Typography card..

Some of my friends recently got engaged so in my spare time I wanted to design a little card for them and to play around with typography and layout. I am now waiting for it to get printed and delivered.

Macaws in love

Aztec pattern design

I created this pattern on Illustrator using my wacom tablet, giving it the hand drawn look

I then used a variety of colour swatches to fill in my design.

Todays tutorial - logo design

I altered the font to add more curves onto the ends of the letters, giving it a fluid feel

I then added extra text and warped the banner and writing

It was finished off by giving it a vintage texture

A little bit of sewing

Before I went travelling I started to do some needlework and this is how it has turned out. I have used the Cath Kidston 'Stitch' book and made these. The top one is going to be made into a cushion and the bottom one is a purse. Now I just need a sewing machine to put it all together.

First stop motion

Not the best photographs/lighting, but not bad for the first attempt! (some quality is also lost in uploading) I also used Final Cut Pro for the first time in order to put this together.
