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.

I recently got commissioned to make a double-sided flyer for a new monthly event which will be happening in Norwich. The event is called Dancing at Angles and will be held at The Birdcage (23 Pottergate, Norwich) on the 1st August. There are three bands playing this first event,  Thieving Icons, Edenites, and Reno Dakota. 

The flyer I have designed will be going to print this week, make sure you grab yourself one to get £1 off entry on the door! 

Flyers will be handed out around Norwich in the next few weeks.

Norwich University of the Arts.

Last week was my first week starting my illustration degree at Norwich University of the Arts. We have all been in workshops for most of the week and I have found myself becoming looser with my work and coming away from what I would normally stick to. I have even found myself enjoying the use of colour a lot more! Experimental mark making is the main object for the first term/10 weeks of my time at NUA, exploring different materials, ways of making marks, ways of drawing, different drawing tools and items you wouldn't normally think to draw with. 

This weeks workshop involved creating our own unique drawing tools made of bits and bobs from around the house. We were set six different types of tools to create with our items (single line tool, multiple line tool, a tool which will scratch away a surface/layer, a blocking out tool, a smudging tool, and a brush tool), then we had to complete different drawing tasks with each tool. I will upload images of what I created and what I have done with them, explaining what they are and how they work.

This evening, I found some lovely light coming through my bedroom window, as the sun was setting over Norwich city. I decided it would be a great opportunity to get out my camera which I haven't used in quite some time. Got some rather nice images.
