Stencil Session

This stencil is part of a set I started making a while back for a course set project based on Fish.
The project is still ongoing due to new projects being added on top of it, but if they all turn out like this I'll be pretty happy with the result! 

This is my favourite of the few that I've made due to the packaging paper background, which gives it a more interesting look than just plain black/white backgrounds.


These are some other ones in the set I made as testers, with a plain background:

Valentines Day Vouchers

For Valentines day this year I wanted to do and give something a little different than your standard, shop bought Valentines card and so I decided that I'd make my own 'Valentines Vouchers'.

I decided to make them with the design in the style of an old fashioned ticket stub, with some more intricate detailing around the edges to make it more "Valentinesy". 
I made 7 vouchers in total. Each of these had a front and a back. The fronts all had the same cover design whilst the back of the vouchers all had something different to redeem on them, ranging from sweet things like 'Breakfast in Bed' to 'Wild Cards', which were redeemable for anything.

I think this is a much more personal and specialised gift and it gives you the freedom to have some fun with what the vouchers can be redeemable for! Happy Valentines ;)

Student Elections: VOTE UNCLE SAM!

It's Students Union election time for most Universities around the country now and to help my boyfriend, Sam get the role he wants in September after he finishes his course this year, I've been making all of his election posters and promotional material to help him in his pursuit. 

This spin on the 'Uncle Sam' - I Want You poster, we decided to remove old Sam's face and replace it with MY Sam's face! So far, it's gone down a storm and everyone seems to be loving the design.

Lets hope it's memorable enough for him to win his position!
VOTE SAM! :)

Postcard Design for Magazine Promotion

This is some older work I haven't had chance to upload previously, but is all to do with a CAD project that started in September and ended in December. The brief was to design a Zine, a poster and some postcards based on anything we desired. I decided my topic would be a lifestyle magazine for the dead. 

I haven't finished all of the work on this yet, nor do I have a title... But I'm thinking something like:
Afterlife Style
