Don’t let people get the better of you :-)

I’ve been doing a lot of hand drawn type recently, but instead of just drawing alphabet after alphabet I wanted to do something different. So I decided to incorporate it into an illustration… Which I haven’t done for ages. I like this one though, I’m happier with it than the last thing I posted. It’s kind of trippy but in a cute way in my opinion – That’s why I like it I think. And the words that I’ve chosen mean a lot to me, since I’ve lived on my own I’ve learnt how to not let people get the better of me… I think it’s another life skill that Uni life teaches you.

Procrastinating ;-)

Arrrgh! What’s happened to the blue in this!!? Noooo! It’s lighter than I wanted! I have been tricked by illustrator! Damn you! This will do for now though I guess! I’ve had enough of Adobe for one day! xox

Stuff for YCN Brief

This is one of the things I’ve managed to produce with Illustrator so far for the YCN British Music Experience brief. I like it, but I don’t really know what to do next with it. Also, it is supposed to be blue, red and white… But on here it’s showing up black and grey? Hopefully when I publish it it’ll be the right colours *fingers crossed* I haven’t yet incorporated the BME’s logo onto it yet, but I was thinking of printing it like a postcard with all the information on the back and maybe a free badge or something with the logo on. I’m not sure. Hmm… x

Handmade Graphics

I bought this book the other day and it’s really good! Everyone who likes to make things as part of their work should definitely own this. It has examples of artists/designers and all the different ways you can create things and then shows you step by step how you can achieve it too! Pretty ace! x

Ergh… Must… Get… Motivated…

I can mess about and make little pieces of work for myself. Last week a made a little recipe book for my friend and I used photoshop, illustrator and indesign (I was proud!)… But when it comes to Uni work and briefs something in my head just goes.. Nah mate. IT IS SO FRUSTRATING! Why can’t I just get on with it!? I can do this.. I will! It’s just going to me a mahoosive struggle. Definately don’t want to be a designer after this course. No way. I’d rather just keep graphics as a nice little hobby, because in the past three years I have lost my passion and it’s turned into a chore.

A bit of my own

Here is something I’ve made, I have been trying to teach myself illustrator for a while now and I am slowly getting the hang of it. At the moment I’m really interested in hand drawn type so I thought I’d have a go at it myself. It’s okay I suppose! I like the colours that I’ve used because I didn’t want them to be the stereotypical shades you would find in a landscape… like a dream.

Odd?

I have surprised myself. For the first time in a few months I have picked up my pen and have started drawing again. The past few things on here that I’ve posted have really inspired me.. And it’s just made me want to make something. I am really shy about my work, not a lot of people get to see it. BUT I have promised myself I will finish this, and post it on here.. Even though probably no one will ever see it, but it’s the point that it’s there if people want to . One small step and all that shebang! I think I want to scan it in afterwards and play with it on illustrator. I’m guessing thats how the pieces below have been made too, but I really like them so I want to play too! Anyways, I’m off to bed. Goodnight x

notebookdoodles

So I’ve just come across a blog called notebookdoodles and I absolutely love it! I really like the way she has used type within her doodles and the messages behind each piece. I picked these ones out because I can relate to them. They’re all very true. Or maybe I want to believe they’re true? Maybe it’s not true? I don’t know, but in my opinion if you believe in something that much then you make it true. You make the belief a reality. There are somethings in life I don’t give up on and never give up on. Even if I said that I had, I’d probably still believe deep down. I always hope that people will remember acts of kindness and not take them for granted… Even though a lot of people aren’t grateful for the things you do for them. I’ve met a lot of selfish people in my life and I’m only 20! Life’s too short to have people like that in your life. I don’t know why I needed to rant that. But it feels better now!
