A to Z Project - Grotesque - collage and post card design

   A to Z project, we asked to chose a word from each 26 alphabets. Research into each of our chosen 26 words and try to unravel and get to grips with the meaning and potential of our words. Output a substantial body of work utilizing a range of prototyping methods - sketches, test prints, 3D models, etc. 

   I've chosen Grotesque for the alphabet "G". The definition of Grotesque from the dictionary, it says: strange and unpleasant, especially in a silly or slightly frightening way. In my way of grotesque doesn't have to be so unpleasant. There are a lot of interesting literature work about grotesque character like, Alice of the wonderland, Hunchback of Notre Dame and Beauty and the Beast etc. My final grotesque art work chose A Midsummer Night's Dream as the background and create a series of Fairies and the queen of the Fairies - Titania. The format is a post card design for people to collect the Fairy that they like.

Brighton - A colourful and bright city and a wonderful holiday place for gray Londoner.

  Brighton is a very lovely and artistic city next to the ocean which located at East Sussex (South East of England). "There is a lot to see and do in this city of smuggler's lanes, Bohemian hang-outs, shops, museums, cafes and elegant squares. Time on the beach could easily make a visit las a full day" written in the book of Back Roads Great Britain (Eyewitness Travel).

On the way to Brighton.

The Brighton Pier.

I called it "1/2, 1/2 picture".

I named it "Brighton Eye". :)

Kristjana Williams - From Beyond the Valley

Recently, I really love the new fashion pattern design from the Beyond the Valley which designed by Kristjana Williams. The illustration presents the natural creatures to become a high class style. It successfully and gorgeously combine birds and butterflies together. I believe it is a new icon pattern for fashion and illustration industry.
