Dashing through the snoww

We're making visual guides on how to do certain tasks, mines "Building a snowman". My tutor suggested making a set of handmade christmas cards, so naturally i am making an advent calander instead. With simple step by step craft picture instructions inside each of the doors.



However stupidly i did not plan it out and ended up with only 24 stages loool... unless the 25th one is the snowman melting but that kinda takes the cheer away. Hm, im gona do a proper drawing for the front tomorrow, then find a way to make it into a giant advent calander. This brief is funnnn!! :)

Chocolate 'Baah'

We are so not calling it that. Gone back to one of our early designs now, since the previous ones didn't relate enough to dreams. I drew like 20 different styled sheep yesterday. Spent today trying to adapt them to clouds, im probably better at drawing the sheep in all honesty. Cassie's the computer wizz.

Some basic drawings to show
various styles and compositions. Since we need at least one decent one by monday. And a less stupid name!

Reverie semi final designs

Latest designs for our chocolate, we're coming up with new ones by the day it's hard to decide.










Also we've avoided 3 crits in a row now, so have absolutely no idea what our tutors are gona think of the designs lool... just sorta running with it.

Year of the fly :)

Probably the only Annual Fly calander in the world, and i made it :)
I tried to make it as gross as physically possible :D but its prob best not to post some of the pages so heres some of the milder ones:


















Photos were taken in and around stoke and stafford junkyard, with a little help from photoshop. designed it on illustrator andd used a BINDING MACHINE to put it together. Although the binder could be better i need to find a more professional way to do it. As for hanging it on the wall, im working on it!

Reverie and Keverie

Few quick designs for our chocolate packaging (which we think is gona be a circular tin of white chocolates) Reverie meaning dream, cause it tastes good you will actually dream about it! The pattern is based on a dream catcher as is the feather but also could be from a pillow. Cassie drew the feather n i drew the dream catcher, both in illustrator.




I realllly wanna make the chocolates too cause how impressive would that be! Perhaps if we have time, white choc could be hard though cause a lot of the cheap stuff tastes a bit weird.
Also made Kevin his birthday card :) He's finally double decades! He gave me a chocolate that he'd made from scratch, and im not gona lie... it was DISGUSTING!
So i spat it out in the skip.
