Natural Beauty

These are the first of a series of drawings which I'm creating towards the theme of natural beauty. I'm hoping to build a strong portfolio focusing on this sort of subject matter as I think its much more interesting and original than some of my more recent work. I'm quite pleased with the outcome of these drawings too as they were quite a challenge to produce and I've learn't alot during the process.

 

I've always been interested in the idea of taking something out of it's context and giving it a new meaning. I recently whent to a concert and as usual took way too many photos. Light has always intrigued me in terms of the different shapes, tones and colours it makes and I thought it would be really interesting to see it from a new perspective - seperated from any logical focus or shape. What I've ended up with is a series of abstract and colourful images.

Bob Dylan

Here are some colour variations for the banner. I decided to keep the colour palet simple so not to distract from the image of the hall. The middle image works best for me, some small changes will be made to the shades of colour and arrangement but this is much closer to the final design.

Village Hall Brief

I've been given a brief to design a logo for my local village hall. This is a rough design for the logo which is still in the very early stages - the layout, typography and colour are still to be decided on. I feel the imagery works well as it gives the right feel for a rural community, complimented by the style in which it is presented.
