DAmn photobucket takes SO long xD
 

Ok; i said i would; this is a piece i did today (ok, yesterday) Its part of a larger project that i'll be posting up here anyway so i wont go into any details....


its Quink Ink with masking fluid and bleack on standard cartridge paper; teh splatters are made using a diffuser... original size; A3 (sorry not sure what dimensions that is for you yanks... ), scanned at 400dpi... colour corrections, cropping and tagged in photoshop :)

hope you like it - ths project is due in in a week; so will post it up then :)


oh; it would be really useful if you could maybe try to interpret the image - in anyway that it strikes you.... is useful for my research; thanks ;)

OMG I just love the last one O_O Amzing!

ok so i seem to have lost the files for what i *was* going to post; so I'll Post this instead...

this is work from last term; Book jacket design; I chose to do Haruki Murakami's The Wind Up Bird Chronicle
I chose to do the Cover in Japanese foramt, the text is directly translated, so i know it probably doesnt make sence, but this was an exercise in design and layout more than anthing, so i'm not so bothered :p

the front Cover:


the actual image...
(larger copy here)

with the cover i wanted to illustrate some of the main factors withing the novel; the wind up bird itsself is always hidden; never seen so as an analouge for this i used the statue in the abondoned house's garden; another is the main character (Toru Okada)'s affinity with going down the well in said abandoned house's garden... i tried to bring the two images together. the fact the grass line makes a cross ist intended and not supposed to be symbolic of anything...

hope that makes the image a lil more clear...

we also had to produce two inside Illustrations, but as teh novel is split into three 'books' i did three:


I chose to use the cat, Noboru Wataya (later renamed Marcrel) to illustrate the different sections of the book; the first with the cat leaving, symbolising Toru's fall into the obscure, the second with the cat walking, symbolising Toru's search and the Last, with the cat returning, symbolising the conclusion to the many stories and threads within the book.

hope ya like 'em
if anyones read the book - please do comment to tell me what you think of my interpretation :)

oh yea; the Cover illustration was done entirely in photoshop over about 5 days; the cat illustrations in pen and ink on cratridge paper; about 30mins to each pic
the cat walking away is my fave ^^

*mouth falls on key board* wow...........those are good. Really good.
