As a part of my development I went out and took photos of my pet dog in the local wooded area to help with designing the fox character.

Scamps (Others Works)

Here I have created a number of quick rough sketches of various children's books to help with research into different themes and styles that reoccur. All of the original covers and illustrations I have collected on my Similar Artefacts Pinterest board. I hand drew these in pencil and then scanned them into Photoshop to bring up the colours and make them clearer.

Aspect to Aspect

These 4 images where what I was working from to create my initial ink drawings... I 'inked' the different tones in the images as well as the different colours that stood out. I created five different ink sheets that I then scanned onto the computer and put onto photoshop. Next I changed the levels of the scans and removed the white background from each of the different inks.

After this I individually took the layers and started to add them together and changing the colours... I did this with all the layers and images, to create the finished pieces below.

Conventions of the Form

My Top Trump Card

This is my personal Top Trump card, I made it using the template but changed the details to suite me. I created the art for the card before hand but I changed the original text on the sign to something more suitable for the work. FACT: This card actually did have 56 spelling mistakes throughout it, the extra 0.37point2 is a silly reference to a pair of YouTubers.

Adobe Top Trump Cards

As an addition to my personal Top Trump Card, I also created three other cards for the Adobe Programs I use the most in Graphics - Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator. The images I used for the cards are the app/shortcut images with a darker version of the main colour used but the program. i.e.- Photoshop = Blue, InDesign = Pink, Illustrator = Orange.
