Think Crime!

This was my perfect crime, it took me a long time to do this as I didn't want to do it by hand. The story behind this is a restaurant serves human meat, they kill people, but to get rid of their evidence they serve it in a restaurant and the customers seem to really like it! I chose to keep it in the same colour scheme to make it look like a comic book, but I found it really hard to keep the first box in the colour scheme, I also left that to last as it was the most difficult box to do, as I couldn't come up with how they would commit the murder! I also wanted to add a few more boxes at the beginning showing why they murdered the victim, but I didn't have enough time for the deadline as it took me about a week to complete it. 

Typography Cookbook.

This was a project which challenged my baking skills. I have never baked before, so it was something new and fun! There were times where I found it extremely hard, as I had to make sure the mould was secure and it wouldn't leek out or over rise. For the mould, I used cardboard and stuck it together with selo-tape. This took me about 30 minutes as I wanted to make sure it was right. I then wrapped all of the mould in foil, just to make sure it wouldn't catch on fire. I then began baking, chocolate fudge cake! i found the recipe online, and followed it through. End product, it was ok. Not the best, was really dry and hard in some places! A fun project indeed.

Top Trumps!

For this project I had to create me own Top Trump card, I was given the template but I then had to edit it all to fit my card, it challenged my ability of using illustrator and indesign as I have not used them a lot, it was hard to get the hang of, but the tutorials my tutors gave me was really good! Here is my card, it took me one nights to do the best I could as there was a lot of learning to do.

Wing Of a Bee 2.

This is the colour version of the wing of a bee project. As I didn't read the brief properly where it said it had to be in full colour! This is the end result.

Wing Of A Bee.

With this project we had two weeks to complete, after coming up with designs after designs this was the one i came up with. I wanted something to do with floral, but at the same time not to make it look so feminine. I then went on to go with the theme of Nature. This was actually my second design, as the first one it wasn't really communicating well according to my feedback sheet. It took me about 3 days to complete the hand drawn version on A2. But with the illustrated version it was a totally different story. As I have never used illustrator before, this was a big challenge for me, even with the illustrator tutorial with my tutor Dan, I still found this very hard. In the end it took me about a week and a half to finish this. But I am very happy with the final outcome.

100 New Uses For A Brick Part 2.

The second part of the project was to complete the 100 new uses of a brick digitally. I used photoshop as I don't know how to use illustrator well, I used the pen tool to create all my brick designs and used the typeface 'Arial' to label each design. It took me a few days, but the end product I am very satisfied with. 

100 New Uses For A Brick.

The first part of the project was to draw out 100 new uses for a brick, it was a challenging task, but very fun as it worked with your imagination and I was able to see how much I went out of the box, here are my 100 sketches that I completed during today's lesson.
