These Are Backgrounds I Created For The Unit 33 Applied Practice Collaborative Project For My HND Course

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 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 is the second 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.

This is part one 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 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.
