Final Illustration

This is the background for the final illustration for Skelllig.

 

Using collage and image transfer.

The finished piece.

Illustration: It's getting there!

Continuing on the Skellig brief I have yet more experiment.

These images above use just a normal collage technique (cutting and sticking) to add a bit more detail to the scene.

These images however use an image transfer method. I uses white acrylic paint which i them placed printed images right side down in to the paint (shown in the image at the top of this section), after letting the paint dry the paper can carefully be rubbed away to leave the images. This technique works well for this brief as it does not leave a perfect image so links well to the worn used feel of the garage.

Graphics!

Finally got round to uploading some graphics work!

Some layouts for my typography modual.

New Illustration Brief Continued

So I've been working more on my new illustration brief. Looking at collage and continuing experimentation with stenciling.

New Illustration Brief

So in Applied Illustration Practice we have had a new brief. Similar to the last brief however this time we can use colour and are producing a whole page illustration. This brief is using an extract from the book Skellig by David Almond.



So researching I looked in to tea chests and thought about that reclamation yard near where I live, Les Oakes and sons in Cheadle Staffordshire.

I then started to look at the text on the tea chests. I produced this look using a stencil hand cut from card and the LetraSet LetraJet with ProMarkers.



Had a bit of a mishap on the Skellig on accidentally pressed the trigger on the LetraJet. Oops!

I'm Back

Been really busy because I went home last wednesday, but I'm back now. So what's been happening, well, a lot really.
Finished off the first Applied Illustration Practice brief.

Titles

Back to Applied Illustration Practice, looking at the title of each chapter and how they can be visualised.
