EXTENDED - PORTFOLIO BUILDING - POSTER DESIGN/ ILLUSTRATIONS

Due to showing examples of my work to world though social media, I was approached by a young designer wanting me to produce a series of illustrations that would hold the likeness of a range of musicians performing at an exhibition in Manchester.  These illustrations would be used on posters illustrating the featured artists and they would be released on the days leading up to the event.





I decided that this would be a fantastic oppurtunity to produce work that would be suitable for portfolio. And as there were 7 performers to produce illustrations for, the chance that some of these pieces could be placed alongside some of my best work was high. Also this brief was well suited to one of my strengths, that being character design.










I decided to use just two colours and bold qualities of line and shape so that when it came to digitally altering the designs the colours would be easily selectable and traced digitally.
