Childrenswear Design...

The second week is Babywear, which is my absolute favourite area. The brief was seahorse's …so cute!

I wanted to practise my character development for this... I always struggle between photoshop and illustrator, my natural instinct is to go with illustrator, but I really like the more painterly style you can get with photoshop. The image below was done in photoshop, it's not finished…just experimenting!

New adventure...

A lot has happened in the last few months… I left my full time job as a greeting card designer to pursue my dream of building a freelance business. It has definitely had it's up's and downs, but in general it has been a positive experience so far...

I am doing the Lilla Rogers MATS course this month and am enjoying the different design projects she set's each week. 

The first week was Christmas greeting cards and the brief was Toy Trains, the card was to be portrait...which is kind of tricky with a horizontal object
