Reincarnation

This is a cover illustration that I did for Shakespeare's Hamlet.   I really enjoyed working on this piece because it was a great opportunity to experiment with media - this is charcoal, conte, acrylic and photoshop.

Macbeth

Another book cover, this one is for Macbeth.

Brave New World

This is one of my most recent pieces for a collection of book covers I'm working on. This cover is for Brave New World and it was a long process to get it to this point. I've found a new love for acrylic paint and this piece is a mixture of digital and acrylic that I worked on in photoshop.

Rebranding

 This is a series of designs I did for a rebranding project. The idea behind this was to create a new identity for an already existing brand. I chose to recreate the identity by focusing on a particular audience and researching what these people would expect from their jeans. My thought process for this project included researching types of cars, jobs, activities, books and interests this target audience would have. This helped me to build an understanding of how these people would live and what would be appealing to them as consumers.

Wuthering Heights Cover

This is a piece I did based on the novel Wuthering Heights. For my thesis this year I've been focusing on dual meanings and images in my work - in this image I used animals to evoke emotion. This piece was a long process for me and I'm so happy that I've finally worked it up to a stage that I'm happy with! More thesis work on the way!!!!

Homemade Christmas Card

This is the prototype for my Christmas greeting card collection "Oyster". The card is 3-dimensional and features a pocket that you can place goodies for the recipient. I used fishing wire to attach a hook to the star so that it can hang on your tree! My thinking behind this card was to create something that would allow people to showcase their Christmas cards that wouldn't take up additional space in the house. The card is made entirely out of paper cut outs and can be customized for any occasion.

Oyster

I've been developing cards for a while now and recently decided to move beyond making cards just for family and friends. This is the beginning of my business plan, cut on paper to be assembled! The new company is called Oyster, each of the cards I make can be made into a small box and filled with whatever you desire. I'm currently working on packaging and branding for the greeting cards and I'm so excited for the final product!
