New clocopops designs
Well I’ve been a busy thing this weekend making new design pieces for my new portfolio www.clocopops.co.uk. The first image I intended to use a water effect but after looking for inspiration realised this was a bit over done and wanted to do something different. I decided upon the idea of electricity but with a 3d twist. Getting the lighting right was probably the most complicated parts of the design. I created this image using Illustrator and photoshop, using illustrators 3d tools for the line work. Here it is the new design

Design number two was based around a robot idea, I love geometry inspired design and also glitches which you notice features in every one of my designs. I tried to bring all these element together in this Illustration. Again this was built in photoshop and illustrator. More of a robotic self portrait, note to self must annoy friends to let me take pictures of them as its lightly strange cutting yourself out.
Let me know what you think to these designs
New typogrphy design in the making
Last night I gave myself two options after work. Design or film, sadly enough I chose design! as I’m trying to spruce up my portfolio. I started off just looking through a few blogs seeing what was about and what was n at the moment. I decided to see where my own imagination could take me this time and not follow tutorials on how to design this and that. I’ve tried to make something that fits the current trend and you know what i feel I’m very close with it. Still a way to go yet but so far I can see it has potential. See what you think to my typography design…
After a further hour of photoshopping this is how its starting to look, not sure if I want to add anymore I think I need to stand back from it for a while before i kill it lol.
Dirt Dirty – event poster
Another of my little experiments. I wanted to make a grunge style poster with a few modern twists, again using my favourite light tricks to enhance the image. I really need to curb this habbit but for this I don’t mind hehe. See what you think. Iv’e tried to create something slightly different but in my style.

Gardeneres World showguide design
Just received the Gardeners show guide containing my advert design. Here it is! 
Botanical Advert
This is a quarter page advert Idesigned which will be published in Junes GS magazine. I created the image using the free vectors available from www.bittbox.com, definately worth a look as it includes all sorts of fantastic freebies and tutorials to get any designer worked up. I then used illustrator to build up this botanical style illustration.

Shedalicious
I was asked to make a shed banner to go on price grabbers website. I made my own wood texture and played yet again with the lighting effects and this is my final peice.

* Just checked the Pricegrabbers website to see my banner on the site
