Art of Nurture cont.....

After doing some initial ideas generation I have been developing the idea of using hand imagery in my design to represent the unity, and working together in partnership to represent Lloyds.

I have been using this information to develop ideas to reflect this paragraph.

Here are a few examples of images that show the type of imagery I will be using in my Illustration.

A bit of Type?

Today I have began to design the handwritten text for my website. I want a lose inky, slightly sketchbook looking text. It does need to be legible but at the same time I don't want it to look like its being carefully drawn.

Brendons Recommendation for Tutorials

I noticed that Brendon kindly gave James a link to a really good tutorial site for Dreamweaver 

- www.willgoldstone.com/learn  

So this will probably worth having a look at.

My aims for this week..

Sunday - Catch up with some Blogging 

Monday and Tuesday - Begin designing my website & have designs to show for the Critique

                                         Selecting which work I want to display

                                         Preparing this work e.g rescanning/photographing.

Wednesday - Day off (maybe continue a bit more research if i get bored).

Thursday - Make sure I have some well developed sketches/plans to show for tomorrows critique.

Friday & over the weekend - Begin online tutorials for dreamweaver.

Back from Christmas

It was nice to be back today, I have felt like I've been drifting a bit this last week, having a full time job for the past three weeks I have struggled to find the time to sit down and progress with my work, even get my head into design mode. After sitting at a computer screen all day all I wanted to do when I got home was relax. 

So after having a taster of the boring mundane office lifestyle, being away from the creativeness I am now very eager to get back into my work. 

I knew that unfortunately over the Christmas period my time would be limited towards my work and therefore I made sure I got most of my research done before we broke up. This has benefited me hugely as I can now start designing and building my website. Although I am very aware that I am going to have to do a few tutorials first.

SCREEN PRINTING

This has got me very excited - an email from Neil confirming that we will doing screen printing the second week of February.

I experimented with this a bit when doing my A levels and really enjoyed it. I have alway wanted the chance to develop my skills in this area, and being an Illustrator I have always admired the work of others using this method.
