Halloween window display

I'm a manager of a childrens shop and between all of the stores we were asked to create a halloween window. There was only one rule, it had to include a mannequin wearing a new black t-shirt and tutu. Oh, and it wasn't allowed to be gory! From the moment the competition was set, we talked endlessly about ideas and created a sketch revolving around the main tree back drop and a rabbit dressed as a witch flying across the moon. We all painted and assembled the cardboard, using the masses of boxes we get in daily deliveries to the shop, a very eco friendly window! Well done to my wonderful team for putting it all together xx

All stemming from a Planet Earth dvd, an astronomy theme quickly emerged.

Tilly and Friends Birthday card

I was asked to create two birthday cards using illustrations from the popular BBC children's programme Tilly and Friends. Using Illustrator and Photoshop i took the characters and placed them in a greeting card design, making sure i included small elements from the magazine which accompanies the show - complete with stars, small patterns and even music notes. The small detailing made a big difference to the design in the final product.


Examples i was given of Tilly and Friends to work with
and create a birthday card design:

Regret

And the only thing people regret is that they didn't live boldly enough, that they didn't invest enough heart, didn't love enough. Nothing else really counts at all.
