Punk's not Dead stickers

-

 To create the stickers I bought the adhesive matt paper on Amazon and I chose the paper that would be compatible with my inkjet printer as I wanted to print stickers at home.

That was very simple process and results are amazing. Using Procreate to create the stickers let me print them without the background and with a very good quality. 

 During the Bring the Paint Festival, when we walked around Leicester looking for new graffities, I've been naughty and I placed my stickers around the local environment. The feeling was incredible good, excitement mixed up with adrenaline and pride as my work joined to others work and would seen by others.
 





Later on we went to The Mill for the graffiti workshop and I wouldn't be myself if I would not try spray painting. As you can see on the video I was still in my punky- naughty mood.

The whole process of creation was very interesting and from the very beginning, I took into account the fact that I am creating stickers. That was related to my drawings and the way how I design them and also I considered the cutting out process and how they would look in the public environment. 
For example when I drew this design (picture below) I considered the fact that the text should be joined with the picture. If I would leave gap in between that would exist as two separate project and I didn't want that.

I would definitely create more stickers, this time in colour , to check the results on the matt paper and compare how accurate would be the colour to the actual design.

    A follow up to this - remember we talked about Jamie Reid and his designs for the Sex Pistols - a post on Graphic Design as protest, using Reid would be good!

Eco Academy Tote Bag mock up

-

 Finally I was bereave  enough to experiment with the Photoshop to create the tote bag for the school. I  started with the mock up picture which I found on the free mock up website, and I downloaded it on the laptop.  After transferring the picture to the Photoshop I used a clone tool to remove the design which was already there, however a few minutes after I have finished designing the bag I learned how to do it in completely different way. I knew I am doing something wrong as it took me to long .    I used the same free background logo which I created earlier in Procreate . I fit it to the tote bag size and I saved the picture in jpg, choosing "file" and " save as"  on the left top corner . I am happy with the results, the picture is sharp in a good quality.

 In my project I will draw illustrations to a short story for children, therefore this research will help me to find information and answer to the big question: " What's make the great children book illustration? "  There is many factors what I need to consider before I will start drawing: - the age group.  - type an style of illustrations suitable for this age group - the book style - how many illustration I will include in my page. - what to avoid in the illustrations for children To decide in what style I will draw the pictures is also very important. Is that will be more cartoony or scary or is the pictures are relevant to the story. For example soft and gentle illustrations would not be perfect for a story about monsters. Go to the library an look at the real children's book is a good place to find the inspirations.  Is important to decide how many illustrations will be included in the book and what type of illustrations they are. That will affect to overal layo...

project plan schedule

During the meeting with the Tutor ,we have discussed everything regarding to my project. I have introduced my ideas and my first sketches to the book. "The magic of the amulet" is a story written by my friend's daughter. There are three main characters - Abby the little girl who lives on the tropical Island with her friends: Olivia the dolphin and Patrick the crab. I already know how they will look like. I need to think how to draw the Island and mermaids. In my head it will be a magical and colorful,  fantasy World.  My first idea was to draw 4 pictures based on the story and to make front and back cover. The Tutor advice was to create two more pages as the story will be more interesting and easier to read for the children. We talk trough every page and I am convinced now that is good idea to draw two additional pages. I will use Procreate and Flipsnack and I will make a mock book  to be able to see how will my book look in real life. I was so excided with this idea , th...
