The Ladykillers

So I haven't had a chance to upload any of my old stuff yet! But soon.
This brief was for my typography class. You had to choose a movie that was playing at the astor theatre (they play a mix of old and new films. I've heard it's a pretty cool place. I want to go) So I chose The Ladykillers, the 1955 version not the newer one with Tom Hanks, because I really like the style of some of the movies from that time, and also its a black comedy which is always fun to work with. Then with that movie you had to design a set of eight lobby cards.
This is what I came up with:

The frames are on angles because of the lopsided pictures in the old lady's house. The background is meant to be like the wallpaper and I wanted all the scenes to look as if they've just been interrupted. You might not be able to see very well but in the last image, the title one, there's a reflection of the scarf guy in the newspaper one. If you've watched the movie you might know who it is.

Peter Pan

Hah. Well, that drawing a day didn't exactly go to plan, but that's ok. I've recently started uni and one of the classes asks for a drawing a day so hopefully that'll keep me practising!

Anyway, I thought that maybe I'd turn this into not just a illustration blog but a design blog too!

I've just finished our first project for the Graphic Design class. The brief was to design a book cover/jacket thing. When we first got the brief they showed us examples of what students had done before and they. were. so. good. So good! It was terrifying!!

Anyway I decided to do Peter Pan for my book. And I new I wanted to do something illustrative and have the jacket and the book cover somehow interact. So I came up with this:

Which I'm pretty happy with. This is only a quick digital mock up, later I hope to take a proper photo of it. So the window on the jacket is meant to be like the window in the nursery that they fly out of to start their adventures. Hope you like it!

Maybe later I'll post some work I did for the course I did before this?
