A collection of drawings from my sketchbook of my spoon collection. By drawing these i have found that the part of the spoon i am drawn to is the overall form and, as noted in the last set of drawings, I am I going to try to develop one or more characters based on the … Continue reading Collections: Drawing spoons
During the Illustration Application module I have produced 6 illustrations for varying medias and using varying mediums. I tried to keep in mind both the tone and themes of the articles in question to create both an interesting and, where applicable, contemporary illustration that highlighted a key section of the articles text. In the 1st article, … Continue reading A Summary of Illustration Application Module
I decided to add a page of text as the background as I didn't want to distract the viewer from the main illustration but felt there needed something behind the image as both a secondary tie in to books and library and also to make the background a least a little bit interesting. After trying … Continue reading Library festival brochure cover
After success with some similar characters in a previous project, I decided to focus the illustration on books rather than Hereford and sketched a "book dragon" as an idea. I felt this could become a colourful bright illustration that would be attractive to both children and adults. I chose to cut each of the dragon individual … Continue reading Library festival brochure cover
The final cover for this book hasn't changed much from the previous design however I have changed the drawing of Adrian to give it more "action" and to tie into the plot a bit more; with him dealing with the notion of love. I have changed the font to a more child-like handwriting as opposed … Continue reading Book Cover: The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Aged 13 3/4
I created my final image for the cover using a stencilled screen print. I like how bright the colours turned out as previously when I have used opaque ink to print with the colour has been slightly off. After scanning the print I fixed some of the imperfections; i.e. the dark areas around the nose and … Continue reading Book cover: To Kill A Mocking Bird
After reading full summary of the book, I found I wasn't particularly inspired by any plot points so I decided to look at some other "journal" based books. Pinterest Board: https://uk.pinterest.com/bastianmoore/tsdoam/ I came up with a few ideas from the plot but then moved onto to the idea of using a journal page to create … Continue reading Book Cover: The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Aged 13 3/4
As I was coming up with some initial ideas, I originally focused a lot on birds however after a group crit I decided to focus more on one of the first ideas I came up with; the two faces and the noose... As I began thinking the idea of birds was slightly overused, and the … Continue reading Book cover: To Kill A Mocking Bird
As the article was focused on the struggle of H. Floresiensis against the taller, and eventually victorious H. Sapiens, I decided to direct my chosen idea towards this more. Although it is potentially unclear in the final images, I have given the 2 cavemen black eyes, with the intention of a hidden narrative of they … Continue reading Editorial Illustration and Art Directing: “Did Humans kill off the Hobbits?”
I found the task of Illustrating this article rather challenging, and perhaps not in a good way. I feel this was mainly due to the informal and confusing nature of the article, coupled with its somewhat tedious length. It took a fair few reads in order to actually find its USP.
