letter press


i love it. Seriously once you've come up with that really strong idea you can show off and create something so imperfect and say a bit f you to our computer generated world. Im not a big fan of text, i have limited understanding but this i get. letter press is hands on creativity and a joy to work with.
Out of everything i've done this term this is without a doubt my favorite and probably the most effective. Plus i'm a smart arse that loves my phrase, i think that defiantly for fills the brief of boundaries! this is my biggest boundary, and i hate it, boundaries are there to be pushed, broken... na mate there there so you can stay commercial and within them otherwise you'll be morally great but dead poor.

final editorial illustration.


This is my final editorial illustration. Ihad so many ideas that i could quite exicute sucessfully enough but im proud of my final outcome, its simple and a realistic illustration. I have also used my new skills on photoshop and used them with water colour, something im very strong with.
i have put this into photoshop and burn the colours slightly and chnaged the contrast because im not sure if its my screen or my scanner but it doesnt look colourful enough, in real life its wonderful. promise....

main income or WI?

this is another piece for visual equations. M y intended rhetoric is that the viewer is not sure which semantic this image belongs to. Is she the earner of the main income or is she a winner of a competition for her baking skills.

i wanted to find a strong successful looking woman, with an air of elegance abut her, yet feminine enough to hint an opposite connotation. This found image is perfect as she's almost blank, giving nothing away, as though she were a harsh business woman, yet delicate enough to suggest incompetence. ( trying to find a better word)

a simple sketch from poole

i really liked this sketch but this is actually, self composed. I couldn't find anything that interested me and i felt like this was the scene i would 'like' to see. Bit as we all know, women dont wear hats anymore and people in suits have no time to stop, and look.

editorial equation.

i would like you to consider this image. To understnd from a female view point. To empathise. She, like most of us, strives for beauty, because society says we should be, we should be slim, yet curvy, sophisticated, lady like, feminine, beautiful. Women sacrifice so much, to fit into this sterotype, we use corsets, diets, makeup, hair dye, wax, facials pedicures. why? to fit into that sterotype, the one we all hate. it makes no sense, this illustration is intended to highlight that, women go through so much, and yet sum feel as though they cant indulge in a simple comfort like food, because beauty is a set rule. beauty requires discipline and sacrifice. Now to me that seems like antithisis how 2 complete opposites make one sad twisted truth.


In my head this image makes perfect sense and fits in the with brief of opposites, but im really finding it hard to explain, maybe that proves my design is weak?
