Sketchbooks

This project was one of my favourites at college in my second year, it was all about my ‘pet lobster’ running away to travel around the world. And I put posters up and made appeals for him to come back and people from all over the world send me letters and emails saying they had seen him! My final pieces were 3 a3 posters made in photoshop. I really enjoyed this project because I got loads of people involved and I had a good laugh doing it. 

 I went to Amsterdam in November last year and this was just the book I put together while I was there, I wanted to show this because this is one of the many scrapbooks that I have made when I’m going different places, I take a lot of photographs, keep all my tickets and leaflets and create a journey so I have something to always remember! I have kept a diary since I was 12 and It's nice to look back on what was I was doing!

This is just a sketchbook I was doing at college; it was full of artists that inspired me at the time and a bit of typography in it too. This is to just show the style I work in, I use a lot of materials and build up layers so my pages are so thick it the book doesn’t close anymore! I experimented with lots of different media and I use a lot of masking tape and watercolour in my sketchbooks.

This is the sketchbook for my book arts project, its full of planning and experimenting with printing and fabrics. I made a 3d book from fabric which was hand sewed and this shows the method and thought process from the initial idea up to the finished piece. It’s not the most beautiful but it’s very constructive and shows my working steps. I really enjoyed this project because I tried something completely new and really put my heart into it and I was really proud of the final piece.
