New York Highlights!

 

 

 

 

 

New York was amazing as ever. Highlights were definitely seeing Mamma Mia on Broadway, going up the Empire State Building, wondering around Central Park, Grand Central Station and Ground Zero. The 26oC was also very nice!

Portfolio

 

As part of my University course, third years get the opportunity to travel New York to show our portfolios to art directors and agencies to get feedback on our work. As stressful as it was making sure my portfolio was together in time for the trip, the helpful feedback and positivity received on my work was greatly received! The lovely people I met from Penguin Young Readers, Painted Words, Holiday House, Herman Agency, Sterling and Clarion Books were incredibly welcoming and all gave me helpful tips to improve my work.

A selection of photos of my tear sheets, business cards and portfolio.

Coral Reef Mermaid ebook page

First finished page of my mermaid e-book/app :D. woo!! Its about a mermaid who needs to find some colourful shells to finish decorating an arts&craft present. The idea is that you would then tap and move objects about to find the shell on the page

Created by cutting out shapes, collarging them together, editing in photoshop and animating in Moglue. Am loving making things move...when it works its totally like a eureka moment!

Mermaid e-book/ app

Editorial Illustration

Hello!!!

This is a picture of a finished speculative editorial illustration for an article about Saudi Arabian women gaining seats in government. Quite pleased with it!...has some big concepts which is different from the usual childrens illustrations i work on. Ideas within the illustration include a door to represent the division between sexes, stick people to symbolise gendered specific areas within government and flying keys to resemble the 'key of success' for the women.

This project went ok! Yay me!...Will deffo have to try out some more editorials....

Have been busy this week preparing for our assessment and presentation deadline. Presentation went as good as it could have done today?....and my work is ready to be handed in tomorrow :) just the dissertation to finish off now....

Playing around with my new colouring pencils... kinda looks ok on top of collage? :)
