Childern's Picture Book Illustration

The current brief for illustration is children's picture books. We have do complete a single and double page spread for the Book Moon Rabbit by Natalie Russell.

One of the first thing that I wanted to do was to see how a child would draw a rabbit. So I went to the school where my mum works and asked the Reception class to draw me a rabbit (In return I had to draw a golden coach to help the learn about the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and then got roped into sticking pasta on it and helping paint it!). This is a small selection of there drawings.

I then started to create my own rabbit character.

I decided then that I wanted to try and create a 3D rabbit.

The bottom rabbit is the one that I chose to use.

I then made a "set" for each of the pages that I had to illustrate.

These are the final images that I will use once I have added the text.

London

On Wednesday afternoon I went down to London with my Mum and sister. The main reason for going was to see the David Hockney Exhibition at the Royal Academy of Art but as well as this we went to see The Lion King at The Lyceum Theatre in the West End and did some general wondering around London too.

The Lion King. Such an amazing show everything was great the costumes, singing, acting, set design, choreography and make up.

The David Hockney Exhibition was also really good and I was so glad that I had the opertunity to go to this exhibition. There was such as good collection of his work all together.

Working around London there was so much graphic design and typography.

Fortnum and Masons. Exterior and Inside.

We also when to the Ripley Believe It or Not Museum. A Horse made out of plastic utensils, Debbie Harris created with a Cassette tape, Envelope with hidden message and a dress made out of toilet paper.

CD Cover Finals

These are the final designs for my CD Cover Design.

Experimental Typography

The new brief for typography was just 2 weeks long. In the first week we had to use elements from the Radio Times to create three sets of three A4 more visually interesting layouts.

For the second week we could use any magazine to create two A3 layouts.
