This is the last part of the poem book I created as my FMP (Final Major Project) of my level 3 Graphic Design course.

The book is called ‘A Poet’s Quarry’, it’s called this because it’s a place that inspiration can be found and extracted. All the poems were written by me through out my life and were finished off for the FMP. 

The illustrations that go with the poems were created using mixed media, such as collage, water colour paint, photography, and others. They were first sketched out by hand, then they were edited and coloured in Adobe Photoshop. Some of the illustration also include the latest version of my avatar in them.

The physical book was bound and put together by me by hand.

The book, illustrations, and poems are all created by me.

I didn’t make the fonts.

These are backgrounds I created for the Unit 33 Applied Practice Collaborative project for my HND course in year 2. The project was to create a collaborative presentation on the climate crisis, with a group of people from our class. The group I was in had five people including me, and we all assigned roles to each other for the project. One of my roles was to create the backgrounds for the presentation, as illustration and drawing are two of my strengths. 

I created the backgrounds using my drawing tablet to sketch out ideas based on the climate crisis. I then asked my team members which ones they wanted to use and then finish the final backgrounds for them.

Each background has a name: The green one is called “Green Foliage”, the purple one is called “Melting Ice Cave”,  the blue one is called “Pottery Waves”, the pink one is called “Fire flowers”, and the yellow one is called “Forest Fire”.

The backgrounds were created in Photoshop by me.

This is the final packaging for Unit 19 Packaging Special Delivery in year 1 of HND graphic design. The goal was to create a creative and innovative design to convince people to buy a more premium looking packaging, then make a mock up of said design.

The product I decided to use was a light bulb. I thought a lantern looking design would be a great, and creative idea for the packaging, because the packaging demonstrates where the product could be used. I also thought lanterns look quite elegant thus making it look more premium.

The ribbons are used for both decoration and function, as they are keeping the packaging closed. There is also padding inside to keep the light bulb safe so it wont break.

The net for the packaging, packaging design, and packaging was created by me on Adobe Illustrator, and Photoshop.

The fonts weren’t created by me.

This is a  3D poster that I created for Unit 3 Sustainability of HND year 1. It’s created from biodegradable material, such as card, tissue paper, string, and recycled Easter egg boxes. I cut and glued everything together by hand, as well as plaited the string for extra strength to hold up the poster.

The text says: “Prevent the Change by Making a Change”. The change that needs to be prevented is climate change.

The art piece was created by me.

This is a poem poster I created for a small research project on recent events, I chose the news of Switzerland legalizing same sex marriage. I included imagery that represents Switzerland such as the mountains that are found in Switzerland and their flag. I also included LGBT and same sex marriage imagery such as the LGBT rainbow flag, and the two brides getting married, as well as including colours that represents different pride flags.

The poem was written by me.

The font isn’t mine.

This poster is based on gender fluidity, which was a subject we were studying for my HND course year 1. The rainbow person represents the spectrum of gender possibilities. The pink and blue box they are sitting on represents the binary box of boy and girl that we are put in to, but the person is outside of that box like the saying ‘thinking outside the box’.

The outline was first drawn with pencil and inked with pen. I then edited and coloured it in Adobe Photoshop.

This is a quote poster and font that was created by me for my typography project for HND course year 1. The brief we got instructed us to design a poster for the Ministry of Sound using a song quote of our choice. 

We had to create a font based on that quote we chose. I chose the song quote ‘Garden of Sound’ from the song ‘rock and roll heaven by The Pretty Reckless’. I created a font based on the garden of Eden as the quote reminded me of it, especially paired with the title ‘rock and roll heaven’. I drew the font by hand with pencil first then inked it with pen. I then edited it in Adobe Photoshop. 

I hand painted the background first, then edited it in Adobe Photoshop.

The quote belongs to The Pretty Reckless.

The Ministry of Sound Logo belongs to the Ministry of Sound.

The font was created by me.

This is the full body of the old version of my avatar I created a while back. I plan to redraw this sometime, with her new design.

I first sketched her with pencil then created the final version on Adobe Illustrator.

This is an old design of my avatar that I created a while back. I plan on recreating this sometime in the future with the updated version of my avatar.

This was sketched out then created on Illustrator.

This was a poster that was requested by a staff member at the college that I’m friends with. She requested it after she saw my quote that I created for remembrance day. I drew the illustration for the poster by hand, and edited it on Photoshop to have the quote, and borders on it. It was my first time drawing tigers, so I'm still quite proud of it.

I don’t own the fonts.

This is a Season Greetings digital card design that I created and submitted for my college in a competition to see which would be used. It originally had my college’s name on it, but I removed it for privacy reasons. This was when I was trying out a new art style, which I still love and use.

The character is called Winter and is one of my original characters that I created especially for this.

I first sketched it out by hand, then I used it as a template for the final piece, which was create it in Illustrator, and Photoshop.

I don’t own the font.

This is part two of my Typography and layout booklet. This was created for my typography and layout project for Graphic design level 3 year 2. We were tasked to design a booklet to explain the definitions of typography and layout terms in a creative way. I decided to create animals out of letters and used them through out the book as I thought it was cute and engaging.

This was done on Photoshop and Illustrator.

The illustration, and typography was created and done by me.

None of the fonts belong to me.

This is the illustrated poem page I created for the illustrated poem book, that was sold at our end of year show. It was also a project we had to do for our course, Graphic design Level 3 year 2. We got to choose a public domain poem of our choice, and had to create an illustrated page for it. I chose ‘Rain by Oliver Herford,’ because I love rain, and cats.

It’s a mix media piece that has a water colour painted background, and a inked foreground (the rain, kitten, and girl with umbrella), put together and edited in photoshop.

This was created for our event poster project, for Graphic Design year 2. The project was to create a poster for an event of our choice. I chose the pride parade, because I always wanted to go.

It was created on Illustrator. 

The fonts aren't mine, but the illustration is.

This was for my packaging project from my Graphic Design Level 3 course in year 2. I was tasked to create some packaging that could convince customers to pay more for a cheep product of my choice. we also had to create a physical demo for it. 

I had to create a net for the packaging on Illustrator, and the design for the packaging on Photoshop. I also glued and sewed the handle and front button on.

This was made in college for our branding project in the Level 3 Graphic design course year 1. We were tasked to create our own branding sheet, which included creating a logo for ourselves. This is two versions of my logo that went with the branding sheet.

The font doesn’t belong to me, just the logo.

This is a picture I created on Adobe Illustrator of my teddy cat Kitty, who I love, and cherish dearly.

I created this in college while doing the Level 3 Graphic Design course in year 1. The original picture was just line art for printing, but I liked the it so much that I decided to make it it’s own piece of art.

This was for my Level 2 Graphic Design course for my Vannen Watch project. We had to make a watch design for the company Vannen, based on the new movie at the time “the greatest showman”. 

I chose to base mine on the song “Rewrite the Stars”, as it was one of my favorites at the time, and it had one of my favorite characters singing it, Anne Wheeler.

I drew the line art by hand, then coloured and edited it in Photoshop.

The Vannen Logo belongs to Vannen.

This is a book cover design I created for my Disney book cover project for our Graphic Design Level 2 college course. We got to choose a Disney movie of our choice to design a book cover for. I chose brave, because Merida is my favorite Disney princess.

The illustration was drawn, and coloured by hand, in three separate parts: the background (the ancient stones on the hill), the midground (Merida), and the foreground (the foliage), then I put them together in Photoshop. 

Merida’s hair design was based on Celtic art, because I thought it would fit, and I love Celtic art.

Brave belongs to Disney & Pixar.

The Disney logo belongs to Disney.

The illustration belongs to me.

This is an original character that I drew and inked by hand, then coloured in Photoshop for my vintage project of my Art & Design Level 1 college course. Her name is Poppy spitfire, she’s a robot based on the fighter plane the Spitfire. 

I had to change the hair style because it was to modern. While I was at it I decided to give her a fighter pilot hat. The left one is the original, and the one on the right is the one I edited.

This is a ceramic pot/jar based on my identity, that I created in ceramics, as part of the Art & Design Level 1 course at my college. I’m still quite proud of it.
