So the final total is in and altogether, we have got together £114.25 for Hope HIV, thrashing our £100 target! I am very pleased,and it was good to see all us students get our work out there for people to see! Well done and thanks to everyone who helped out! 
This poster and card was just a quick design that I did for an Art and Design exhibition that I am organising in September, to raise money for a charity called “Hope HIV”. At a Festival called Spring Harvest I was given £10, and asked to turn it into £100, and the idea is that you think of an interesting idea to raise the money and the proceeds go towards that charity. Although slightly nervous, I am looking forward to the exhibition and hopefully we will manage to raise enough money
This logo was designed for a soap company called ‘Lather and Co’, as part of a competition. I wanted the logo to simple and classy as it is a boutique, but I also wanted to have something subtley creative in there, so I included 3 little bubbles. I think overall the design works well, and I did some colour options for labels which you can see here…..
The client wanted subtle, pastel colours, and I think these in particular work really well. Overall I am pleased with it…let’s see if it wins or not!
This is a poster design that I did to accompany the book cover for ‘The Kite Runner’, using the same design features as the book.
Recently I went to an event called ‘The Big Church Day Out’, which is a day that showcases a variety of different Christian musicians, including Toby Mac, Tim Hughes, Brenton Brown, Hillsong United, and my favourite of all….Switchfoot. It was a truly exceptional gig, and my friend Emma took some really great photos there, so I decided to knock up a quick illustration for it, including the lead singer Jon Foreman.
I’m doing a flash project at the moment, and when researching flash animations, this one was my favourite. I first watched these about 2 years ago and also have a book on them…they are pure genius! I love them!
I was recently browsing debutart.com when I came across the work of Oscar Wilson. I really love his stuff and here are a few of his pieces that I particularly admire. I love the bold selection of colours used within these pieces and that the images are made out of typography. Not only this, the type used within them is so carefully designed to mould the specific shape and it is so effective. I love them!
This was just a spontaneous design that I came up with…I was thinking of this verse, and thought about what it meant on a wider scale. The idea of having a bright white light amongst darkness is there to represent how we ourselves can bring good into a world that is full of darkness; poverty, illness, disasters. The light is there to show hope and signify a route for escape / release from this.
