1st year magic animation

magic

I researched into the wiccan religion and found that most of the spells they perform require a candle of a certain colour. e.g. white=positive energy

black=negative energy

Fire also has a magical, hypnotic quality to it so I wanted to portray the same feeling.

 first experimented with photographing candles on a low shutter speed to create orb-like light. played around with the contrast on photoshop.

I wanted to create more feeling of movement with the flame, so my final piece became a stop frame animation, which was on a USB stick inside a 'magic box' I made.

Photographs taken in my home town Stratford upon Avon.
I like observing the way people interact, so I decided to capture the different ways people eat.

^^^^This one is my favourite.

book project

Another 1st year brief; buy an old book and make work form it.

I found this old pocket book dictionary on short hand and was interested in the symbols used for each word.

I decided to create my own pocket book; "The Pocket Book of People's Pockets"

I wrote down all items typically found in people's pockets, and combined the symbol for the items with illustration.

Love Labels

Was asked to design a typeface and logo for clothing company.
Used two sizes of a heart shape to create it.

Reminds me of wire coat hangers.
