The last journey of that sort for a while I think. •

I'm a UK based illustrator currently studying at

The work I produce is a mixture of both analog and digital illustration. Inspiration, for me, comes from many things. Some of my true loves include 17th Century architecture, household animals and portraiture. At age 21, I made it a challenge for myself to overcome the hatred I had for computers; a year down the line and I've found something I love. Using procreate, Adobe Illustrator and After Effects, I'm building a collection of gifs and videos all created by moi. I have a basic understanding of graphic design which aids me to organise text on an illustrated page.

For this project we were tasked with summarising a film of our choice using 10 images posted in a social media context. As blogs are social media, this is it.

I chose Dredd (2012), the criminally underrated film based on the 2000 AD comic series Judge Dredd.

Dredd's setting is complex and unique, a dystopian future in which the earth has been ravaged by nuclear war and climate change humanity dwells in gigantic cities stretching the length of continents known as Mega Cities. Within Mega Cities, unemployment, boredom, and crime run rampant. The only people keeping order within mega cities are the dictatorial authoritarian police force known as Judges, judges have the responsibility to be judge, jury, and executioner regarding all crime within mega cities, carrying out on-the-spot judgements for any and all criminal infractions.

(The following paragraph is most of the film premise in text, I'd advise skipping past it, and viewing the images first)
Dredd (2012) focuses on a single day of Judge Dredd's career as a street judge, the day Judge Dredd is tasked with evaluating the viability of a special-case rookie judge Cassandra Anderson. Anderson is a mutant with psychic abilities, her psychic abilities are what allows her to progress to an evaluation despite failing the entrance exam. Dredd accompanies Anderson out on patrol, allowing her to call the shots as he evaluates her performance.
Anderson decides they will respond to a triple homicide in the Mega Block Peachtrees, after investigating this particularly gruesome and public crime, the pair of judges track down and detain the prime suspect and intend to interrogate him back at the station. However, Peachtrees goes into a state of lockdown just before they exit, leaving them trapped inside. It is made apparent that the lockdown was no accident, Peachtrees is under control by a crime syndicate determined to kill both judges and stop them from interrogating their suspect. With no way out, and plenty of criminals out to get them, Dredd & Anderson must fight their way up through all two hundred floors to regain control of the mega block and deal with the crime syndicate.

I feel like Dredd (2012), despite being dismissed as gratuitously violent and departing from its source material, manages to tell it's story through considered imagery interwoven with calculated minimalist dialogue, it's very pragmatic and efficient just like it's titular protagonist (I would argue Anderson is the primary protagonist however).
​
I've no doubt the subtlety and nuance of the film is somewhat lost in my interpretation despite my best efforts to broaden every definition in the brief to my advantage (37 panel comic as 10 images because the pages are one image each, technically). Despite that, I had fun with this project. I played around with watercolour, had a subject I was passionate about, and discovered why comic pages are rarely in landscape (the composition is hellish (maybe I'm just not practiced enough in comic composition yet)).

The inclusion of quotes from the film to accompany my imagery helps carry the lack of dialogue, and text in general within my comic, by providing additional context that also links back to the source material. It really helps that almost all the dialogue in Dredd (2012) is memorable and impactful, so its capacity to assist alongside imagery is even greater.
However including quotes directly from the film itself may give the impression that I expect the audience to have already seen the film (which you should if you haven't, just because it's a good film) but I believe the effectiveness of the quotes when accompanied with my images is not compromised if there's no prior knowledge of the film, the quotes themselves merely add additional context to my images and do not rely on prior knowledge.

While my image making may be quite amateur in the watercolour medium, the experimentation was a worthwhile endeavour and a fun experience. Even with the challenge of landscape comic composition and unfamiliar medium, I feel like I've successfully managed to convey the gist of Dredd (2012) in my 10 images.

This project was split into two halves, in the first we were tasked with exploring colour and composition, creating compositions with restrictions and mixing paint to create colours.
In the second half we were to create three distinct book covers for a book titled "The Tree", the genre of these book covers were to be Horror, Sci-Fi, and a Children's Book. These covers were to be done using the same approach as three artists, Anne Yvonne Gilbert, Charles Keeping, and Brad Holland.

For this project I was tasked with taking a piece of artwork from selected artists, and then trying to create a copy. This exercise encouraged me to research artists and materials, then reverse-engineer artistic techniques to create the effect I was looking for.
This project was fun, as it was simply working with materials to create a known result. Good practice.

For this project, every person in our art studio was tasked to create a single page featuring a few words from a song that was jumbled up by running it through google translate several times. All of these pages were compiled into a single book that was then sold at the Lakes Comic Art Festival.

I've grouped some of the more visual and interesting parts of my development work and my final page.

Fashion magazines may include a set of thematically-linked images spread across several pages to convey a rhetoric.
Telling a story through fashion photography requires a conscious art-direction and multiple composed photographs so that all elements add to the narrative.

The following fashion story is from the 1985 October edition of British Vogue magazine.

Hi I'm Phoebe but you can call me Peebs

I'm an illustration student based in the University of Cumbria or Wales depending on the time of year and the state of the world. I mostly specialise in digital art and illustration and I have a sad sad passion for comics and animation. I probably should sound and look more professional but that just seems a bit boring, dunnit? I'm obsessed with pink and I have a fascination with Japanese culture and those two things alone seem to influence my work (I swear I'm not just another anime artist.) Enjoy your stay while you're here!

Submit to your pink overlord.

I had a look at a few things related to Cornwall just to make sure I can tie it into the band stories.

I also did a few T-Shirt designs with the handwritten signatures and the band logo that I designed on the side.

I am planning to try and write up backstories for the characters along with a first album cover and a little comic of how the band met.

I did a little style change piece for fun. I wanted to see what Scrunglo would look like in different famous art styles. I might do another one of the lead singer.

I wanted to remember what Tony told me about my outcome being boring if all I did was make a T-Shirt with a character on it and a poster with a character on it. I am going to try and delve into a bit of storytelling and maybe make a comic for the T-shirt. I might play with some dramatic scenery as well for the final posters of the characters. It could play a little with their backstory to make it more impactful.

My name is William Jackson.
Last year, I was studying illustration and graphic design at the university of Cumbria in Carlisle, I have learned some new things in the course than just drawing/writing or painting. There is metal/wood work, printing, photography and textiles.
I have enjoyed most of the work and now, I am in my second year to do more artwork not just for the course I'll be doing some of my own artwork in the course (drawings, sculptures and comic designs).
This year is going be great.

The brief for this project was to create letterforms out of everyday items we can find. For this brief I have decided to take photos of fruit, random items and headphones. Once I had all my photographs ready it was time edit them inside of photoshop.

To turn these into real fonts I have changed the colour of all of them to black and did small edits on them like cropping and getting rid of pixelated edges. This was a very simple yet repetitive process just like taking the photographs however I enjoyed it.

The next step was to present the fonts, the brief asked to create a series of posters that show off our typefaces. I have made many posters which bring the typefaces to life and show off the potential that the font has. To make the posters look even more realistic and professional I have decided to turn them into mock up to visualise my vision.

I have enjoyed this brief especially creating posters as I had more creative freedom and more ideas for them. At times however I felt like the process was very repetitive but this is due to the amount of letters. Overall I am satisfied with the work I have produced, if I was to do this again I would explore different materials and techniques to push myself.

It won't take long for anyone to realise that I have quite a big love affair with motorsports and cars, but I promise to keep that on the down low for as long as possible!
Other things, well I have got into photography quite a lot as it runs in the family, and since I started college three years ago, I have had a big interest in digital art and graphic design.
I have always wanted to be able to live somewhere with nearby hills and mountains rather than the mighty flat land of Suffolk, so to be able to stay up in Cumbria has felt very lucky to me and has increased my creativity significantly.
If you want to see some of my more recent work, take a scroll down this page, if not, take a look through my blog work through all of our projects at uni.

Over the summer I do tend to get a bit bogged down with not doing design and creative work which would mean I don't get the most out of education when I start again in September, but I have been telling myself to work a bit harder over the summers just so I can get the most out of my skills and to keep up my creativity. So I have been giving myself different tasks and projects behind the scenes and working with some clients!
As you can probably see from most of the images above, I am mostly just using vector images and tools as that is what I really enjoyed using in college, so I know that I have got to experiment more while here at uni!
Just using the Pen Tool in Illustrator, I was able to create some really smart looking designs, mostly of cars, or history related as I tend to really get into that with projects.

Over the last couple of weeks I have been working on some digital and hand based collages outside of collages, just to keep that consistent sprinkling of design in my life. I started off with some pretty basic digital collages using images from Unsplash.com and then whacked them into Photoshop to see what I could come up with if I just sat and played around for a bit. The usual theme between them all is the sense of something that doesn't belong there, but is familiar enough for the designs to work and can be quite aesthetically pleasing to look at in a way.
​After working digitally, I then gave it a go by hand by using a war magazine to create some quite patriotic feeling designs, like the sort of things you would have expected to see during the war. The magazine was full of old images and lots of bold text so I just cut them out and stuck them together, so there wasn't much thought into the actual meanings of the designs, more just for the overall look to them.
After getting four nice designs, I scanned them into Photoshop so I could start adding some old textures and slightly adjusting the layout of the designs until I was happy enough to start placing them into some mockups as I do love using mockups in Photoshop. I started playing around with the layouts to almost turn them into some sort of a movie poster alongside the bus and what have you, I just thought they worked really well and looked quite smart.

College was the big turning point for me, as it was the moment that design changed from just something to do as an easy A-level pass to where I have decided to go for my future career. I was fairly lucky in the fact that I got an extra year on a lower level course with some amazing lecturers that showed me the basics of design and what is possible when you really tried.
So, what are these images you ask?
Each row of three are from a different project spreading through my three years at college, starting with my first Final Major Project where I created a 24 page magazine including a poster for every Formula One race that year, each being related to the venue, different driver and their team, so I ended up with a wide range of different work.
Next, was the first year of Graphic Design, and you may notice that I had a lot of fun when playing with the photocopiers, with which I made a range of posters for different phobias while letting the photocopiers do most of the work while I just messed around with the settings.
We move onto the third and final year of college where I really hit the stride with my work, having three really fun projects, from making some movie posters and screen printing them, from creating an entire deck of playing cards in the theme of the mystery of the universe through to creating a travel magazine with which I just started playing with lots of new colours and new techniques including much more detail to what I had done before.

As a last little look at my college work, these are just a range of animations that I have worked on in those three years for different projects, and most of these were done in After Effects or for a couple like the logo animation were made in Photoshop so that I could get a really smooth animated feel to them which I thought worked really well.
