designing for myself

had a rare bit of free time to do a bit of personal work, think it’s important to not forget about my own work with all the freelance stuff going on. moving down Brighton on Friday as well, currently emailing people for jobs trying to get my foot on some sort of ladder.

simple simon

Some new illustration work, will all be brought into my final major project at some point. I’m quite pleased with it but I feel as though David Foldvari is rubbing off on me slightly too much, but to be honest it’s the direction my work is going in at the moment, the more simple hand-drawn stuff moving away from the vector style illustration.

the image used is also being used in grizzly old bear t-shirt, which will be u shortly once all the final bits are done.

also another quick note, for new designers;  GoMedia (www.gomediazine.com) has some great advice on it, real designers who actually know what they’re talking about giving some insight into the whole industry.

some new illustrations & a little rant

here’s a few new illustrations, originally they were random bits of work i did, but due to my lack of work i tied them into my final university project which is centered around happiness. also just had an assessment which from my eyes can only be described as a shambles. My interest in the course is dissapearing quickly, with the briefs we get and the way they ask us to work, it’s meant to be a self-directed study but once i produce work they tell me to do it differently. so i reckon i’m not going to do too well for this module and what may be worse is it actually doesn’t bother me that much. but anywho, lifes a bitch and then you die, my dad taught me that.

 

 

tube type…

here’s something i’ve been working on for a university project, the brief is called “3 minutes” and ask to produce a piece of print work relating to something you can do/happens/relates to 3 minutes in some way. i was looking at 3 minutes that could change history in some way. and chose the 7/7 bombings in london, looking at the 3 minutes before it happened as the bombers were on the underground. anyway, here’s a typeface i made from the london underground map, this is just showing an example of it haven’t quite finished the whole alphabet yet but will be up  when i have. 

random work

back in the game…

been off the radar for a bit, went  on holiday for a couple of weeks and had to turn down a flyer design which was a pain, but since then i’ve been back working doing a few logos, a few posters. i’ve also just finished the cover illustration for UWE magazine which will be up soon once its been cleared. here’s a few posters i’ve been doing one for “soul Shaker” a breaks night in bristol and the other an illustration for my mate who’s a big radiohead fan.
