Food Illustrations
I love Popular Culture, it can help promote diversity, raise awareness of important issues, inspire individuals, foster creativity, and contribute to economic growth. It has the power to unite people, encourage positive change, and provide enjoyment in our daily lives.
Nostalgia can be a powerful tool, as it allows us to tap into the emotional connections we have, food and beverages are a big part of popular culture.
I am exploring food that I remember from my childhood, creating digital illustrations of biscuits and ice cream. Although in early stages I hope to create some more illustrations and use my skills in bookbinding, to create a zine or small handmade book.
Christmas Poster
I was requested to design a poster to enhance a display of Christmas Products at a store in Canterbury.
The manager at the store explained that he wanted "12 Days of Christmas" but that he was happy to leave the interpretation up to me. As this was quite a late request I didn't feel that I would be able to do the 12 Days of Christmas enough credit and create something well enough that I would be happy to have hung in a store.
Instead I created a list of common symbology and references to Christmas. I came up with the following list:
Christmas Puddings; Christmas Crackers; Christmas Trees; Snowmen; Christmas Presents; Holly and Ivy; Gingerbread; Candles; Baubles; Snowflakes; Santa; Christmas Lights and Christmas Stockings;
I sketched some basic images of these, to give me an idea of what I wanted them to look like and then created them digitally, and laid them out on a 4 x 4 grid. I simplified some of the images - instead of Santa I just had a Santa Hat - and once I'd laid out the design felt that the Christmas Crackers were too simple and a bit too 'cartoony' so removed them. I also added 4 phrases associated with Christmas.
I completed this design quite quickly - about 2 weeks from request to delivery and delivered the final design by the end of November, it was hung in the store for the month of December.
