1Abstract Print A3 PosterTo develop this promotional poster, I combined primary colours to create an array of candy colours and to create the optical illusions, I used only straight lines. To further the visual effects, I used Photoshop to generate movement throughout the work.

2Information Graphics This piece of work represents the level of tide that passes through the London Thames Barrier and was used by its engineers throughout the year 2011. Each month is represented by a different colour, the lower gradient of each colour to signify when a lower tide was passing through the barrier that month, and a higher gradient to signify a higher level of tide.

3Abstract Print A6 Cards This nonfigurative piece was created as an experiment using milk and food colouring. I then photographed the outcome, and exported the images into Photoshop. After merging these, this was the result.

4This is a screen printed poster that was created for a Wim Crowel exhibition. Firstly, I generated the ideas on Photoshop, and then exposed my artwork onto silk screens to which were then screen printed. As you can see in the outcome it’s not one solid colour in each screen, which I experimented in merging colours on the screen bed before printing it.

5This CD case is a promotional piece for Leng Clothing’s custom mix tape. I developed the piece in Illustrator and Photoshop, and although the inside work is closely linked to the previous abstract posters, I wanted to keep the case cleaner and more stylish using simpler abstract techniques.
