Briefs

Compliment slip

Im not completely happy with this similar to my CV however these are my initial designs and i do plan on developing these further throughout my 3rd year as i establish my own style further and gain more understanding of setting up my own website and identity.

Invoice design

Website idea

Well this is what i have got to so far! im not completely happy with it but i am happy with individual aspects of it. My weakness has always been putting bits together so it looks good, again i have fallen at the last hurdle! i think when i get back to uni and have some help and advice from some tutors and my friends this will over all be much more successful. Unfortunately also i have not been able to create the website as i dont no how which is very frustrating! especially when i see so many people have made them over the summer. There is definitely something missing from them and i just cant quiet grasp what so any comments will be very helpful :) cheers

Lilla Rogers

Whilst looking on Carolyn Gavins blog (another favourite illustrator) i saw an interesting link to this page, Lilla Rogers is an illustration agency that represents illustrators internationally. Iv posted this link not only for the references but their website is so fun and interactive, its got a really handmade feel to it which i really like. I especially like the artists page it reminds me of a family tree. This is the sort of look i wanted for my website, but when ever i sit down to drawn something handmade to scan in which looks in this similar style i always feel it looks so unprofessional, but this website seems to have hit it somehow it just makes you want to look at it all. Iv just had a quick look through the rest of the illustrators............... i love them all and want to be them and blog them! jealous is not the word! ha

I almost forgot to add i think this could be a useful source for me to send my work to and get some feedback especially as iv heard nothing from everyone else i have contacted!

Kate Slater

Kate Slater is my new all time favourite Illustrator! she only graduated in 08 but she has achieved so much already, i am now beginning to aspire to her level or craftsmanship! She works with flat collage of paper cut outs and uses wire to suspend the illustrations. Looking through her portfolio has really opened my eyes to see that my style of work can be spread across a much larger range of media than i first thought and has definitely given me a kick into developing my collage style further rather than just touching on in, i can take it further and still have a really professional finish!
