It's been a while

So i was having some problems with my blog and home life so i couldn't upload this faster but here it is, three logos for the cause and my road signs for.... CIRCLE LAND! where everything is circular.. exciting i know.


The tribal symbols - from top to bottom, an abstract one influenced by leaves, the second is a dying flower facing away from the viewer, the last being a heart (obviously)

All of them incorporate earth related colours such as the browns greens and blue, very organic colours and movement to try and convey the feeling of the cause and simplicity for easy legibility and understanding.

I used the brush tool for a more organic and natural feel because the cause is primarily based around organic and natural things... i think.. :)


Alright so those are my road signs, they are based around circles, i drew it with the brush and currently am not so sure how successful i was but i will most likely try again and post another one if i can make it better.

WEEK 2 - lizard lizard

This week we made objects from shapes (i can't remember what they are called but it was fun).
I think i mostly made animals.. im not really good at playing with shapes like this so it was interesting to see how good my animals turned out.. not. 
I found that putting the shapes together randomly usually ended with an octopus of some sort or a square/rectangle so i was forced to use what little brain power i have and this is what i came up with.








a little bird hopping around














a turtle in its shell



















a scorpian


































lochness..
































im pretty sure this was meant to be a stingray although im not too sure anymore.. :S

WEEK 1 - humpty dumpty g6 edition

So creating humpty using symbols seemed pretty boring at first but then i thought i can totally make this all metaphorical and stuff.. but it still seemed boring.
I started out making it too literally, with a guy on a wall or building and falling and getting hurt but then i was making them too confusing with trees and stock markets and the ocean so i just did the in between which happens to be a g6 jet, flying, calling for help in a storm, crashing and the survivor left out at sea.
