My work is based around Graphic Design, I will be updating my blog by adding my recent pieces of art on here, to hopefully grow as an artist and learn new techniques.
Floral Typography

I printed out a page with the chosen font for my front cover, I then sketched out a simple floral design around the text. I then photographed the image and drew it digitally on my Surface Pro 4 using Photoshop.
My favourite piece of the typography was adding colour as its a contrast against the black font and draws in the audiences eye.
If I could change anything I would trial different types of flowers so I had a large variation.
Adbusters is a website that fights consumerism brands/people using powerful posters that have a strong meaning/story for the audience. Adbuster shows consumers how bad company's are to the environment and to them. My favourite image is of a baby being breast fed and the mother having a burger painted on her boob, this is very inspiring as it shows that any bad greasy food the mother eats so does the baby, this poster is meant to open women's eyes up to being careful of what they eat when pregnant. This has inspire me to try and develop a certain logo and change it into something bad they do; Pepsi logo being turned into an obese person as there is a lot of sugar and calories in them.
Brandalism is when you are going against marketing/consumer brands or company's by re designing posters/ads with a strong message to stop consumers. The images on the Ad have a strong message to link with consumers as well as global warming troubles. The Ad that catches my attention most is "photo of a skinny white girl", this is fighting against body/racial image in ads as most women are white and skinny, this is against the body image. This has inspired me to try and show an on going problem using images related to it but in a hypocritical way.
Tom Whalen is a graphic designer making Disney/marvel posters, his style was based on old comic book art that he used to read when he was younger. I really like Tom Whalen's work, it is very vibrant catching the attention of the audience, he also adds a lot of detail in his art work which helps show what the film is about without giving away the whole story line. In a lot of his work he uses negative space to his advantage, this has inspired me to try and use negative space in my book cover designs.
