heres the first image on the 1 cut book. Due to me having no mic I'm going to give a quick explanation. The pages are made from a mix of marbling and an old photoshoot from my friends music video, the words over are lyrics from his songs (my favourite ones). These mean alot to me due to not long ago my friend passing away. the images have been edited through photoshop and includes various people. the physical book didn't turn out how id hope due to me having a crap printer so ive attatched the original ones too.

In this first project, I wanted to remind myself why I have chosen to study art, thing that most of the time I forget trying to give up. The creation is focus on positiveness, good vibes and how to keep focus even though it can be hard to build a career into Art industry. (Also,any aspect of life can be tough but, it is never impossible). Finally, this year I have taken the decision to follow my dreams, no matter what others think. 😊

It was really amazing to see how I created a draft with my ideas and how I challenged myself to come up with this result.

# data[].attributes.body
It was truly an amazing challenge! I wanted to create a book with my values, some reminders for the future for me as a person and as an artist, and maybe for some other people (who may read it). I had an idea in my head, which was working fine digitally. But ... after the printing, I understood that the outcome was a bit different (mainly the color palette). But everything is fine, I like it anyways. I would appreciate the feedback a lot! Thanks

And I also added two additional pages so there are 10 full pages with values ( together with the cover and the final page).

Design Winter School Feedback Week 1 - Oliver O'Keeffe

# data[].attributes.body
I had such a fun time creating this mini 1 cut book. For week 1 I thought of making my manifesto about being positive and optimistic. Being mindful of having positive thoughts and an optimistic outlook on life is crucial. I believe everyone attracts what they feel and think therefore, it is important that your perception of life is the best it can be. The printed version was very low in saturation because of my not so good printer. I used Procreate to draw the illustrations and InDesign to arrange the pages. I've included the digital version below.

Design Winter School :Week 3 Stay at Home Comic

# data[].attributes.body
I forgot to do the sketches sorry. I presented it my 'egg' as a information / commercial poster because i found it funny to present it like this. The 'B-egg' materials are simple plastic i cut and burned the edges to seal. After a few leakages i decided to add thin layers of tape around the edges to stop the leaking.

# data[].attributes.body
With this project I have few issues to find the final design to safely carry eggs. Moreover, different kind of questions came to my mind  and doing few researches, I came with an idea. As the last week, I had so much fun designing the container and creating the unique prototype.

You can find all the information in a PDF and a small sketch of my ideas.

For week 2, I found that I had to problem solve in order to get the design that I initially wanted. Fortunately, it all worked out in the end. I came up with 5 sketches and decided to follow through with fifth one.

Character Design Brief - Week 4 - Design Winter School

# data[].attributes.body
Here is my story board, its quite simple with a little bit of animation. I wanted to keep everything quite simple as what i think the best part of lockdown was simple. I like the texturing on the darker parts and how it feels drawn.

This quarentine was a tough period for myself but at the end, I found balanced between what I have to do and a bit of time for myself.

Throughout this little comic I wanted to represent how in the same day I was up and down. Some times doing opposite things.. However, I have learnt to have time to relax and be mindful with myself.

# data[].attributes.body
Good morning!

The first lockdown was quite a stressful time for me. But it occurred that it was also a meaningful period in terms of self-analysis and general life questions (very philosophical haha).

That was the main theme for this task.

Cheers

Design Winter School - Session 4 Recording

During lockdown, I decided to highlight my hair by myself. However, that didn’t go as planned and I messed it all up by highlighting all of it. Luckily everyone was in lockdown so nobody got to see my awful hair. Fortunately, I came up with an idea to cover the mess by dying my hair pink.

# data[].attributes.body
I am a big fan of fruits and veggies. I love different music subcultures. What if I mix it all?

Here are my characters:

punk strawberry

hippy pear

goth eggplant

metal pineapple

and my favorite ska celeriac. I've decided to animate this one

# data[].attributes.body
Hope, it's not too heavy

sam- think i did the vid a lil too complicated

# data[].attributes.body
This activity was a bit tough for me because I could not get how to draw to have my character moving.
Anyway, there is a first time for everything and I have so much fun challenging myself once again.

I did a first sketch to see how the app worked, which would be the first Gif. (it is upside down 🙃)

# data[].attributes.body
This is the final result after so much drawing and analyse the activity.

I would like to thank you for this 4 weeks where I have enjoyed seeing how these projects made me challenge myself.

Hello there,

Firstly I’m attaching the Character Design task, which I missed last week. When I was designing it, I thought it was abstract. In the end it appeared that this character is closely related to me and my cat.
