This is one of 13 drawings which I have produced for an illustration project for my Visual communication Design course. I drew all the pictures on A2 scale and then reproduced them on A4 with some photoshop colouring. The rain I added digitally as well. This has been one of my favourite projects so far this year. Will be producing more soon!

Here I have designed the user interface for a mobile application which is soon to be implemented. It is an app which allows you (once you have signed up as a user, free of charge) to find out what retail specials are currently on offer within a specific area. Once you have found an appealing offer you will then be directed to its nearest branch through a map.

Here is my latest illustration work which i made for the Illvillehotel project for Am I Collective. I wanted to illustrate a warped, old, disregarded hotel room so I drew it in charcoal to give it a more morbid feeling. I then scanned it in and added some colour on Photoshop. Had loads of fun making this!

Diesel BE STUPID
For this project we had to create a series of photographs
for the 'Diesel Be Stupid' ad campaign. The concept behind the project was to
get creative in a trendy stupid way. We had to work with the already existing
concept, general layout and the colour scheme of the campaign. As a group of 3
we produced 18 final photographs which we had to finally edit in Photoshop as
well as insert our own appropriate taglines. This is one of my particular favourite shots which I took and edited.

I began drawing gorrilas just as they were and then i realised that they actually resemble rather human like characteristics, like in my first drawing how he is sitting down with his arm resting on his leg, looking at the viewer intensely. The 2nd drawing looks like a stereotypical family portrait and the 3rd one resembles a rather more abstract perception of the madness of humanity.
