Epic Anthems Cover

2009

Synopsis

I had this idea for an album cover: displaying an illuminated speaker in neons (similar to a flux capacitor like in the film back to the future), and use this as an image to convey a retrospective dance album cover. Title choice is irrelevant here as it just has to indicate a valuable collection over a period of time.

Disco Fever Cover

2009

Synopsis

I've designed a disco album before: 'best disco in town' for universal music. It featured a 'saturday night fever'-esque dance floor with a dark background. Here I've come up with a more brash design with lush 3D objects and vibrant colours.

Make your own kind of music

2009

Synopsis

Just a quick test for a kooky typographical title. Featuring the title lyric from a song by The Mamas and the Papas. Every time I hear it now I think of Lost.

Evil Monkey Skateboard

2009

Synopsis

I've wanted to design for a skateboard since my first one in the late 80s. It had this really cool illustration of a zombie head with the brain sliced off and loads of mini zombies inside. Recently I had been sketching random ideas for illustrations; when I doodled this I thought it would look ace on a board. Here it is, and also featured on a skateboard 3D model I created.

Serial Killer Munny

2009

Synopsis

In preparation to learn character animation I took it upon myself to create a vinyl doll figure in 3D. As they have a cuteness about them I decided to contrast mine by making it a deviant.

Et Tu Brute?

2009

Synopsis

Inspired by renaissance still life paintings and by Shakespeare's Julius Caesar I created my own modern still life utilising various 3D objects I had created. Due to the dramatic context of the scene I have created the message as a blood texture, as well as handprints and spatter patterns.
