Dancing At Angles.

A few months ago, I was asked to pair up with a music event/night that happens every month in Norwich. I was asked to be the designer of the flyers for each night (every first friday of the month). This was very exciting for me as I have never had a chance to get together and create something (and so freely!). Each month so far I have come up with a completely different design idea for the flyers. I am also required to create the back of the flyer, this contains a quote for the month which is given to me by the promoter, address and details of the venue and a few links to pages at the bottom. Here are images of the flyers I have created so far, I'm looking forward to the coming months of flyer making, seeing what ideas I come up with and building a small portfolio.

The Twinings Teapot Gallery.

During the last term of my first university year, I have been researching into tea and tea wares. The research I have collected has been used to create a 24 page, hand bound book. I gathered information from the Twinings Teapot Gallery, which is situated inside Norwich Castle Museum. The museum itself holds the largest collection of British ceramic teapots, over 3000 pots are based inside the museum.

I created a large series of development work, experimenting with many different mediums to see which worked best for the narrative I was trying to portray. I used etchings to create the basis of my illustrations for the final book, and added areas of paint and ink to make each piece different and more interesting. 

Here are some scanned images of my development work.
