69 Sex and Typography Poster

Sex and Typography Poster:
This is my finalised version of Robert Brownjohns book cover. I overlapped the 69 pattern, making the opacity lower so the other is leaking in. I decided on using a light grey background with red and dark grey 69 pattern. I prefer this one over my last as my last was a bit dull.

Sex&Typography Book Cover

69 Cover:
Believe it or not this isn't some 99p cheap dirty porn mag, this is in fact my re-designed version of Robert Brownjohn's graphic design book, Sex & Typography. Using the title as inspiration I wanted to create something that linked to Sex as well as Type. I used the number 69 as they both have something to do with both sex and type. I created this shape by connecting two 69's together.

Mysterious Opie Man Spotted Again

Opie Man strikes again:
This is the e-fit image the police have released for the mysterious 'Opie Man' that has been sited on rooftops, hovering over the city and cleaning up the police's f**k ups.
One eye witness, that cannot be named for confidentiality reasons said 'I saw him standing on my balcony, his eyes were all black, his bird like hands were clinging onto the sides of my house. He then turned to me, let out a huge squeak before rapidly flying off into the night with his giant black feathered wings'.
The police did investigate into the accusations and eventually found the culprit, who was the neighbours pet bird. In size comparison, the bird was around 30 times smaller than what the women described, but she then admitted to 'scoffing' a whole lunchbox worth of magic mushrooms.

So who is this man/bird? who knows.

Peter Pan - the flying green man

 Narrative Project:
 These are the silhouettes that i created for my final scenes. I did this by taking photos of my sister, her boyfriend, my brother and my step-sister. I then drew around them on illustrator using the pen tool and filled them in black.
I decided to do the narrative play/story on Peter Pan, but instead of the nice Peter Pan everyone knows, I changed it to a twisted version using quotes which could be scene as two meanings.
This is my first scene for my project. This shows Peter forcing Wendy to go with him by dragging her to the window. I used a quote which could be interrupted in two ways, a nice way or a more twisted way.









This is my final scene, showing Hook about to be eaten by the crocodile.  

Oil Onion and Pepper Pastel

Onion:
This is a oil pastel drawing of this sexy onion. Its purple tanned skin enlightened my artistic ability to produce what i believe as a observation studied portrait of this very fine onion.
The onion shows its inner beauty and innocence by revealing itself in its naked form. Whilst its skin stays well intact, the onion's tender soul reaches out to your tender heart.











Pepper:
This is a oil pastel drawing of a fiery red pepper. Its dark warm skin makes you question his sanity, as it looks as if mr pepper could explode with glorious fury at any point in time.
His fierce green stork, aggressively grows from the top of his head, leaving a sense of confusion from many of the vegetable community.

Flicking The Bean

Baked Bean Type Poster:
This is my bake bean  typeface. I created this by using the sauce from baked beans and dribbling A-Z on a piece of paper. I then scanned it in and worked it up in Photoshop. I made the background green to show inspiration from the Heinz packaging.

Ogre's are like onions


                                                                                      Borough Market Experimentation:

These are some onion prints that i did for my Borough Market Project. I cut half an onion and painted it then placed it on paper to produce these 3 unique onion patterns. I then went on to make them into a wallpaper that could then potentially become a background for a poster etc.
Los Dias De Los Muertos:

This was a poster i created for the Mexican Day Of The Dead Festival for my Ethnic Art project. I created this by drawing out a skull, then a border, then filled it with flowers, music and curvy lines. I then scanned this in and coloured it up on my mac.
