Hydro-Seventy-Four

Whilst researching creative design agencies for a brief, i came across Hydro74.

His work is incredible, working for companies such as Nike, Maxim, Mattel, Kink and Osiris, as well as numerous bands, he has established himself as a reputable and sought after designer.

Will be following his work closely, massive inspiration as his talent on Photoshop/Illustrator is epic

After experimenting with different scans, tools and colour schemes I decided this was the final piece. Really chuffed with the turn out. Now to put it into In-Design to get the layout etc just right.

Ive decided to do a 60's horror-film poster based piece for a new brief. So to get in the mood i did some practicing with a picture of Vikki Blows. In the style of a true 60's horror poster, it has a nice and cheesy tag line.

Should be a good starting block to the project.

Given a guide on making the word 'Vector' in illustrator, we were then asked to use all the knowledge we had gained to put a personal touch to the piece.
This is my final outcome, after a small bit of tweaking on photoshop to add some of the grey rugged texture.

This is a piece i created when playing around with combining Abobe Photoshop and Illustrator. Came out really bad when printing but ive still got a LOT to learn on that side of things.

Thought i'd knock up a little graffiti influenced name badge for the blogger profile. Love the colour scheme used along with the BlaxSlab XXL typeface (becoming a favourite).

This is a poster i quickly produced for Tokyo nightclub to promote a drink offer.
Nothing special as i had to work from someone elses initial design which wasnt great but still. Cool to see your work up while ur on a night out.

My final piece for the object typography brief. After looking into plastic cup graffiti, i decided this was a path i wanted to take a peek into a bit further. Using wasted cups i headed to the local skatepark (a graff haven) and continued the 'waste' theme from the egg shell piece. The cups managed to fit better than expected in the grid of the fence leaving me with a top notch final piece.

My (almost) final piece for Typography - Object Typography.
After looking into different type faces I settled for BlaxSlab XXL
Using this along with the egg shells left over from a standard sunday morning fry up i created the above.

Photoshop, brief surrounding work to advertise a modern and funky hair salon.

I'll start my blog with some of my old course and college work.
getting used to using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, nothing personal...just following some strict briefs.
