BFI

Poster ideas for the BFI film festival focusing on the internal workings of motion picture projectors.

Books

Going to the 'Art Libris' book fair in Barcelona next week so I have bound two different books to hopefully sell.

The first is 'A hybrid tale,' an amalgamation of five fairy tales. I have written the story taking direct lines from the original stories and creating a new one. Every page is illustrated and the images flow directly from one page to the next using only black and white and similar imagery. I have screenprinted the covers, white ink on black, and bound an edition of nine using a french fold.

I have also printed a selection of the images from a dictionary project set last year and bound these into books with a letterpressed cover. Edition of 12.

Hybrid

The first thre page spreads of my hybrid fairy tale book.

Maritime Designs

Final Poster Design

Supporting print publication - It is printed out A3 and then folded down the middle then into four (hence some of the writing being upside down)

Magical Museum

A brief we were set over the Christmas break, to visit our local museum and find an exhibit that fascinates us, design a poster and print publication. It is the most straightforward brief we have been set in a while so I decided instead of pondering over a 'concept' for the piece to just get stuck in straight away collaging and drawing and hopefully a poster design would develop from there.

I chose the Maritime Museum in Liverpool, so far I have been working on collaging linked but slightly contrasting imagery eg: sailing ship & shipwreck, steam liner & steam engine.

I have also been looking at the work of Russian constructivists to inspire collages using some black and white imagery of shapes, ships, boats, engines etc...
