Simply Himelyn

I was contacted by one of my friends to design a logo and a business card for her, reflecting the rococo style as well as her personal style. As it was my first time working with a client outside of uni - like my music clients - I immediately took up the notion. Over a couple of days I had managed to compile a logo design as well as a business card.

Tsunami Tides In My Eyes

Lyrics from Ed Sheeran - U.N.I

Ed Sheeran has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard; his lyrics are just so amazing and I always get a bit emotional when I listen to his songs.
I came up with the idea of creating a typographic poster featuring my favourite line from his song "U.N.I" because they explain what I'm currently going through. I wanted to do something that mixes type and illustration so voila! I painted a wave with watercolour and combined that with type.

Love Letter

(This would've been a lot more suitable if I had done this yesterday, on Valentines Day. Just shows how annoying my brain is).

Yay I finally got something new to show you all! :D

Just done this about half an hour ago and I feel so good because it felt like I hadn't done any art in ages. I just wish I had this idea yesterday because it would be perfect for Valentines Day... Oh well, I guess this is a late "Happy Valentines Day" to my wonderful followers!

Tools | Biro, yet again. Eurgh I love using it so much <3 Oh and felt tip for the heart. 

One Day Project with Carlos Garde-Martin

An artist known as Carlos Garde-Martin visited our uni on Friday to "teach" us new methods to allow ourselves to broaden our minds a bit. Our new project brief was to create something out of unusual materials, so we brought all kinds of stuff with us like string, ribbon, paint... It was really fun!

I worked on the "marking" and "collage" tables, and boy I had a good time. It was really nice to just sit down and splatter paint across the page without thinking of the outcome, but simply because I wanted to.

Tried out using PVA glue to form the words until I realised it was going to dry clear... Whoops.

Messing around!

I wasn't as keen on the collage as I don't think it's my strongest point, but I still had fun just cutting up random pieces and placing them all together onto the page.

Elf Sketch

You can tell I've been reading way too much LOTR

Here's a little picture of what I'm working on right now! I did actually start this a couple of weeks back and worked on it whenever I got the chance. Today I have finally finished doing the biro details around the main character.

I'm a bit stuck on what to do for the background though... Ho hum.

Proof of Contact With Client

I contacted my client mostly through phone calls but initially I had emailed him just so I could gather some basic information.

Here's a screenshot as proof that I had contacted them through email:

And here's another showing what he wanted in his designs:

Now I am unable to take a photo of all of the phone calls I had with him, unfortunately, but I have been able to get my most recent one with him.
