represent the scent so they are not needed i also feel they made the product look at lower end of the market.

The Show; Putting up the show.

Above are images taken after we all helped to put up the show, doing jobs such as 

printing work

mounting work 

measuring the wall

adding artwork to the wall

collecting photo's of the class to upload onto an mac for visitors to see

creating websites to add to a mac for visitors to look at

cleaning up the work space ready for visitors

above, are pictures of the room once all the work had been put on to the wall ready for the show to start.

Narrative; Finals

Above is a materials techniques and processes experiment i scanned my narrative in and edited the levels in photoshop to clean up the hand made errors i then removed the type then by using the warp text tool i created type to flow in with the design and repeated it along the bottom of the design.

Narrative; Finals

Above are two of my finals for my narrative project they are collage illustrations of sections from the Roald dahl story George's marvellous medicine, my third illustration is currently up in the show i will add this at a later time.

FMP;final design

Above is my final idea as i posted before it is very similar to my oat idea i just added imagery to reflect the fashion side of things.

FMP; FINISHED

I have finished my FMP, i have many idea's i have created although i stuck with the design i had first but from feedback from tutors and other students i realised my past ideas didn't have any relevancy's to fashion just the trash side of things so in my design i added a image of a Gary Harvey recycled fashion model, if i had longer to do my project i would have created my own full size garment and arranged for a photo shoot so that all the photography was my own. however i created a book also including small cut out images of outfits i made from recycled materials & 3 doll (barbie sized) outfits to show how recycled fashion can still look glamorous.
