Faux Real Inspiration.....

Here are a collection of photographs taken by a family friend Ian Lang.
These are just a few of his beautiful photos and they have inspired me to create a strong collection of drawings so far.

Faux Real......

I've been a busy bee the last few weeks trying to prepare myself for my third year and my minor project.
My concept is based on the trend prediction Faux Real, which concentrates on making the real look fake.
These are a few of my drawings which i have done so far. There's plenty of room for development, but i am pleased so far with the outcome. Stay tuned! =p

My time at Hallmark =]

I was lucky enough to win second prize in a greetings card competion at uni. The prize was two weeks works experience at Hallmark.

Here i experienced a wide range of different job roles within the Creative Team and was able to illustrate, design and make my own card collection.

My collection is inspired by nature, afternoon teas, and beautiful boutique objects.

These are my first designs, with my own illustrations.

I wanted to experiment with colour and textured backgrounds.

These are my five final cards, i used flitter and foils to give them a high quality finish, and developed the design using photoshop.

I also added ribbons and tags to the cards, making them that little bit more special, and i really enjoyed creating the inside of the cards. It really finished them off.

Here is my final collection and my mood board, all finished and mounted.

Rococo Revival Wallpaper

This is my latest collection inspired by the period style Rococo.

I wanted to create a revamped style by using bright colours, foils, and collage.

Creating my bespoke piece was really interesting and was nice piecing it together, and seeing it develop into a really interesting piece of wallpaper.

Rococo on the roll.

My final presentation in my bay. Very Pleased =]

April Showers...

The weather has been beautiful lately, and its made me want to get out and about doing different things and visiting different places.

Firstly a visit to the crematorium to visit my Nana Webster, who was my biggest inspiration. She taught me to draw when i was six years old, without her i don't know where i would be.

Then off to see Granddad Webster, my Granddad Ray. He is obsessed with looking for different thimbles for me, this one is his latest find, a poppy wreath, which on the back reads they shall never be forgotten. I think i have close to 30 thimbles now, and he shows no sign of stopping!

An hour in my Mam's Garden, appreciating the blossom while it lasts.

A trip to Edinburgh. Nothing like a weekend in a Wig Wam.

Shame it rained all day everyday, but it got out nice at 7pm!
