I believe my work is unique and consider I have developed my own style over the last few years with a huge influence from one of my favourite artists Shepard fairey who has become more and more popular over these last few years releasing some amazing pieces of work and helping many good causes through different mediums.
I have try to include some different aspects of my work that show my capability in Design work, be it image manipulation via Photoshop, Typography work, Sketchbook development or rendering images from scratch, I would like to think I have my own style and my included work shows this. I consider making many drafts and showing the evolving stages of the work to be very rewarding. Being a perfectionist is something I have become and value. I take inspiration from many things for example billboards, music or real life situations. Each piece of work in this portfolio is something I have done either in college or in my own time as this subject is something I really I enjoy doing and I would now consider it as a pastime.
I enjoy travelling and being part of a Semi Pro paintball team in which involves me seeing all the corners of the world, meeting unique and interesting individuals and making life long friend. I consider my work to reflect this lifestyle. My camera is in my opinion a must when travelling. I am able to capture and re-live my experiences ready to use in an assignment or to manipulate and create new exciting images via programs such as Adobe illustrator or Photoshop. Developing my skills in design is somethign that i am hungry to do .... anyway hope you enjoy and any feeback would be a bonus ... thanks Simon
Sketchbook Ideas
Here is a page from my sketchbook for text the could be used in a image, I used clear plastic on which I drew on over a image to allow for a different and almost cartoon style to a formal picture.
