This was another assignment, to recreate a poster in a retro style. So I borrowed Pink's face and transformed this poster into the Pop Art era.

Poster design for words of optimism.

We had to do a sneaker design here, and excessively aussie was the theme I chose. Do you see it! LOL

A group of photos (which I took) used in another assignment. The four colours CMYK.

A logo designed for a florist as one of our assignments last year. I love the leaves they look real don't they?

Lanie


I made this artwork for friends, who had their first child in November 09. Precious little Lanie Kate Hyder, was born 8 weeks premature and is much loved and thriving. I chose to cover the letters of Lanie in pretty papers, then embellished them with ribbons, bling etc and added some butterflies too. I painted the canvas in a wash of colour, and stamped Lanie's date of birth on the canvas, embossed the word Baby, and lastly used photoshop to enhance the image.
