I wasn't happy with my park pictograms so I set my mind to creating something more personal and fun. The process for creating these was the same as the earlier park pictograms, though these are much more refined.

With this experiment, I took inspiration from WEDZICKA's process of creating a glitch effect. I started by printing the word glitch on a piece of paper. The while scanning it, it deliberately moved the paper around with the goal of distorting the words.

I am particularly interested in this style of design, and it was fun to use different methods and mediums in creating this effect.

Memphis style is bold, fun and playful. It lends itself to both clean and contemporary design while still pushing traditional boundaries. For these reason, this is my chosen mood board.

While my goal of creating beautiful content is still my main focus, my keys words changed from collaborate, learn and adapt. As I explored my personal style this semester, I realised that I value bold, contemporary and minimalistic design more.

I was inspired by this artwork by 275c. It is featured as a print from Matt Blatt. I thought that it was a great way to explore, and refine how sound can inspire line work, resulting in my final work, Happier.

I have followed her work for a while now, and I am really intrigued by her strong use of colour and glitch components. She really pushes the boundaries of what art can be. This specific item is a great use of two-tone editorial design.

Again, I really admire the minimal use of colour, though it is still super bold and strong, with a funky take on a glitch effect

Jessica Tucker is the woman behind mother.tucker.makes and a personal friend from Cardiff, Wales. She has an amazing neo-traditional style. Neo-traditional artwork is something that I would definitely like to try. Not only that. but Jessica also experiments with different mediums which I find inspirational.

Maestra the Label is a Brisbane startup that does some really bold and contemporary prints. I love their use of colour and line work.

This is the collection of photos that I took every day for three weeks. I was really interesting in capturing my everyday adventures, as I find inspiration in discovering new places. I also spent some time highlighting the juxtaposition between urbanisation and nature.

This experiment called for dragging a pencil across the page without lifting it. I did my best to move it in a free flowing movement, giving the lines and organic feel. Then I coloured sections in to make an abstract panda.

These lines reflect sound. The music that was played was incredibly harsh and varied, which is reflected in the jagged and erratic lines.

I experimented further with the idea of sound and the movement that it can invoke.

I was listening to Happier Than Ever by Billie Eilish when drawing these soft, flowing lines.

275c's artwork of United Strangers served as the basis for this piece.

I scanned the lines I drew into photoshop, and increased the brightness and contrast to blowout the whites and blacks. The next step was to take that into Illustrator and image trace and expand all the times.

Each element was then organised into a circular shape to give it a really organic and peaceful feel that is reminiscent of the tone of the song.

Above is one of the pages that I drew for the lines that has been edited in photoshop to be of high contrast

After taking this self portrait, I imported it into Illustrator. Using the pen tool, I traced around each element individually to create this vectorised version.

I intend to use this avatar as a professional representation of myself on my portfolio.

For my self map, I decided to push the boundaries of what a map was. Ultimately I ended up pursuing the idea of what a a blueprint of myself would include.

It was important for me to capture my signature style, and therefore I included some of the things that I frequently wear. Including a handmade scrunchie, necklace and reading glasses.

The process involved taking a photo of myself and these items and editing them individually in photoshop. The first step was to desaturate each image, increase the contrast, then run a filter to find the edges.

The final image was then masked with the pen tool, and laid over the familiar colour of a blueprint, changing the blending mode to screen, and adding annotations about each item.

It fits the brief of being a self-map while still being experimental and it challenged me to try a different style and I'm really happy with the result.
