Some little sketches...

So lately I've been doing a load of doodles of albatrosses which I want to soon edit in photoshop.

This was based Chris Jordan's (the producer) idea that the albatrosses are sending a message to us about the state of the planet. I want to work with this idea a little further. 

I read somewhere that they cut open a dead albatross to find a hand cream tub inside still filled with the cream. This gave me the idea for this image. The albatross was supposed to be like a hand lotion bottle, and instead of cream coming out of the albatross it is plastic. I'm not sure if this image is that clear though. 

Inspired by photos of the albatrosses and their young on the Midway Atoll. Once this is scanned into photoshop I want to photograph plastic and add it in around the image. 

Self Promotion

Lately I've been focusing mainly on our self promotion brief which is running along side our FMP.

I worked on it a bit while I was at home, but saw Jonny about it yesterday morning to get his opinion on it before continuing (as I missed the WIP earlier this week).

He seemed reasonably pleased with what I had done so far, and said to maybe change the layout slightly. We also discussed what was going to go on the envelope, but then agreed that I would write the address on the front page of my self promotion book, and use a sticker to hold it together.

My self promotion book was using the felt font and food from my previous frog project. I decided to only use food in the book so that it felt that there was a theme.

Here is what I ended up with.

These will be on their way in the post tomorrow.
