Opening sequence idea for The Nightingale by Hans Christian Andersen.

Fructiv Advertisement tutorial

This is the Pete Harrison tutorial which focuses very much on using the pen tool. I learnt a lot in this tutorial as I haven't used the pen tool very much.

Illustrating with a social conscience

These are my social conscience posters. We were asked to highlight particular social issues and cater an ad to those audiences. For the first one I chose sexualisation of teens. Our children and teenagers have adult sexual themes imposed on them at crucial development stages.  Women's Forum Australia says that "these impositions may compromise the child's psychological development. Children and teenagers do not have the same capacity to make informed decisions and exercise appropriate judgement. Premature sexualisation impedes cognitive development, limits children's freedom and is linked with serious mental health problems." 

There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children 

- Nelson Mandela

For the second poster I chose use the 'say no to smoking concept'. The role that smoking plays in our society is a scary one. Whilst using the typical approach of a horrifying image I used a different approach with the text. This was aimed at women and plays on the part of that audience that are always striving to be beautiful. There is nothing beautiful about smoking.

Design Brief

Exclusive opportunity to broadcast out to space for designers!

Company profile

NASA stands for National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The United States government started NASA in 1958 and is in charge of U.S. science and technology related to airplanes or space.
NASA, among many things, makes satellites; send probes out into space and help scientists learn more about the Earth. NASA scientists also study things in the solar system and even further away. NASA is working on a new program, which will send humans to the moon, Mars and beyond.

Target Audience and objective
Our main objective is to communicate with any other possible life forms that may be living beyond Earth. We would like to broadcast and project a message of peace out to space, encouraging the other possible life forms to respond if they so exist. We are unaware of how advanced they are in technology, intelligence and language. With such limited information of any other possible life forms we are catering to an audience of much variety.

The message
The message needs to strongly communicate a friendly, welcoming, approachable and responsive message of peace and trust. We want our audience to understand that we are curious to know if there are any other existing life forms out there and that we would like to kindly hear from them if there are. We are looking for innovation in ideas that communicate a concise message with simplicity. The message must not include any language because it is highly unlikely that it is legible for our audience. The message may communicate some further understanding about Earth and our many different cultures.

·      Attached are some examples of the general idea of our message. We are, however, very open to original and creative ideas.

The chosen designer will have exactly four weeks to complete the design.
Please email us with any queries and applications.

A line is a dot

My original idea was to literally have a line that morphed into a lot of little dots that then morphed into something else, perhaps ants or fluttering butterflies. I interpreted 'a line is a dot' as something that could transform or morph into something different. I decided to use lots and lots of little butterflies that together represented one large butterfly. I stumbled upon this image on the internet and liked the idea of it. It became the inspiration for this piece. .

I used these butterflies as templates for butterfly shapes. I used these shapes and rotated them so that I could use them in different directions..

Once I had my brush presets I found an image of a butterfly to use as a template and point of reference so that I would end up with a credible shape.

I then saved the image without the butterfly template and opened it in a new page. I dragged an image of ink over the top and created a clipping mask so that the ink would only be seen where the butterflies were.
