Power Nap Poster

I was given a completely free reign for this poster for the production 'Power Nap' which has a super hero theme. Seizing the opportunity, I decided to geek it up and design a poster with the comic book-esque panels, and went on a photo shoot with the actors.

Everything went well until it went for print, where the performing artists decided to ridicule me and slap a shitty comic book filter over the top of the poster and print it on pink sugar paper. Needless to say I was furious, but in the end it was all sorted out and they printed out decent quality posters.

Grillust (our course blog) commented on the issue in a rather humorous fashion: click here!

Self Promotion Stationery

My own stationary, consisting so far of a business card, letterhead and compliment slip. I will design a mailer/envelope soon in the similar style, and I hope to incorporate the triangular pattern onto my website at some point. I may change my business card too, I want something a little more memorable and eye catching.

Experimental Newspaper Spreads

After having my work scrutinised by tutors as always being 'Safe' I finally snapped and have designed something experimental for a change, and to my own surprise, I actually quite liked making it! More to come soon!

Ashdown High Poster

This is the poster for Ruth Stapleton's original production on the 25th October, in Stanwix Studio Theatre, I was asked to design it simple, yet eye catching, which I' think I've achieved pretty well!

Transition Monograph

I was asked to create an A5 booklet with cover, based on the word 'Transition.' I decided to primarilly use photography and patterns instead of typography for a change, to give the impression of transition through the spreads.

Birthday Card - Dad 2011

My Dad loves cricket, and also plays in a local team, so I thought this would be ideal for him! I'm still not amazing at illustration but I feel I'm improving! I especially like how the sweater pattern stays vertical rather than flowing with the creases.
