v.3



I will hopefully be screen printing this piece at my elective. If it goes well and I figure out a way to make the registration perfect, I will definitely continue to make a series of these portraits and sell them as prints.

UFC GIF - BRIEF

"I want to create a new blog that is aimed at UFC fans, which is frequently updated with new, exciting and weird gifs of the stars of the UFC"

I'm am really keen on creating gif images and I'm a massive fan of the UFC, so I thought a will have a go at combining the two. I wanted to pick a topic that had a lot of content to work with and that appealed to a specific audience for their own visual pleasure. I will try and relate to current topics within the UFC community and try and give the subjects a humorous twist, whilst aiming to try and develop my own style within creating gifs that will be unique to my blog, and will hopefully entice people into following my blog.

v.2

3 colour rule



This is a piece I created for my print elective, coming up in April.

The figure that I've created is a portrait of the man in the rocking chair from the RAG piece I did the other week. I'm really pleased with how it's coming on, I just feel that it's not quite there yet. Not too sure on what colours to choose, will hopefully gain more knowledge on the subject during Christian's colour theory lecture.

RAG print



Finished the prints for the RAG fete today, after failing at it on Tuesday. One will be featured in the raffle and a few are going to be sold on one of the stalls for £2 each. I am very pleased with how they've turned out and I wish that I printed more for the stall. Pretty gutted that I'm absent for the fete as I'm off on a barge for the weekend, but I hope they sell well and raise a few quid for charity.

The brief I set myself was to silk screen a limited run of prints to sell at the rag fair. To create a kind of souvenir for a select few people to take away with them to remember to the first rag week that took place at our college. There wasn't much development work that went into this design, as I wanted to get the ball rolling with this project and to prove to myself that i can at least create something satisfactory without having to do any development work. I think I achieved this very well with this brief and I am happy with what I created.
