A Year In Design

Day #120

A landscape image inspired by the Xbox game Limbo. It's about a boy who has lost his sister, and I have represented them with a broken swing set.

Parody of Saul Bass' anatomy of a murder poster with Portal 2.

Another City & Colour album cover.

Some Alexisonfire lyrics for what is either a Vinyl record or a speaker.

An album cover for my favourite band, city and colour. I just picked a good colour scheme and went with the idea of blocks of colour (like sky scrapers) a bit literal, but a minimalist result.

A strange pattern faded on paper.

An abstract image made from arcs, made to look almost like an eye.

Swirling square pattern. Inspired by Persona 4.

This is actually a remake of something I illustrated last year. This was my first try at something like this and it was tiny and only 72dpi. I wanted an A3 version for my end of year show so I remade it from scratch with the knowledge I've gained. It's smoother, A3 300dpi and better overall.

Heavy on meaning, little to the actual design this time. Today was a bad day for the internet. Sony's Playstation Network went down, websites hosted on Amazon's service went down due to catastrophic hard drive business (every hard drive tried to back itself up apparently), and other services like World of Warcraft were not doing so well.

My favourite website, Giantbomb.com, has been down all day.

Even clouds have dreams. Bonus points if you can spot the hidden message.

A geeky Star Wars sticker to warn people of traps.

Saw something about the next Batman film today so I made a very minimalist, slightly sinister design.

Just playing with making my own scatter brushes and colour.

For some reason I really like making sunny, natural scenes for summer from scratch.

No anger issues. Let it all go.

21st June, start of the summer solstice. The earths axis is pointed most towards the sun.

A man riding a hybrid horse/camel that I made using royalty free stock photos.

Designed a custom ace of spades. I want to design a whole deck and get them made.

My 100th image! Wooo! This one is kind of obscure. We have Jeff Gerstmann (videogame journalist) on a date with Chie Satonaka (game character, Persona 4). He is far too obsessed with his steak whereas she loves steak so much that she has already finished.
