THE QUEEN'S DIAMOND JUBILEE








around november, martin decided to set us all a personal project. he wanted me to design and make a promotional pack for the queen's diamond jubilee in 2012. i did really like the sound of it and had a few ideas, but along with the rest of the class, i left it till last minute and ended up making something rushed and half finished. none the less, i think it's ok.
basically, it's a 3D diamond which opens up to a little pack containing a sash (just like the queen's!!) with a badge inside to put on it, and the whole idea is to collect different badges and brooches to fill the sash. i did want to put some other little stuff in there too, which i will get round to doing at some point. this is it anyway.

CONJOINED TWINS SCREEN PRINT


you can't really see it that well, but this is a screen print of the collage drawing i made of conjoined twins. i used a CMYK process so had to separate the image into four different sections, and then print the colours separately and on top of each other. i've got to do another 3 i think. FML.

NYC










so here are a few pics from NEW YORK. to be honest, i was expecting it to be a lot better than what it was. i was looking forward to something like sex and the city and loads of character, but all it seemed like was tall buildings and busy, straight roads. i'm not saying i didn't enjoy myself, but i definitely feel that london has a lot more to offer and reeks of character. the last photo is by turbs, and the first one by b.
