Imperial Leisure Landlords Daughter Cover (Personal Project)



The main reason behind this project was to help me get in touch with drawing again, in which I used a makeshift lightbox to draw the image of the barmaid. I was initially going to colour it using pens aswell but decided against that and coloured it in using illustrator giving it a pop art feel to it.

Muse Uprising Cover (Personal Project)




After looking through my portfolio, I wanted to do something a little different, With that in mind I devised a project that would provide the medium to try out new techniques.

After looking at a lot of old propaganda posters from the 1920's and 1930's I was inspired enough to try drawing my imagery then colour halftone them in photoshop.

Letterpress Wall Mural








This Letterpress Mural was a collaboration by myself and fellow freelance graphic designer Adam Downer (http://adamdownerdesign.blogspot.com/) under the guidance of our Universiry tutor.

We were all in agreement that it was the best way to advertise the BA Hons Graphic Design Course and the 2009 Degree Show. It was also a good opportunity to demonstrate the benefits of letterpress printing (which the university now has the means to do) As far as I know the mural is still being displayed outside the Graphic Design studio of Southampton Solent University today.
