Movie Cover

At school I've been studying Shakespeare in English and our most recent assessment item was an extended play on a character from Hamlet. So i thought I'd whip out my graphic design skills and blow everyone away with a beautiful hand made title page/cover. (To make up for my dodgy acting ofcorse) I'm still in the film/editing process so you will have to wait and see... But here is my cover :)

I had to learn a few new photoshop skills for this one. I used a bunch of watercolour brushes, and a mixture of text, photography and my own flower illustrations (which I scanned and uploaded then blended with photoshop) Hope you enjoy!

Design a Day: Day 8

I have been using photoshop lately, learning how to use the quick selection tool, blending modes and importing brushes like these water colour ones, used in this design. 

This is a little sneak peak of my own branding design that I have been working on.

Hope you enjoy!

A Design a Day: Day 4

Here is a quick little design I threw together tonight, it does need improving and I will definitely do some more work on it. But I just felt like creating something cute so here it is...

What I learnt today was how to use the path finder for a pattern- just by creating a compound path. 

Enjoy xx

Design a Day:Day 3

 I was searching for a tutorial to make a nice background and this caught my eye straight away it was so pretty! I was also so excited to find how easy it was. I also learn a few photoshop skills making the background. 

I found this photo on Pinterest that worked perfectly.

I added a Gaussian blur and an overlay of a pattern i created in illustrator, played around with the blending mode then added a grain. Once i finished the background, I added a quote from my friend that she asked me to do up after seeing yesterdays design. It turned out really well and she loves it!

Current Design Love: Watercolour

How freaking gorgeous is this?! I love everything, the simple font, design.. and the contrast of colourful watercolour is just perfect!!

This gorgeous design element can add a fun pop of colour or create an elegant texture and offers a flowing contrast to strong, simple or bold typography. To incorporate watercolour into computer graphics all you need is some watercolour paints to make up some designs then use a scanner to upload them to your computer and finally add your typography, its really is so simple.

Hope you got some inspiration from today's post!

TAFE Update and My Artwork

I'm now in my second year of TAFE and I cant believe how quick the time has gone!! I promised earlier last year in this post that I would share some of my work so here is a few photos of a Dust Jacket that I'm currently working on. The brief was to combine photography and conceptual ideas to capture the letters A R and T and finish the title of Art is...something?(with relation to the photos) Then create a Duck Jacket using Adobe Indesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. Here are the results...

 I am so grateful that I got the opportunity to do this course. I'm creating a bunch of designs for my portfolio and I have learnt so much (and it's been super fun). Hope you have enjoyed taking a look at some of my work,

I am thankful for...

Word Love

My little sister and I were playing around with our scrabble letters after being inspired by those lovely images from my post a few days ago. We decide to make lots of happy words and use up every letter we had, take a look...

I know... some words weren't spelt entirely correct, we did our best.

Knock please

My baby sister recently asked me to make her a sign for her cubby house saying 'please knock'. I wanted to make something very cute and homely. So I used an emroidery style template from frankie's backgrounds...

Then I added some cute text in picnik, note: I kept with the homely theme.

And thats it! She loves it but we still need to get to a printer to print it out, hehe. Everyone is free to use it but for personal use only! Enjoy...

Scrabble letters

Right now I am obsessed with the look of cute sayings made from wooden tiles on gorgeous floral backgrounds. Here are some of my favourites...

'Wish upon a star' by Guerrilla nerd, 'Oh Hello' from an Etsy shop by Kate Loyd Photo,

'Go Somewhere' by on my toes for you, and 'Kiss me' by Smallbodies on Polyvore
