ILLUSTRATION

miss60

I made this as an example for a Miss Sixty ad.

Rio Flamenco

This is a logo done for the website of Rio Flamenco, a Flamenco music group

Conference flyer

I did this one for an international conference on "Sex hormones, pregnancy and rheumatic diseases". The web of "hormones" encase the womb illustrating the important chemical bond between mother and child

Student "Insurance mailer" project

A project I was invited to by YCN to do a mailer for a student insurance scheme in the UK. Simple colours and a simple message

She says invite

I did the December invite for "She Says", a UK based group promoting women designers

Birthday Party!

I did this invite for a birthday party for some friends

DJ Bownr Logotype

I did a profile for a friend, DJ Bownr in Slovenia. I made a modern and more "techno" identify for him, in particular with the "x-ray" effect on the logotype that I created out of simple squares.

DJ Bownr CD cover

This is the CD cover I did for DJ Bownr, incorporating the logotype and techno style

Candy Bouquet

experimentation with patterns of very simple shapes and colours

Candy Heaven

use of patterns in a simple graphic story. Use of only three colours: red, white and black

Lady Fashion

I came up with this idea for a "fashion brand" and this is the vector lady representing it. There are a number of different ones representing different moodes and colour schemes

Lady Fashion 3

...

Little Princess

my "feminist" interpretation of The Little Prince. Use of vectors and a simple palette of colour: blue, black and white

Collaboration project 1

part of collaboration project with designer Scott Pollard

Collaboration project 2

part of collaboration project with designer Scott Pollard

Ninocka Type

My experimentation with creating and using a logo type for "Ninocka"

GRAPHICS

Sex Sells

This is just a little personal project combining graphics elements and photography

Android Woman

I was inspired by Fritz Lang"s Metropolis and wanted to do a somewhat android woman"s face

Flamingos in Watercolours

Flamingos lingering in a dreamscape of their own...I don"t know, it was a spur-of-the-moment thing...

She Wolf

abstract art merging human and animal. The wolf is the dark side waiting to come out. Many layers and lots of blending

Absolute Magic

here I wanted to create this chilled winter feeling for a famous drink using very saturated colours. I have wrapped the bottle in flowery vector decorations. Also I have used the moon character looking down on the bottle in cool- cold amazement.

Cherub

as I saw this picture I saw something very angelic so I decided to portray him as a cherub using elements that I have photographed from churches

Coke Side of Life 1

Here I used he eye from my logo to create a bizarre version of the "traditional" coka-cola ads

Coca Cola Flowers

same as above, just a little different...I hand drew the flowers and traced them in Illustrator before playing with them in Photoshop

Dreams and Shapes

This image was inspired by Japanese woodcut art and how it was used to portray art in theatres. And dreams can be just like a theatre play using all sorts of fictional characters and elements. The humming bird is drinking the juice of our subconscious and we are completely paralysed by what is going on

Dreaming

Here I wanted to blend the girl with the background using a simple floral frame. I have used colours that stand high contrast with her dark eyes and hair.

Flyer

My fictional flyer for a dance nigh out.

Japanese Snow

Inspired by Japanese art. Some elements used here are cut out from photographs. I have also experimented with textures by scanning in different types of paper.

Night Meduza

my vision of half woman and half sea creature

Pandoras Box

my interpretation of chaos after Pandoras box has been opened. I added the makeup to the original photo and exaggarated it to give the "bleeding" effect

Retro Print: Audrey

Exploration of patterns and using them as main elements creating art of a famous icon

Retro Print: Klimt

Another graphic where I used my vector patterns, this time it was based on Klimt style

Retro Print: Pam

Another famous icon, this was the first one I did in this style

Wild Star Band

I the logo and cover design for this girl band from Guildford

Winter Haze

Weaving font and graphics

PACKAGING

Candy Box

Concept packaging for a fictional "lemon and rose petal" candy.

Chokolate Box

Concept packaging for a chocolate product. The beans speak the phrase "mmm-nja-mee" with the appropriate mouth shapes

Fragolina Juice

A concept for a "healthy fresh natural juice product"

Golden Fairy drink

My take on a magical absinth-like drink with a motive inspired by Gustav Klimt.

Sea Star Shoes

A very girly shoe box concept

CHARACTERS

Anina Bee

Anina, my own character, as a bee

Anina Floral

Anina surrounded by flowers

Anina Full of Hearts

Anina has lost her heart...will none fit?

Anina Lollipop

In the spot light with a lollipop...

Anina Tantrum

Poor anina! Her teddy is broken! Who can fix it?

Anina Siren

Anina with one of her aquatic friends
