This is a piece I produced during a project where I was advertising 'Razors' roller-skates
. During this outcome I produced it using traditional based methods only. I used a pencil, fineliner,card paper and Brusho ink. This originated from primary imagery of my own skates and I just drew by looking at the images. I believe i got an overall Merit on this project. I produced this on a A3 sheet and then scanned in.

This is a piece i produced based on the famous Pop artist 'Roy Lichtenstein' for a project in college. Lichtenstein inspired me a lot during my projects in college along with others artists with similar style such as Andy Warhol and Jasper Johns. This piece was for a project where i had to design a cover for a paint tin and this represented the iconic use of red in Lichtenstein's work. I produced it using bold paint and i used cotton buds to apply the dot effect. I did this on an A3 sheet and further scanned in.



This is a hand-rendered illustration of my friend wearing a pair of headphones. I produced this on an A3 sheet and used Newspaper, Masking tape and brown card for the background. I did it using a blue and black pen and also Quink ink. This was for a project where i was asked to advertise a set of headphones. I wanted to incorporate both typography and illustration so i decided to take inspiration from the artist Silke Werzinger and this is why i used the techniques and materials i did.



This is a piece i did completely in my spare time so that i could improve my skills on Adobe Illustrator. I used to always use Photoshop and when i wanted to produce high-quality vector graphics for my Behance account i was very inexperienced. Therefore i produced this which i did completely free hand and from the mind using many different layers and the pen tool. This helped me and made me more confident when using Illustrator and i can now use it very swiftly and effectively. 



This piece is also a part of my project where i advertised Razors skates. I produced a hand-rendered piece (which is in the portfolio), various different magazine covers and also a web page design. I did this using Adobe Illustrator and i worked on my typography, photography and layout design skills when producing it. I produced everything you see on this including the photography which i manipulated using Photoshop. I have a small passion and that is the reason i decided to do my project based on roller skates.



This a poster which i again produced for my project on roller skates. I also did this using Adobe Illustrator and the reason for this is so that i could improve my skills using typography combined with layout design. This also took a big part in decided the logo and colour theme for the project. I produced this to the size of A3 straight from Illustrator and did not manipulate it using Photoshop.



This hand-rendered piece of art was for a college project early in the first year. I wanted to develop my own style of art and i did this by drawing many different tools to make a word. I also used different types of equipment and media such as: tracing paper, brown card, lined paper, masking tape, pencils, stick and ink, pens, Brusho ink and paint. The reason for this was so that i developed an individual style like no one else.



This is an illustration i produced in my spare time, basically for fun. I did it by using the pen tool in Photoshop to create different shapes which eventually formed a Lamborghini. This took a while to produce. I think i am very skilled when using the pen tool in Photoshop and i think this shows this. For each shape that i did i had to use the Eyedropper to select the colour most representative to the colour on an actual Lamborghini.



This is a image from my project where i worked for the 'Professional ImageMaker' magazine. I had to develop a piece on a part of Photoshop or graphic design where beginners would need help. I decided to do mine on Type and Lettering. This gave me an opportunity to produce my own typography and also be very experimental. I further did a photo-shoot where i projected my own typography onto a figure which represented all aspects and rules of typography.



This outcome i did for a project where i was working for the Chemistry department in my college. This is the most experimental piece i did during my second year in college. I think this because not only did i mix photography with hand-rendered work and digital work but i also used Photoshop effects to manipulate the outcome. I had to produce a piece which would feature on the wall outside the science department and that represented science in one image. I think i did this very successfully. I used filters and the shape tool to complete the outcome.



This is a piece which i did in my spare time and i did it using Photoshop only. I did it to build and fill my Behance account. I also wanted to become more experienced when manipulating images and imported textures in Photoshop. Everything i used in this outcome was originally an image and i combined them all and applied an effect to make the outcome. I did this for my love of football.



This is a live trace i did in Photoshop. I produced this by going over an original image with the pen tool and then filling in the shapes with the colour most like the colour on the image. This isn't a very difficult technique to produce but it looks very effective in my opinion. This was produced in my spare time and has no particular meaning to it.



This is a traditional piece of hand-rendered art which i did for a project in the first year. I was looking at the artist Jasper Johns and he inspired me to produce a flag outcome. I did it to the size A3 and i used newspaper and paint to finish it. I did this to give it a rough effect because Jasper Johns work is never neat and fine so i wanted to imitate his style as much as possible.



This is a outcome i produced in college for my first project and i wanted to put this in not only to show my minimalist skills but to show i have improved over my time in college. I did this for a project where i had to advertise a film. I decided to advertise the film 'The Truman Show'. I also decided to produce my outcome in a different language and this also applied to the style which i would do it in. Therefore i took a minimal route and this linked in with the style of film advertisement in Japan.



This piece i did in my spare time and i did an illustration of my brother and father. I did this using Photoshop and i wanted to improve my skills when applying correct harmonious colours to Photoshop to get the correct and most effective outcome.



Here i have just placed a few of my life drawing together to show my skills when drawing objects from sight. I had an hour to produce each piece and i produced them using a standard 2b pencil. I further incorporated these into one of my projects and manipulated them using Photoshop.
