This Is The Last Part Of My Illustrated Book Called A Tale Of A Patchwork Goblin, Which I Created For

This is the last part of my Illustrated book called ‘A Tale of a Patchwork Goblin’, which I created for my FMP (Final Major Project) of my HND Graphic Design course in my second year.

The story of the book is about a girl who finds out that she is different from most others and her journey through a world that’s not designed for people like her. I wrote the story myself using my avatar and my experiences as a neurodivergent person with a touch of fantasy mixed in. I used fantasy creatures as a metaphor for neurodivergent people as I, a neurodivergent person, feel like at times I’m something completely different from others due to how people treat me and how the world just isn’t designed for people like me. I created the book to raise awareness for neurodivergent people and what we must deal with in a world that isn’t designed with us in mind.

I was the one who designed, drew, and edited the illustrations that go with the story. I first sketched and inked the characters and the items they are interacting with by hand, then I edited and coloured them all in Photoshop, using either the paint bucket tool or the textures that I took pictures of and edited myself. I painted the background by hand using gouache paint and edited it in Photoshop, to fit with the aesthetic of the book. The borders were drawn in Photoshop using my drawing tablet and then edited and coloured. The font for the title was created by me, it was created for another project, but I decided to use it for this one as well, as it went with the design of the book.

I printed out the pages and bound them by hand using a variation of the kettle stitch. I also created the covers using fabrics, paint, and string, and I created a bookmark ribbon to go with it. I then put everything together and decided to add two of the lino prints that I carved and printed myself to the inside of the covers.

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

I only created the title font the rest of the fonts weren’t created by me.

This Is An Old Creative CV I Created For My Graphic Design Level 3 Course In Year 2. Some Information

This is an old creative CV I created for my Graphic Design level 3 course in year 2. Some information was removed for privacy reasons.

The illustration of the CV was loosely based on a cartoony version of space, because it was something I was experimenting with at the time, and enjoyed drawing. I also included an old version of my avatar as she was a representation of me at the time. The colours of the illustration are directly from my avatar.

The fonts don’t belong to me, but the illustration, and avatar does.
