Zansky - Helvete Forest

This is another great illustration by Zansky, I really like the way he uses burgundy lines. The background brown also adds to the effectiveness of the burgundy. it compliments it and is textured, giving it a grainy, dirty feel. The image itself is intricately detailed like his other work and is definitely the right sort of direction in which I want to steer my work.


Other work

This piece of work was a typography exercise where we were told to find type in everyday surroundings. I think I pretty much missed the mark, and went too far with it. I should have just taken photos, but instead I illustrated parts of Leeds new developing skyline and spelled 'Development' with the windows. I liked my final piece but when I saw the others I realised that I had not actually done what I should have done ... Reading the brief properly would have helped.



This work was for a mini brief, where we were instructed to create a postcard to place on a wall in the studio. I drew this cloud, and of course I had to put a face on it, it's so happy!


This illustration is of Admiral Ackbar from Star Wars saying the infamous 'It's a trap!' line. This was done for myself and was my first attempt at using Adobe Illustrator. I liked it, a bit difficult to get to grips with at first, but once you get going it gets easier. I would like to practice using this program as the work that can be made using it is amazing.


This is one of my hand cut cards that I like to make, It is a poor imitation of Rob Ryan's style, but with practice, who knows ...

What is Visual Communication?

 What is Visual Communication? Was an odd module, it felt strange to create a project but not to actually create something substantial. In the end I printed my presentation, so I had something to show at the end.

The project was basically a research lead project which we would then use in creating a brief for our major project. Mine was about recycling in my local borough, I liked this project, it was different and a bit of a challenge for me as we were pretty much left to decide what we wanted to do by ourselves.
