Quote Art

This piece is taken from a book of Quote Art I based around lyrics that Kurt Cobain wrote, that I designed and self published on Lulu.com. Available here: http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/lounge-art/16074484?productTrackingContext=search_results/search_shelf/center/1

It is simply an illustration of a bridge with the handwritten lyrics to the side, placed over a suitable texture.

Quote Art 2

This one is Based on the Nirvana song 'Heart Shaped Box'. It started off as just scribbling outside of a heart shape, and developed as I started scanning it into Photoshop and changing the colours to something more suitable. The heart is ripped up pieces of paper inside the empty space, scanned in edited yet again. Finished off the handwritten lyrics put into position.

Creative Covers


This is a college project where I had to redesign an album cover. For this I took inspiration from the music video to Heart Shaped Box, a song on the album. As a Nirvana fan I am happy with this design, and I am confident it could well of been the actual cover.

Autobiography Cover


This is the design for my hypothetical autobiography, the concept I am trying to portray is 'Anti-Conformity'.

Mixed Media

This is an Indian ink drawing of Indian ink bottles, scanned, printed in cyan, rotated and printed again in magenta to create an interesting abstract piece.

Nike Skateboarding


In a college project, I revamped the identity of Nike Skateboarding with the tagline 'Skate the Street'. After editing the logo, I designed some products with a recurring theme that ties in with the tagline, and completes the image of the brand.

Photography


After researching several photographers, I conducted my own photo shoots imitating some of them. The above are inspired by Lewis Baltz and of course, David Bailey.
