One of my favourite websites is www.thisiswhyimbroke.com. this website is a collection of various objects ranging from the ultimate pocket knife to your very own space invaders couch! all of the stuff on the website has been designed simply for fun as well as entertainment. I can only look forward to being able to design and create such neat things!

I never would have thought that by adding interesting graphics to an ordinary tent would some how make it extraordinary! These tents are bound to get someones attention!

This just looked very neat! I thought it was a very interesting take on our traditional cup cake rappers.

Here is another great resource to find great illustration ideas http://www.studioonfire.com/. Studio on fire is more of a letterpress studio but never the less, they still continue to inspire me.

Earlier this evening I believe that I am now one with the print production checklist. I am beginning to see and understand it's many in depth specification requests.

3D scale models have to be one of the most challenging things to create from the base concept development to the actual final product. I am finding that there is always another problem solving issue up a head when working on a project such as this. Anything from burning off a good portion of your thumb to miniature furniture assembly, what will I be able to accomplish next?

I appoligize for the "darkness" of the image, I wanted to showcase the additional lighting that I had added.

I never really realised how frustrating it can be sometimes as a graphic designer when you know exactly what font your looking for, but you refuse to pay an insane amount of money for it, so frustrating, does anyone have any solutions?

I would love to extend a huge thank you to the staff at Thrive Studio for allowing me to come into their tattoo studio to take photographs for my museum project.

Thank- you again truly,

sample cover for my museum catalogue, thoughts and comments are welcome :)

Shiny object photography has to be one of the hardest things to do perfectly without the help of photoshop to edit afterwards. Here was my attempt, that has also been designed into a product advertisement.

Another interesting assignment... to combine photography with illustration to create the idea that the "character" illustration belongs within the photograph by using shading with a combination of dodge and burn tools. This was a challenging but also very rewarding assignment, a large thank you goes out to my model, Kaitlin.

I have recently designed a seasonal package for H & M's clothing and accessories. I took a blurry photograph of christmas balls and then further photoshopped the image to get the desired "boken" effect. It would mean a lot to me to get some more feed back to see if it really works as a seasonal line extension of the H & M's brand.

When researching ideas for creating characters I stumbled across this website : http://humorsurf.blogspot.com/2011/07/funny-characters-pics.html it's great for gathering new fresh ideas for illustrations as well as animations. The Yum Yum Design Studio was founded in 2007 by two London art directors. This site is a great source for references and ideas, and is well networked into similar sites.
