Editorial illustration - Super Vision




















This was an illustration brief for any editorial magazine.  As I chose a topic that was scientific, I decided to use The New Scientist Magazine.  We had to design a front cover and a double page spread.  Text was supplied to us in the brief and we 
had to draw what was said in the article.  My idea is linked very well as I wanted to create an image that was like using inferred images.  This is why I chose black and had vibrant colours for the goggles.  The lines at the side are radio waves and these where created using a digital camera on 50 ISO and a torch in a black room. I overlaid the images on photoshop and produced in InDesign.

Self Promotion_Pictograms

I wanted to choose words that represent me as a graphic designer and I have used the shapes of my logo to create small pictograms.  Can you match them? 

Eye for detail, Unique, Creative Mind, Ideas, Team Builder, Computer Literate, All Rounder, Hand Working, Communicative and My Logo

Self _Promo_Ideas

Here I have patterned my Logo to create a background for my self promotion work.  It could be the background to my business card or my website.

Visual Language of Typography Book


A book about the visual language of typography.  Type has a personality and is chosen to match the meaning of the vernacular; Everyday's chosen words.  B.A.L.D  (book layout and design).  Designing the front and back cover, contents, and 3 page spreads.  I produced an introduction, historical type and Sci-fi typography section of the book and printed onto yellow paper as scientific research shows that black looks best on yellow.  As changing the colour of the type can alter the personality of it.
