research into type faces


I did this exercise to find suitable type faces for different subjects and themes, such as my pop up book where i found type faces that included stars and big bold letters so that it matched my theme better!

Artist copy i did based on my topic of fireworks.


This is an artist copy i did of a hot dog, i liked the use of bright colours and the text the artist has used in this cartoon image, i have been inspired by this in my final book.

Photoshop repeat pattern

This is a pattern i made on photoshop that i had previously drawn by hand and then scanned onto photoshop, i used lots of small images to do with my pop up book and put them all together in one layer to create this image, i then changed the colour using the hue and saturation to make it more eyecatching. i will go on to using this for the inside cover of my pop up book.

pictures of subject matter.


These are some pictures i collected to do with my subject matter, i collected them because i feel that i was able to use them to help give me ideas for pop ups i would use in my final pop up book and background idea's. They were very useful when i did  my elements sheets.

proposal and feedback.


Fireworks book. Proposal and feedback.
For my gcse graphic design pop up book i wanted to base my book on the topic of fireworks. i thought this was a fantastic ide because of the use of bright colours, designs and types of fireworks there are. This gives me the chance to do a lot of different things in my book, which also shows i can be creative and constructive.
The rest of the class also thought this was a fantastic idea because of the points i have already made and also a unique idea as no one else had thought of it.

Pop up book proposal!

Collograph :)

This is the collograph print i did using a piece of cardboard that i stuck lots of small objects too and foil, i then covered it with blue and green ink and put it on some paper in the press to create this print.

rocket scan number 2 :)

I did this print using a paper cut out of a rocket and stars using a blow tool, i sprayed the ink on in the colour black and then scanned it on to photoshop, changed the colour to grey and purple using the gradient tool and then changed the background to yellow and green becaue they are contracsting colours and make the print more eyecatching.

rocket print

i used the same stencil here to create another print but this time i used white ink on black paper so that it contrasted well 

mc donalds print

this is a print i did using a foam stencil, i didnt like the finished product so i experimented with it on facebook to make it look more interesting.

Graphics print.

This was a print i made, i used a similar type of cartoon as the type i would like to use in my final book, i also liked the bright colours because it made the piece bright and eyecatching.

Print trials

This is a print i made using a piece of lino and a lino tool, i also used a variety of coloured inks such as green, yellow and red. i first printed it without a paterned background and then started cutting into it and printing it again to make the print seem more interesting.
