my first website - zulu.com

In a recent clean up session I found a copy of the very first website I ever made. It was for a grade 10 web subject in 2001 and of course I did it about my dog Zulu (typical teenage girl).

I drew all the images and took all the photos and am particularly proud of the dog wagging his tail in the top right hand corner. There are of course some cringe features, like the awful graphic quality (the whole site had to fit on a floppy disc!), the use of frames (why???) and a super boring splash page.
check it out - but don't laugh too hard!

another project, another drawing

For a different uni project (in which I am re-branding Lipton Chai Tea), I aimed to draw in a completely different style from my norm.
Step 1 was to create a drawing of a girl lost in her "tea moment"!
The inspiration for the style came from this awesome french illustrator.
The end result is a bit of alright - even if the hands do still bug me.


The next step is to create a "ribbon of chai" using photos of chai ingredients in a collage. These will be swirling around her.

its been a while ...

I know, I know - no updates for months makes for a lame blog, but I finally have some new stuff to show.

As part of a new uni project, I am designing a handbook for the first year students in my degree. Here are some of the images I am putting into the book to make the important facts stand out.
Drew them in Indesign and filled with different paper textures.

birthday card for dad

it was recently my dad's birthday.
instead of having to buy a card then straining to come up with something to write in the card, I just got to the point and cut out the message from a piece of board.
et viola!
(somehow the word dad looks like a panda - don't know how that happened!)
