Koala

Found a tutorial on creating a vector Koala head, so I thought I would give it a go. I've actually learnt how to use Transparency & Opacity masks on Illustrator. Overall, i'm happy with it. I then took it into Photoshop & added a few textures for a fun twist.

日本は回復している - JAPAN IS RECOVERING

A quick poster I made. Didn't intend for it to be about Japan initially but it turned more into a texture session. I've only just discovered textures, and I'm really enjoying using them; they give me loads of freedom in designing backgrounds / foregrounds and more obvious details to give a sense of purpose.


On another note, not a lot has been said about Japan, or the state the country is in since the nuclear crisis last year. I hope the country is recovering and getting better. I would like to hear more about how it is doing though. To me, this is a more important issue than, say, who is in the auditions of 'The X Factor' or along those lines. I hope Japan is getting on ok and getting all the support it needs.

OK

OK, I should really do some work now...


This is a yellow circle

Saw a 'Keep Calm' poster and thought I'd take the mick out of the so obvious style in which they are made, whilst implementing the simple design of each. So I made this quickly. The yellow circle has no significance, only to state the obvious like any 'Keep Calm' poster.



You can tell you're a designer when you can appreciate and breakdown another piece of design, and make it your own.

Please Don't Interrupt Me Whilst I'm Ignoring You

Saw this message on google, made me chuckle, made a poster for it quickly. I think it works.
