This Is The Second Part Of The Poem Book I Created As My FMP (Final Major Project) Of My Level 3 Graphic






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.
The first part of the book is here: https://majboughey.tumblr.com/post/709520855673225216/this-is-the-first-part-of-the-poem-book-i-created

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 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.

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.
