Picture 1 (saved from multyshades.com) - This picture is a good example of well thought lighting and composition. The glasses were set up on the scene in a very interesting way, creating illusion effects in the bowl of the first glass. Also, the white surface, on which the glasses are standing, makes them stand out from the dark background.
Picture 2 (saved from blog.jmleclercq.com) - A good use of lighting and contrast to elevate object from the background. The interesting fact about this picture is that it is black and white, which makes the contrast even greater.
Picture 3 (saved from telegraph.co.uk) - Interesting use of scale to make the small plat look like a grown tree. This effect was possible thanks to the small toy figures, which, at first glance, look like real humans. The author of this picture did a good job with setting up this scene and playing with perspective
Picture 4 (saved from Playbuzz on pinterest.com) - This picture represents a very good use of colour and motion. There are only two colours which were used in this picture (both subtractive). This mix of colours may give the viewer some positive/happy thoughts
Picture 5 (saved from weheartit.com) - An example of the long exposure photography. It is one of the best ways to show motion in the picture. On this photo viewer can see cars driving on the highway in the big city. The long exposure technique created long lines of light on the road, which made it look like there were even more cars on it. Also this effect gives the cars more speed.
Picture 6 (saved from cute-pets.club) - On this picture viewer can see a lot of contrast and line work. Author of this art used white lines to counter the black tone. Also the different angles of these lines give the character a more realistic shape. On the picture it's clearly visible where the light is coming from
Picture 7 (saved from mydarkenedeyes.tumblr.com) - This is a good example of a painting with exceptional lighting. All of the reflections on the ground make it look like it's made of ice. Also, the viewer may notice that almost everything on the painting is dimmed or blurred. The only things that stand out are the red tram and the red jacket on one of the pedestrians.
Picture 8 (saved from WordPress.com) - Geometric shapes are a very essence of the modern sculptures. On this example viewer can see a geometric human figure. Despite the unusual shape, it is easy to describe the posture and pose of this character (big belly, hands in the pockets).
I've had to watermark this copy because it's my coursework, and I haven't actually received my certificate for it yet (so I don't want anyone else to get at it). Also please note that it's bloody difficult to get inDesign files into JPEGs, and random saturation seems to have occurred in the process. Also, contrasts and blends appear a bit orrible on screen, especially on the back cover. I assure you they look lovely in real life.
Anyways, I'm uploading this because, like the other picture which appears here, I am fiercely proud of it. It's my first real delve into print work, and I think it went very nicely.
Once again you can see a heavy composition of images, effects and the like.
Now the brief was to design a cover for a video game which was as realistic as possible, and I think it's fair to say I did try. Measuring the beasts was a nightmare, and getting hold of some conventional elements of the covers (like the PCCD logo) wasn't easy either (I had to make the one on this cover), but I did manage to pull together something very convincing.
So convincing, in fact, that one young lad picked it up and said "I'm sure I've played this one before", going on to describe how fun it was.
Of course, there is no game. But I was delighted to be asked when the game was coming out by many kids in the Library. I'd usually say something like "soon."
I couldn't possibly recall the number of times I've printed this off, guillotined it and stuck it into a dummy cover, but I can tell you that I have made 3 copies of the cover in a case and I display one proudly along with all my other games. I love it when it takes people long to identify!
Coming up with the story was good fun, as was making up all the excellent "features" that were to go in the game.
Things to watch out for (let me think...)
- Massive, simple SLAY logo. It took me ages to decide on the name, but I love ultimate creative missions like that
- DETAIL! "Online Team Play functionality", "15", "PC CD-ROM", the spine, "Buster Games", legal text, support line, barcode (real!), screenshots (stolen - guess where from!), cheesy strapline, consistent fontage
- USE OF COLOUR! Binary white/black front/cover, pink and blue, red and white/black/cream, yellow and black, blue and cream... all carefully chosen and developed.
It's a photo OF a photo. Because I have no scanner.

One of my first A-level shoots for my coursework, always nice to revisit photos and recreate them.
Brief: design a logo for an Art & Design library.
This is a sketch of a Tawny owl - the most common owl in the UK - taken from my sketchbook. I was working on an owl design and decided to try a realistic image for the logo first. I used the same image that I'd previously done in charcoal and tried it again using watercolour pencils. I thought an owl required a softer kind of colouring and so watercolours would be the best medium for this. I used watercolour pencils as I find that I can shade and blend the colours better than with paints.
The feet came out rather bright and I had a bit of trouble getting the wing dark enough but I'm pleased with the rest of it, especially the face. Unfortunately reworking the wing made the paper buckle, even though it's 150gsm cartridge paper.
Right at the end of the day today a few of our pupils asked me to come and photograph some of their textiles coursework.
The quality of the work was really exceptional, and some of the items looked shop ready.
This is a detail on the hem of one of the garments. Nice colours, and I hadn't taken much else today!
Brief: design a logo for an Art & Design library.
This is a sketch of a Tawny owl - the most common owl in the UK - taken from my sketchbook. I was working on an owl design and decided to try a realistic image for the logo first. I chose charcoal as I thought it would add texture to the design but as it's a relatively soft medium, it would give a good suggestion of downy feathers. I'm very pleased with how it came out.
More coursework from the VPW workshop. I think this is with a china ball. I liked this guy. He's a light heavyweight. The wolf is his totem animal. I think my totem animal is a marmot.

NEWPORT, R.I. – The U.S. Naval War College (NWC) holds a commencement ceremony for the College of Naval Command and Staff and the College of Naval Warfare 2023 graduating classes June 16, 2023, on board Naval Station Newport. The ceremony, presided over by NWC President Rear Admiral Shoshana Chatfield, saw 468 students from senior-level leadership and intermediate-level leadership courses, including 103 international students representing 78 countries recognized alongside 1,925 students having completed coursework through NWC’s College of Distance Education programs, 121 of whom attended the graduation in person. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, U.S. Representative to the United Nations, gave the commencement address. Established in 1884, NWC is the oldest institution of its kind in the world. More than 50,000 students have graduated since its first class of nine students in 1885 and about 300 of today’s active-duty admirals, generals and senior executive service leaders are alumni. Since creating a program for international officers in 1956, the college has more than 4,500 international alumni from 137 countries worldwide. Approximately 10 percent of these alumni have become chief of their country’s respective navy. Today, NWC continues to deliver excellence in education, research, and outreach, informing today’s decision-makers and educating tomorrow’s leaders. (U.S. Navy photo by Kristopher Burris/Released)
Brief: design a film poster for one of the five films showing at the film festival taking place at a local university. I chose the film Control.
Preliminary sketch to work out the final design of the poster. It's taken from a screenshot showing Sam Riley portraying Ian Curtis at the mic. The angel wing was inspired by the street artist, Eelus.
Gouache on cartridge paper; this was my first time using gouache. The outline of the silhoutte was traced from a printout of the screenshot and the angel wing was added on afterwards. All detail in the wing and the shading was all done by freehand. I'm very pleased with how it came out, particularly the texture in the wing.
Scanned in.

A bit cynical but these days students ability to concentrate on anything other than a computer game is well documented!

Under the project theme of 'abstract'. These photos were inspired by Linder's self Portraiture work series called 'she she'. I enjoyed doing this shoot.
For "Picture This", asked to choose a subject then take photo's and edit them for the type of book genre. For this second love, I took a photo of my mode Naomi, and made the white of her face fill the area, leaving only her eye hair and nose visible.

Well currently I'm learning how to develop 35 mm film, and so this is the beginnings of my write up about it (its not the most exciting experience in the world) but it is interesting. But one of the fun parts about sketch book work is drawing out cool fonts, I have no idea why I find that enjoyable, but there you go. Happy Monday!
Brief: design a film poster for one of the five films showing at the film festival taking place at a local university. I chose the film Control.
Preliminary sketch to work out the final design of the poster. It's taken from a screenshot showing Sam Riley portraying Ian Curtis at the mic.
It's done in charcoal and was my first time ever using that medium. The outline of the image was traced from a printout of the screenshot but all detail and shading was freehand. The line down the right-hand side of the image is because the A4 sheet was too long to go into my supposedly A4 sketchbook so it had to be folded over slightly. Scanned in.
One for my A2 Art&Design Coursework.
For this project I have to include a dissertation-like written essay for my A&D coursework, Given the the theme 'Beginnings' I thought up the project topic of 'Grow.' - looking at the acorn to oak tree concept and how something so small and insignificant can eventually grow to produce a massive body, much more complex than its original form. Im really going to stay away from the digital end for my final peice for the sake of my university application as I think I have that down so ill be working in more traditional media to hopefully bring out some more depth in my portfolio's media spectrum.
So for the photography end of this project (no photog class this year unfortunately :( ) ill be looking at nuts, seeds, beans, roots, shoots/saplings, trees and other fully grown plants. Quite a nice subject type as I do like my still life so it will be interesting to see if I can still draw after the summer break :)
Strobist:
one black studio case/portfolio case as a background
One plant (a thyme shoot I think it was) clamped by the horseshoe mount of my unbrella stand about 2 feet infront of background
natural light from window (90 degrees camera left)
I think I worked this a little too much, roots are very fine so getting the contrast right was tricky.

Guess what is sort of boring? Digital library interoperability! DOI! OAI-PMH! WSDL! Listen, if I wanted a profession full of crazy acronyms ... oh ... wait ... crap.
