Joe and the Juice Illustrations
I spent some time down at my bar to source the imagery to create the illustrations. as I will be animating these everything has to be in separated in their own layers. All I need to illustration next is some ice cubes and the fruit that makes the juice. Once the main structure is in place the animation can be edited easily to fit any juice that we make. I could expand the project to coffee and sandwich making in the future.
Joe and the Juice - Animation Project
Recently I’ve been working on a project with a company I work for called Joe and the Juice. I approached my manager and explained the animation concept. He loved it and this will get sent to head office for evaluation. This could be included on their website or be published as a piece of graphic advertising.
My hopes are that head office is interested and may possibly invite me to go over to Copenhagen to work with their art department. I have planned a basic structure and storyboard to follow. I have completed illustrations that will be animated in after effects (Which I will post next).

9TH FEB - THE ART OF FREELANCING
aI recently went to an all day lecture I signed up for about ‘The Art Of Freelance’. The day consisted of a few lectures within different areas of freelancing. Isla Wilson was the first to share her wisdom. Isla is a business consultant and has worked closely with some of the biggest names in the business: Virgin, Volkswagen, Balfour Beatty, Enterprise, Nokia to name just a few. She shared her Top Tips for starting your own business.
1. Don’t buy into the struggling artist myth.
2. The person who runs it (Me).
3. Strategy Vs Operational.
4. Make friends with Tech.
5.
Elaine Simons was the next speaker she shared some really interesting thoughts about Effective networking for creative opportunities. She mentioned the 3 Pillars: Meet, Like, Trust. I made a few notes of some interesting thoughts she mentioned.
1. Wear your badge on the right-hand side. Apparently this allows whoever your meeting to remember your name. As you put your right hand out to greet someone your eyes will naturally glance upwards. Another way to be remembered and to remember people is to repeat your name when you greet like James Bond does. Anthony, Anthony Sutton.
2. Opening questions. Who,What,Why,Where,How?
Elaine mentioned how isolated we are these days. We are to involve in our phones and the internet instead of being human beings and actually meeting and talking to people. I totally agree and have noticed this within myself and others. This is something I need to address.
3. Go with a friend. Going with a friend can have it’s Advantages and Disadvantages. You have the comfort of having someone you know to talk to but you can become defensive and end up only talking to them
- Go early so that people are coming to you first
- If you’re talking to your friend open your body up to allow for others to enter the conversation.
- Single out people that are on their own.
- If you make a commitment to someone for example; you arranged to meet them for coffee or a phone call. Make a note of the time and place you said and stick to it.
- Dress appropriately. First impressions count.
- Business cards, make them interesting be creative with them. Don’t just have your logo and details make it rememberable.
- Get to know people, make them comfortable break the ice
- Meet them at their premises ‘Givers Game’.
- Research who’s coming.
- Smile & eye contact.

Satans Hollow - ‘’Welcome to Hell’.
Satans Hollow - Vintage Movie poster Inspiration
I stumbled across these old vintage movie posters when looking up typography. I figured the illustration and typography would be fitting for Satans. It delivers the weird, quirky sense of humor that reflects the audience of Satans Hollow. These could be banners or a way of producing advertisements.
Satans Hollow - Facebook Banner 1
Recently I’ve been exploring my illustration interest. I combined the Satan head I made and developed it into an illustrative banner option. I referenced the Satan that is iconically featured in the nightclub.
I want to continue to come up with more illustrative banner options and also try some typography based ones. I will also be creating flyer examples for nights they could possibly put on, just to show how the style can continue to other mediums.
APRIL 1ST - SATANS HOLLOW FACEBOOK BANNER IDEAS
I’m moving the project forward now looking at their social media sites which are their main marketing platforms. I have been coming up with some quick ideas for banners.
I’ve stayed consistent with the colour keeping into to a dark and light red. I have recently been inspired by the works of Iain Burke. He uses two colours and bold rough lines to create his dark illustrations. I think his style is the direction I want to head in for satans hollow.
I’ve kept a basic typographic templated using Garamond, because it has a aged, gothic vibe. This allows the viewer to know the name of the club and where it is. The space around it will be for illustrations.
I have noticed a favortied use of collage/photo manipluation within their current Facebook posts. This approach results in some quirky and humerous pieces which I also think would be a interesting direction to explore.
17th of March - Sal's Takeaway
Sal's Takeaway night was a success, great turn out the place looked amazing and I got the chance to share my portofilo and my business card.
I’ve recently been using after effects and teaching myself how to animate. I took the opportunity to do something with the Sal’s Takeaway logo created for our networking night. I recently posted a video of my logo where I learnt how to use masks to create that drawn on effect. I applied the same method but utilised the CMYK colours scheme we decided on. I overlaid the colours and staggered the layers to create this effect. I am really happy with it because I was able to produce what I imagined it to be like. I am really enjoying turning my graphic work into a piece of motion design.
My first bit of motion 🎥😊 really excited to learn more! #motion #graphicdesign #mylogo #logo
1st OF MARCH - AFTER EFFECTS.
I attended a workshop on after effects today with Sian. I learnt how to do some simple animation techniques. I got the hang of keyframes, rotation and position. It’s not perfect but It’s my first piece of motion I’ve created. I really enjoyed it, I want to continue to improve my motion knowledge and skills!
26th Of FEB - NMP PRESENTATION
I attended my first presentation on Friday to show what I’ve been up to. I showed my branding design for Satan’s Hollow and I also explained my Survival and Design project. I got some positive feedback on my branding I just need to try and expand on the brand and make it more interesting and creative. Joanne suggested to right up a metal head persona, so that I can draw from their characteristics and add it to the brand. I also want to experiment with animating the logo. As for my Survival & Design project I don’t think I explained it the way I wanted to. This project was inspired by the Football example Joanne showed us. It’s an experimental project around the survival subject.
SURVIVAL & DESIGN - NATIONAL TRUST STICKER
My girlfriend is a member of the National Trust, and as a member you receive this sticker to stick on your car to allow for free parking. I will be visiting as many as I can to take photos and experiment with the environment.
