Illustrating a book cover...

Recently, I was asked to illustrate a book cover by the author Marilyn Boardman. The novel is based in the Yorkshire market town of Wetherby, and is part of 'The Crumbs Mysteries'. I was told what was wanted on the cover, and then produced the cover using Illustrator, and we are both very happy with the result!

Butterfly photography

Here are a couple of photographs taken at the Butterfly Park, Long Sutton, along with a painting. I am a bit scared of butterflies and moths, but managed to get some decent photographs!

Autumn/Winter 10/11- Whats in store for Martin Margiela???

I am currently doing a project based on the designer, Martin Margiela. I have thoroughly research his previous collections, background, stores and style. I have researched trends for Autumn Winter 2010/2011 in order to create my own moodboard, picking out key things that Margiela would. I have created a customer board, moodboard and fabric board. This means that I am now up to the part I like best: the designing!! I will update you on this project soon, showing you the designs created from this inspiration. The work above shows Margiela's previous collection, the moodboard and customer board.

A Few Designs

This was some work that I did for All Saints, including both menswear and womenswear. I have selected a womenswear moodboard and womenswear tops inspiration board, along with a few designs. I think my flat drawings have already improved from last year. This work was for year 1 of university. I love the originality of the moodboard, but I think that my designs don't show off the individuality of the mood enough...
