On top is an image I created by drawing in biro then rendering on Illustrator. Below is a Rough idea for a double page magazine layout I created by repeating my drawn pattern. I want to experiment more with this technique of using a biro then reworking digitally, I like the effect it creates.

These two images are different compositions of a previous image. I wanted these images to look less human and more computerised I think I have achieved this.

The image on the bottom I created using the two eyes from the 3D glasses, I wanted to play with our relationship with technology, and how our society used to fear it I think this works reasonably well because this image reminds of the computer from 2001 a space odyssey. The image on top I created by scrambling it on Illustrator and the screen grabbing it.

This is an image I created by photographing my face with 3D glasses on and then editing using photoshop. I wanted to give this image a sci-fi feel, to play with relationship between humans and technology. I want try some other compositions of this image.

These are two images I created by scanning in brown paper and a match box, then stencilling type on with ink. I tried splashing on a border with ink but I feel the empty space around the original lets the composition work better.

These are the images I produced by editing the photographs. I like that there is more of a depth to these images rather than being just 2d.

For this image I wanted to make a 3d model using negative space. I cut out bits of paper and card board then assembled and photographed them. I am now going to edit the photographs to create a bolder image.

These two images I have traced with marker then added colour and repeated pattern using illustrator. Using negative space usually makes type less legible but more interesting which draws more attention to the message.

This image explores negative space in letter forms. I placed a view finder over some printed text and traced the negative space to create 12 different compositions. I like the way some of the space joins between different squares.

In this image I experimented with negative and positive space and the way it effects how you read text. To create I cut out a stencil, splashed it with ink and then added colour using illustrator.

The image on the left I traced using a grey marker pen to give a scratchy effect. I then exported to illustrator  and repeated the image in red and blue to make a 3D anaglyph image.

Negative space project

The two above images I have created by compressing the text and then tracing the negative space with a marker pen, I have then traced in illustrator and added colour. I tried different amounts of negative space and found this was most interesting yet still legible. 

I decided to revisit the map stencil images and make the photographs more prominent. Also I have printed these straight onto brown paper i think these images are more successful to the ones prior.

This is my found alphabet that I have created from boat names.

I think the variety different weathered fonts work well 

to describe the feel of the docks. 

I wanted to revisit "journey'', above I have cut out a world map stencil and coloured using ink.

Here I have added photos of Bristol harbour to give a sense of how boats from it carry trade and industry around the world. 

Here I have desaturated and added text, however I feel the colour one describes Bristol more.

These are two continuations of my pub conversation drawings. I repeated, enlarged and added colour to the drawings to make them more patterned and abstract. I feel these add a new dimension to the original.

Found Alphabet

Walking around Bristol Harbour I've found a lot of interesting boat names. This has given me the idea to create an alphabet using individual letters from the names of boats. I am going to try and look for interesting weathered and rusted letters to give a nautical feel.

Continuation of Drawing

This a drawing I did depicting a conversation in the pub. I stuck to the rule of using one continues line I feel this effect worked reasonably well. I'm going to continue editing this image maybe making it more abstract and trying to add colour.

Absorbing the atmosphere of a place

For this I sat in a pub for two hours. I decided to try drawing people, I haven't really worked like this before and wanted to challenge myself. I feel the above sketches have some good aspects like the abstract look of the faces, however I don't think they work overall.

This image is part of an argument in the pub, I made it more basic using one continuos line. i feel this approach gives more impact, I'm going to try further this idea working in the same style.
