Tree branch silhouettes over sunset colours are the back drop to white mannequins.

I have added the black and white branch silhouettes over both of these images to illustrate this theme.

Images from the Louis Vuitton Spring Summer 2012 catwalk where models posed on a pristine, all white revolving carousel.

Plain white props were also used in Chanel's Spring/ Summer 2012 underwater inspired themed catwalk, using all white coral, shell and star-fish pebbles to form the back drop of the show . models emerged from a giant cylindrical shell like structure and meandered though the underwater world . The large domed, almost bubble like glass ceiling reflect the monochrome sub-aquatic theme. Garments were pale pastels, whites and black.

Tropical leaf Vector
Print Design Feb 2012
Home and Gift

Illustrator CS3

Some print designs I've been playing with. I wanted to make a tropical leaf print surface design that could be hand screen printed for home products. I have made a a number of different designs including repeats and placement prints in a number of colour ways. I intend to screen print these designs on a heavy cotton or linen for home textiles as well as experimenting on paper and card to make artwork. I also intend to print some dress fabrics for fashion, I've been dying to make a cute flamingo print for a long time so i'll be doing that too.

A little typographic/illustration piece I have made for me and my boyfriend Aaron's anniversary. To make the type i added my text in Century Gothic to the background, selected the text and used the "create outlines" tool in the drop down menu that appears when you right click, then release compound path which covers the spaces within the letters to create an interesting typographical effect. I then enlarged key words within the text as well as changing the colours slightly. I drew half of a heart shape of the coloured heart icon, copy and pasted it, then reflected the image and joined the two half's. I then placed the heart over some of the text and changed the transparency to "lighten" so that the text behind is seen though the block colour of the heart. For the hands making a heart shape, i simply traced just one hand of an image of hands making this heart-shape (found on google image search). I then just copied, pasted and flipped the hand and placed it next to the original to complete the heart shape.
