I just found out I got triple distinctions so I'm really happy about that. I thought it would be a good route to go down as I have always been good at tradtional art and already have skills in graphic and web design, 2D and 3D animation, and motion graphics and want to learn stuff like app design.<br /><br />I hope you don't mind I took a little peek at your website and through some of your impressive portfolio. It's well designed and is nice and clean and consistent! I hope to one day be as accomplished as you are. Have you any advice for someone like me who's just starting out?catherinewatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06387822595627862884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9183918162057970013.post-9912025256066023122011-07-15T09:29:06.236+02:002011-07-15T09:29:06.236+02:00Hi Catherine,
Thanks for getting in touch and expl...Hi Catherine,<br />Thanks for getting in touch and explaining a bit about your design, I hope you don't mind my reinterpretation! Each designer has their own way of approaching a brief and this was mine, I'm sure if you gave it to another designer a totally different cover would appear. Good luck with your first year at Northumbria, Are you studying design? I hope you enjoy it!Damian O'Harahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06672251268854240050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9183918162057970013.post-83824787016683253772011-07-13T15:21:37.853+02:002011-07-13T15:21:37.853+02:00Its really interesting to see someone else's i...Its really interesting to see someone else's interpretation of the design which I created it's different to anything i would have thought of. <br />I'm just starting out in the design industry, my name is Catherine Watt, Stephen was one of my lecturers at college and asked me to design the cover for his latest book. <br />I will be starting my first year at Northumbria university in September of this year.<br />I used different elements of the existing architecture like the stone wall, vitruvian scroll design and the pillars to create the holding area for the author and title, I also tried to imitate the style of the engraved latin writing, in the text. I wanted it to look as authentic as possible. It took a lot of work getting the scroll detail to flow seemlessly and getting colours and shading right as I was working from different image sources. <br /><br />email: catherinewatt.92@gmail.comcatherinewatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06387822595627862884noreply@blogger.com
