Penguin Book Illustration- 2011

This project was a dream job one- pretending I had been asked to design the book jackets for some of my favourite books; Dracula, Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan. I used my skills in paper art to cut out scenes from the books, then scanned them with a background pattern that complemented the image and the book. The background for the Peter Pan cover was from the Hubble Telescope free image gallery.

I was trying to create covers that were different and unique and something that I'd pick up myself. I had them printed then photographed them as if they were real to see how well they did or didn't work.

Jaded Minds CD & Identity Work-2011

Jaded Minds is a fictitious band I made up for one of my portfolio projects. They're an Australian, all girl, indie, alternative rock band out of Sydney, they're so cool they don't even exist yet. 

I used my skills in paper art to create the image of the woman's head and the world inside it (on the cover) and then extended this idea for the poster, CD, t-shirts and totes. 

I also had to create a lyric book, and above is an example of one of the pages showing the lyrics for their song Le Carrousel Mystique (which is actually the lyrics from The Woods by Emmy the Great) and one of the illustrations I did for the booklet showing the band. And yes, I was a member of this band, I provided the "vibes" to the ensemble.

I wanted my cake to look like a vintage travel suitcase (I collect them) and to show places I've been and want to go to.

Photo booth madness!

every party should have a photo booth! I'm in the blue with the sash!

Guest book

This sticker was on the front of the guest book

and these were next to the book

I used an A4 sketch book so I could glue in all my cards and photos in the back!

This is the letterhead I designed as a the thank you letters to be sent to all those who came to my party, using the same rainbow geometric pattern I made for the guest book.

And these were my shoes...amazing no? :)
