The Waitress

This was done for the ISTD student awards. The brief was to illustrate Jack Zipe's 'The Waitress' using mainly typography. Since The Waitress is a fairy tale written by a modern author I wanted to use the same sort of decorative style that manuscripts from the past used, yet in a fresh, clean way. I'm super happy with how it came out.

The Animated Still

This brief was to come up with a brochure based on movie stills, which was also had to create ourselves. I decided to try to make one dedicated to animated movies so I could do a little bit of illustration.

Zines

For this brief we had to create a set of 3 zines. I chose to base them all on cake recipes. Each one would be a different cake to make. I was sort of trying to bring a 60's housewife vibe yet make it modern.

Museum of Alchemy

Well, it's been a while, but I thought I'd finally put up some of the projects I did last year that I never got the time to post.


This project was based on creating a stationary set for an obscure museum that we could make up. I chose one that exhibits anything related to alchemy because I thought it might be fun to play with the symbols they use and also try and I also thought that trying making something with an air of mystery about it would be an interesting challenge. Besides the basic stationary; business cards, letterhead and enevelop, we had to make one other object, so I chose to design the packaging for a 'grow your own philosophers stone' kit.

Hand Tool

Ok, so this on was really fun too! We had to design a poster based on our favourite hand tool. It could have been anything from a pencil to a spork. I chose a pen because it's what I use for pretty much every project, wether it's just in the begining sketches or, like in this one, the whole project. I set up this landscape as a kind of diarama thing and I really liked playing around with the 3D elements

Phobias

I've got a lot to upload today since I've been so busy over the last month or so! For out Illustration as Design class we had to come up with a series of book covers each dedicated to a different phobia. I'll let you see if you can figure out which phobias these are yourselves.

Huckleberry Finn

The brief for this one was to create a poster based on a musical using pretty much only type. I've been wanting to try hand drawing type for ages and I had heaps of fun doing this one.
