Mac book stickers

Beginning of something beautiful and will soon to be a overlay portfolio of my work on my laptop

Coming together

Now I have a little income I can get my designs printed, I bought a few t's and vests the next step was choosing which design went on what colour.

After what was a good 20 minute waste of my own time I chose the colours and designs.

The next step was working out the scale the designs had to be and to reformat the photos.

Once this was done I made a high quality list featuring the answers and tomorrow I will begin to print.

Product

These are the final products printed off, 36 fliers with return slips on the side and one poster to promote the event within the bar at Carlton barracks.

The prints came out very well and the illustration looks great on a physical context.

Christmas party at 269 invites and promotional poster

For the artillery's christmas party I have been asked to produce a 'poster' for the event, the theme of the event is warrior, I have lost the illustrations development but I thought that it would be a great idea to incorporate a really masculine character for the party which was recent and inspirational which is when I chose to use spartans 300 for the promotion but with a little alteration, in this particular alteration I chose to change the type around to the battery's regiment number which is 269, the hosts and location of the party.

I was also asked to do something which could be handed out to each member who regularly occurs the battery functions, I was asked to make 30 hand outs... the printer tricked me and as a result I have 36. to keep the theme army related I made a risky move of combining two colours that are not best friends in the colour wheel, but as a result it ended up working out really well and has kept a military theme.

Type wise I was asked to keep the type clear, I chose to use helvetica in white, which looks really good

type time

For the front magazine one of the limitations I set for the brief was to leave the typeface but use the skeleton to improve on it, I decided as the illustrations where my main inspiration for the magazine It seemed plausible to give the type a hand rendered structure to make it more jagged and unstable to best display a halloween character.

Once the outline was complete I added texture to each letter using a narrow ended calligraphy brush focusing in on reversing the spikes towards the letter and back out.

Once complete I added some halloween like colours I thought green orange and purple would be the best suited colours for this particular theme.

I found orange to obvious

and I was not sure about purple or green so I chose to experiment a little further with both.

I took away the black outline and thought that this looked pretty cool as a result.

I added deeper tones to give the letters some real character.

In the end I thought that green was a good choice for the colour but I am yet to decide wether or not I will use this particular typeface, I am going to experiment further with other ideas meanwhile.

Hendrix

Skeleton of the illustration, I really like how the stroke work looks around the hair and body.

I chose to leave hendrix minimal due to the factor that it is the afro that really shows his identity.
