Bacardi YCN

My entry for YCN competition 2010. 
Bacardi brief. 
Idea of using burlesque and gambling as a way of flirting to customers, and having Bacardi sponsor a Burlesque and Casino type event. Target audience was men 18-24.





Beer Mats




These are mocks of what the backdrop would look like in the event that Bacardi were sponsoring.

GaGa


IM. A. FREE. BITCH
I went to see Lady GaGa a few weeks ago in London with my very best friends Andrew and Kim. No words can describe how good it was.

THEY ARE THE KINGS, THEY ARE THE QUEENS, THEY WRITE THE HISTORY OF THE KINGDOM, AND I AM SOMETHING OF A DEVOTED JESTER, IT IS IN THE THEORY OF PERCEPTION THAT WE HAVE ESTABLISHED OUR BOND, OR THE LIE, I SHOULD SAY, FOR WHICH WE KILL. WE ARE NOTHING WITHOUT OUR IMAGE, WITHOUT OUR PROJECTION, WITHOUT THE SPIRITUAL HOLOGRAM OF WHO WE PERCEIVE OURSELVES TO BE, OR RATHER TO BECOME IN THE FUTURE, WHEN YOU ARE LONELY ILL BE LONELY TOO, AND THIS IS THE FAME, LOVE AND ART, 12 18 19 74, LADY GAGA.

07/02/2010

Haven't posted properly for ages! Uni has been busy and I've been a bit lost! 
I did a studio photoshoot with my beautiful friend Eliza Delite for my YCN brief. Last time I used a studio properly was at college, think I might book myself in again so that I can get some practice while the facility is here at uni to practice with! It was a really fun shoot.
I'm going to be doing illustrations from the photoshoot, but for now heres a little taster of the shoot.

Playing in CAD lessons.

26/01/2010

Started my Book Making elective!
First weeks task was to adapt an book we got given. The theme is Emotive/Motion/E.
Ive chosen to look at motion and motion of waves and patterns and how the moon controls the waves. Heres my adapted book. 
(I also made another one, photos to come soon after once I've taken some good ones, but heres the final one) 

Then in lesson we were taught how to make a hardback japanese bound book. 
Heres the outcome!
It feels so good to actually make something useful! I want to make my own sketchbooks now!
