- A Year In Design

Day #199

A poster for the new Harry Potter film, based one one of the official posters.

Referencing a game called 'Henry Hatsworth', because in that game you known when it's tea time. Also, I LOVE TEA.

This quote by Ira Glass means more to me than the words of anybody else. It is what keeps me going, despite all of my self doubt.

Another Six Word Story written by Mitch Kampf, given to me by Six Word Story Every Day.

The letter A made from smoke brushes. Might make an interesting font.

A website I built today.

I made some triangle scatter brushes and decided to do something simple with them.

I wanted to make my own birds on a wire style illustration, and the closest wire to me was my PS2 controller.

Something like a wrapped present. Based on a really good colour scheme I found on Kuler. http://kuler.adobe.com/#themeID/1416252

My favourite flower/plant.

Based on a drawing I did back in January, I made some fan art for the upcoming PS3 game 'Journey'. It's such a beautiful game despite being almost entirely empty desert.

Rebuilt my individual project display page as well as the client pages.

Completely restructured, remade, recoded and updated the projects section of my website to reflect what I'm doing... and not be so crap.

I had an ice cream today. It melted on my keyboard.

In February I illustrated a portrait of my friend Ellie. At the time I was so proud, but it always bothered me that I designed it using bands of colour giving it a weird look. So I went back to it with the experience I've gained over the past few months to make it look more realistic. Now the old one looks awful. My technique still needs work, but I am happy with the result.

I wanted to try and get better at illustrating people, so I started simple. Eyes.

Based on the saying used to remember the directions on a compass. I got the idea from Angie Taylor's new book and Jack Wells typography, showing that type can be made from anything. I made type from shredded wheat.

Still bitter about summer.

My new homepage! Much more visually appealing and shows my work better.

Spent the evening drawing. Meant to do something more 'grand' but ended up making some weird stuff. Crystals in a crater, Abraham Lincoln wearing Terminator shades, A Hamster wearing a waistcoat, a pig snout plant (like a potato) and an alien chicken claw.

A vampire bat illustration. Look at him. He's so happy.

Summer makes me think of forest fires for some reason.

I have been melting all day and have had a seriously hard time sleeping because of this heat, so today's design comes from nothing other than my love of winter and hate of summer.

A 'motivational' badge/image thing inspired by 'I Don't Give a Fuck' by Tupac.

Drunk Octopus Wants to Fight You! Based on those coathangers. Here is the image I based it on: http://blogs.westword.com/cafesociety/drunk-octopus-wants-to-fight-you.jpg

A Tron inspired mess of wires.

A square based pattern, based on an ariel view of a city.

Another six word story. I Love Feeling Your Heart Beating. Kind of sappy. Inspired by the glow of heart rate monitors.

An image of an electronic jungle. Wires as vines, cables etc as grass.

Another six word story. The Mysterious Cereal Killer Strikes Again... Kind of a cheesy saying, but plenty of creativity contained within traditionally cheesy things.

I don't... don't know.

A poster to celebrate the release of The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 3DS. One of the best games ever made. Very deliberately a poster not in the style of the game.

Another six word story. Chocolate makes the world go round!

I know some of you out there are big Duke fans... and he has some great quotes, most of which he stole from films.

The start of a tattoo design. The closed eyes are supposed to create a mood of peacefulness. The flower is not mine, it is from the new City & Colour album. I can't take credit for how great it looks. I will finish to design at a later date.

A motivational banner of some description.

Pretty Flowers

This needs a lot more work, but I like the idea.

A minimalist poster for the Shinmoedake volcano eruption in Japan back in March. I wanted to represent it in the most simple geometic way I could. I think it would make a classy Geography book cover.

Sun. Sea. Sand.

Another quote that I love. Saul Bass is a genius, and his message here can be felt and understood by everyone. Life is beautiful, and everything we do should be as well.

Love this quote.

Seeing a slightly darker look for Shepard and overall in Mass Effect 3 I made an image (based on the box art) featuring the omni-tool blade.

The moon. I want to go there.

Another 6 word story inspired by lyrics from 'Crazy He Calls Me' by Billie Holiday. Uses part of an old design I did last year.

This is a birthday present for my number one fan Natalie. Couldn't decide whether I prefered colour or not, so here's both.

A steampunk... costume? An illustration of a steampunk getup at any rate. Mainly goggles and top hat.

Jon 'Trollface' Saxby, for his birthday. Used the liquidator tool to try and manipulate his face. Terrifying.
