Project #3 Mark Everyday

In December I was thinking about the New Year and goals to set for myself. One thing I really wanted to do was create a piece of work everyday, these pieces could be a drawing, photo, digital art, or whatever came to mind. The idea is to make something everyday as a kind of creative warmup, however small or large. The work in no way would be final but maybe spark an idea for a future project. I know it's not an original idea to do a drawing or photo a day project, but I think it is greatly rewarding to anyone who decides to do it. My idea is to post the work weekly as a running sketchbook. So onto project #3. . .

Project #2

This latest project came about when a good friend asked for my help with a baby shower invite. She wanted an invite that would celebrate her friend becoming a 'mommy-in-heels.' Inspired by the work of Leslie Graff I thought it would be a great oppertunity to try something new and do some painting. I worked digitally and used the new brushes in CS5. These allow colours to be mixed like real paint and there are options to customise the way the brushes work for individual preference. There are some great videos on Adobe TV if you would like to learn more.

Project #1

Today I am starting a series of 'Project' posts. These will be personal projects (lasting about a month) where I take a design brief, develop it, and at the end post the finished piece and sketches/ideas from the project.
