3 magazine spreads

Image
For my last studio practice project I created three double page spreads to be published in a magazine. The first one is of a particular way to describe something about myself. So I made a visual image of my own palm hand lines, that shows which line consists of my own life. The second article is about a shop I had to advertise of my own choosing. I chose to illustrate the Bumper Bookshop store, which is a café and also book store for children. I thought this way it would give me chance to illustrate and compare a shop with two different purposes. Finally the third spread is of anything that I wanted to illustrate of my own imagination. For that I produced a mixture of owl constellations as a way of creating an inspiration into the minds of others.

Seven Stories Competition

 For my second studio practice project I entered a competition for illustrating a double page spread of a children's story book. It's the story about the pig's going to the market, eating roast beef and running all the way home. Only this time its in two different cultural versions of English and Jamaican, showing the different concepts of both cultures on either side. I produced four separate type of drawings in one story each. This way it would make people understand the entire concept of the story visually, without even reading the text.   Add caption

Studio Practice project 1

  Final outcome of the whole case of the aquarium For my Studio Practice project, I presented a show case (vintage case) with a set of images placed in a single well researched location, that could relate to my Reflective Practice project of fantasy creatures. To produce a well thought location, I decided to take photos of some buildings along the seafront of Hastings. Along the way I came across some shops, museums and the Bluereef aquarium. In the end I thought the Bluereef aquarium would be prefect for a scenery to create my own underwater creatures. Instead of having them placed in a museum, which could take them out of their natural habitat. After looking and studying the sea life in the aquarium and get some photo references, I drew some new fantasy creatures that can live underwater. To make the creatures stand out more and look more 3D within the background I created a mobile inside the case to hang each creature individually and m...

Final reflective practice

Front cover Back cover For the final outcome of the reflective practice project I made a colouring book of all of my creatures, so can it be sold in stores. The target age group for this colouring book was aimed towards a mature age group. I was even thinking of making these creatures more commercially for example making game cards, stickers, jigsaws and other various products out of them. I had created eleven outline drawings with enlarged images and descriptions of the creatures and wondered if they could be presented as a finished book and how simplistic would this book need to be to target the right age group.        Double page layout    Fantasy creature Fantasy creature Fantasy creature  What I enjoy the most in illustration is creating more of my own fantasy creatures, like my previous ones, but adding more features to...

Storyboard  Storyboard This storyboard is part of my 3 investigation before I started college again. It's a storyboard that could turn into a stop motion animation video, or a narrative print. Again it's about fantasy and includes one of my own creatures that I made during my previous projects. Storyboard Storyboard

Mythical creatures of the island of Mythifica, Final major project

 Front cover  Title  Contents and Introduction  One of the main pages    Incentagonfly Pinserpharus    Parapion Turizardal This is all based on my final major project of my Illustration course. It's about creating a guidebook called Mythical creatures of the island of Mythifica. My focus was to present these creatures from the fantasy island whilst describing their individual unique composition. Going forward I'm thinking with these creatures I could also create cartoons, stop motion animation videos, puppets, trading cards and illustrations.
