Publication project

So I am working on some illustrations for a publication project at uni. I choose to look at motorbikes and then more specifically motorbike helmets as this is a long brief and it is something that I am particularly interested in.
These are the first two and I have another 6 planned to do which I will post later...

Lecture...

I had a lecture by Matt the horse today as part of my professional context section of my course, who's work is really good. He has a loose and energetic style. Here is a link to his website as I think it is definitely worth a look :) http://www.matthewthehorse.co.uk/

Illustrator

I had an Illustrator workshop on friday and have continued working on my image, this is the final outcome...

It is nowhere near perfect but I must say I am rather proud of it as I used techniques that I had not used before. 

My tutor for this project was the illustrator Ben Kirchner, who's work I find amazing! I like the detail that he puts in to his scene work and the characters that he creates. This is a link to his website which I thoroughly recommend taking a look at... http://www.benkirchner.co.uk/illustration.html  :)

Animated Veg...

This is an animation that was created as part of a group brief in my first year of uni...

Summer project...

I thought I would post some work I did for my summer project...
The brief was simple; portraits. From this I decided to look at creating images from photos I had taken of my friends over the summer. I started with images created using Illustrator, looking at my friend Joe and his dog Alfie:

I then went on to create more images of Joe, Emma, Sabine and Samir:

I then moved on to looking at painting images of these four friends and this was the result:

Starting up...

Hi, I am completely new to this but thought I would give it a go. I am Vicki and I am currently studying Graphic Communication at Bath Spa University, in my second year.
I am going to use this blog to display my work and also any inspiration I have, and hopefully it will be worth a look! I will be posting soon so keep an eye open :)
