IP1 again

I worked on this editorial for IP1 a while ago but couldn't post it till the magazine came out yesterday.

Colourful Things

Here are some of the more colourful things I was working on before my Karin portrait. Am starting to add nice worn/scratchy bits to my work to take a bit of the flat digital edge off it, as well as messing around with layers of scanned paint textures to create patterns on clothes, trees, hair etc.

Karin Drejer Andersson

I finally figured out how to link my images from flikr to avoid copyright issues thanks to Marcus Butt! Therefore I will start posting nice images again.
I've actually been working in lots of bright bright colours lately so this was kind of a swing in the other direction which I enjoyed. It's a portrait of Karin Drejer Andersson, who some of you might know as a member of the bands 'Fever Ray' and 'The Knife.' I'm a huge fan of her music and saw Fever Ray live last year.
This kind of reminds me of those creepy Victorian Memento Mori photos that I like. :)

Sock It To Me

Design a sock competition sounded like fun so I knocked a couple out! The car one was actually an entry for Tigerprints Male Pattern competition but didn't get anywhere so I re purposed it. I'm enjoying creating repeating patterns at the moment so may try a couple more.

IP1 Magazine

I designed a couple of banners for the website of local magazine IP1. Keep refreshing the page to see different ones. Mine are the one of lots of fish and one with the astronaut. They've asked me to do some work for the next issue of the magazine too. :)

Contact sheet

My first attempt at making a contact sheet for sending to art directors etc. This ones for my editorial work. I'm working on another for book cover design. :3

The Eco-Commuter

Something my brain came up with on the train home from London today after New Designers. Just for fun.
