Surrealism Inspired Fish

A clay sculpture of a fish inspired by Salvador Dalí. Used for a final piece in GCSE Art.

Final Major Project Exhibition

This is the exhibition to mark the end of my two year Graphic Design course and the final major project.

My idea was to create a film premier style display, which would include red curtains and carpet, a silhouette audience, gold barriers around the red carpet and my poster design in place on the wall to resemble a cinema screen.

The Titanic poster was my main piece of work, with the display just there to create a little interest. I also added my Hansel and Gretel cutout on the blank board next to mine.

Minimalist Titanic Poster

This is my minimalist Titanic poster recreation which was produced for the use in my exhibition at the end of the final major project at college.

It was inspired by the work of Emma Butler, who produced a set of minimalist posters, which only included the most memorable props and items from that film.

Movie Quotes

Various famous quotes from different well known movies. This was part of the development work for my final major project which I based on movies and there posters.

Daily Deviation

When I visited deviantART art earlier today I was not prepared for what I would find; so many new messages and so many favourites, most on one piece of work too. At first I was very confused like how could this happen, but I soon realized my hands alphabet photo had been added to the websites Daily Deviations page.

This is the first day I have actually felt like uploading work to the internet was actually worth doing. Previously I was getting one or two people looking at my work. So when I visited this morning you can imagine how surprised I was and the feedback messages haven't stopped rising since.

This has made me so proud, I feel like I must upload more work now to compete with it.
Anyway thank you so much ChewedKandi for featuring Hand Alphabet in Daily Deviations today, and thank you everyone for all the favourites, comments and new watchers I have received.
If you haven't already seen the picture in question here are some links: deviantART and Here in my Blog.

Hot Rod Photoshoot

My dad’s car in a photo shoot at the Kelvedon Hatch secret nuclear bunker.

Wall Frames

The first stage of the re-decorating of my room. Paper photo frames cut out from a newspaper, stuck onto my wall. 

I will upload more photos when these frames are filled and continuously as I complete other bits and pieces.

Hands Alphabet

The alphabet created by painting the letters on my hands while trying to produce the correct shape.

Now On YouTube

Today I have decided to create a new YouTube account where I can upload real videos and clips that I produce. My old account was full of rubbish, some that I "borrowed" from other people, this new account will have nothing of that kind.
Currently I have not yet uploaded anything, but in the coming weeks I will make it my goal to do so.

Artists Movements Timeline

Here is the timeline I produced for my most recent college project about the artists and movements of the past 150 years, which relate to graphic design.
I designed it to be a very graphic piece of work, and that is why it is almost entirely produced in Photoshop. This  was for my final piece and has been printed out on A1 paper; of course it looks better large in its full glory.

Paper Cut Out

Hansel and Gretel paper cut out, inspired by the work of Rob Ryan.

Photo-Realistic Eye

Photo-realistic eye observational drawing. Used regular artists drawing pencils.

Photogram

This is an image I produced sometime last year and was originally meant to be used as a photogram. The black silhouette has been created from two photographs I took on holiday in Nice and Monaco; it was this part that I produced the photograms from. After I had finished experimenting in the dark room I decided I could produce something else out of the image, this is when I added the sunset background on Photoshop, printed and presented inside the decorative frame.

Photosynth

I recently found this website called Photosynth which creates amazing interactive 3D scenes out of your photographs.
}Photosynth takes your photos, mashes them together and recreates a 3D scene out of them that anyone can view and move around in.~
I so far have only tried it out once and surprisingly the results were very impressive.
Below I will post my first "synth", this is nowhere near as good as some of the others featured on the site, even though I am very pleased and will defiantly be using this site more whenever I get a chance too.

Recreation of Vincent van Gogh's Starry Night

For my latest college project I have been asked to research and gain an understanding of all the most significant artists, movements and designers of the last 150 years. The movements I started with were Impressionism, Post-Impressionism and Expressionism. One of the most significant artists of this time was Vincent Van Gogh.
Starry Night is one of Van Gogh's most famous and well known works, it is a perfect example of what I believe Impressionism to be. The original painting is currently in the Museum of Modern Art, in New York city.
Below this post you can see my recreation of Starry Night that I recently produced using watercolour paints.

Personal Bodies Alphabet

This is my first post displaying some work so I thought I should make it personal.

This alphabet idea was inspired by the work of Malika Favre, I produced these designs for a typography project during the second year of my graphics course. All three parts were completely designed and produced on Photoshop which took a lot longer that I had originally planned for.

Welcome

Hello and welcome to my new blog. I plan to use this page to display all of my creative work, including all my designs and ideas, photography and any other arty things that I produce. Basically anything creative that I am personally pleased with or anything that I think you may be interested in.

I will try to post here as often as I can but due to so many college deadlines I cannot guarantee anything.
Anyway hope you do come back often to check out my new work and developments.
