Game Characters

Using Egypt myth and other ancient stories related I created a set of 3 characters related with my story. I started off my characters using a simple silouhette and building up my characters with clothing and other types of manipulation like alteration of their figure and head.
Anubis
Horus
Osiris
Using Illustrator I live traced my initial sketches and to make them clean solid lines so that I could colour specific areas easier with out worring about other areas, I also used photoshop to add textures and shading.

Time project

I was asked to create a poster which would capture an aspect of time. As time is a vast subject I decided to create a large mind map which would branch off to all different aspects of time and shows how they are linked to others. After making this I chose 3 different part of the mind map which are still closely related and still easy to include as many of the into my poster. I chose: Evolution, Technology and Clocks.

I used Photoshop to put all of this together but I used the majority of my experiments to create this as it was easier than just starting all over again.

Safe and Sound Project

For this project I was asked to design a poster to suit 13 - 16 year olds. I researched a few designers to give me ideas of imagery and layout. When I was designing the poster I looked at layout and colour and used other posters as influence for my final design.

I used Illutrator to create this piece as it is easier to create this as you can change the text so its outlines and you can manipulate the points (vectors) to how you want them to be. Illustrator is also easier to change the type around as you dont have to mess about with layers as you do in Photoshop
