Haven't posted a doodle for a while, this is a doodle of one of my favourite pairs of shoes, one of many I might add!

Gifted competition

This is my entry into the gifted competition, the brief was to design a gift bag that would be sold in Marks and Spencers. I decided to keep my design simple and created this hand sewn design. Hope you like it :)

Every home needs a harvey!

I love this advert! I'm a dog lover so it caught my attention straight away.. I want a harvey!

I found the most amazing blogging site!

http://www.artessen.com/

I was just browsing through some arty blogs when I found a link to this website and I am soo glad I did! Its features posts from the top visual designs blogs, its full of creative stuff and the kind of things I love.

meoww bad cat bad cat!

I love the new advert from the natural confectionary company, its simple but funny! Plus they make nice sweets too.

A bear and an elephant

An unlikely friendship..

I drew this after a silly conversation with my boyfriend when we were saying if we were animals he would be an elephant because he eats loads of peanuts and I would be a bear because I eat loads of salmon!

The Brilliant Design lecture

Earlier in the year I went to the Brilliant Design lecture, thought i'd do a post about it because it was such a good day. The day consisted of 6 speakers talking their work and what inspired them as designers. My favorite speaker of the day was by far Mr Bingo, i liked his witty sense of humour and his quirky illustrations. To top the day of I won a poster signed by all the speakers!

First Year work - Typography

The module I enjoyed most this year was typography. I preferred this to the other modules because we were given more freedom in each of the brief's and it involved more designing than the other modules. I think I could have tried harder when I think back and probably started the work sooner! This is something I definitely want to change in second year. Anyway.. here's some work I produced throughout the year.

Type Trumps

I came across these on the firebox gadget website, I thought it was pretty cool so decided to share it!

Positive Posters Competition

I recently entered the Positive Posters competition, the brief was to design a positive poster in keeping with the theme 'A Glass Half Full'. I created a hand sewn piece of work which I then scanned into my mac, I'm definitely more of a hands on artist! Again because i'm pretty rubbish at photoshop I wasn't too sure how to tidy it up so I entered as it was, I think it would have looked better tidied up but I was happy with the image I created so I entered it anyway!

Rob Ryan

During the Yorkshire Sculpture Park project I visited the park with my group. Rob Ryan had an exhibition at the time we visited which I was very excited about as he's one of my favorite artists. I love his cut outs, I discovered his work while I was at Leeds College of Art, it inspired me to have a go at cut outs myself, this is a book I made during a project at college..

i like flowers

A doodle from a few months ago, i love floral patterns so thought i'd have a go myself!

First Year work - YSP Project

A project I particularly enjoyed was the Yorkshire Sculpture Park project. This was a group project where we were given a brief which was to encourage new target markets to join the friends scheme at the sculpture park. I think the group I was in worked well together compared to the previous group I was in for the Pearly Kings and Queens group project. I also think for this project we were given more freedom to express our idea's, we chose professional couples as our target audience and created a range of products for the home that were based around woodland creatures.
