I ended up producing two bound books. One using beer mats and ripping them up and painting on top of them, i then used screen printing to print drinking games onto them. This was a creative way of encouraging socialising between groups. I then went on to use this on a night in with my friends. From this I used the beer cans used to make another bound book, like a documentation, as a sweet reminder of a good night.
A series of beer-mats i produced in Print trying to bring a more colourful side to ‘Bud’, encouraging the consumption by applying a drinking game on the mats which also persuades interaction and socialising. I found the process of unpicking the original layers of the label and then thinking about how to reproduce the colours extremely interesting.
...and a piece produced from the idea of the comfort and influences i receive from horoscopes. I loved the freedom given with this task and that we were left to produce whatever we liked.
Alternative Self-portrait – Looking into illustrating different aspects of my character. Sketchbook work which helped me develop and compare ideas, leading to a piece shown bottom right...
Alternative Self-Portrait: sketchbook work experimenting with alternative ways of photographing and illustrating myself...
A darkroom experience – left to venture by ourselves to see what images we could create. I loved the rustic, worn down vibe from this derelict building and found it has let me take some beautiful up-close images.
We were presented with the task of producing an abstract painting for our project. First we made three test pieces to get used to the flow of the paint and shapes/colours that worked well together and then moved on to developing a larger A1 piece. I used inspiration from my previous sketches and built up a layered painting – a very invigorating task.
