Handmade Thank You card


I was feeling crafty, and needed to make a thank you card. Instead of just designing one and getting it printed, I thought I would try my hand at making one by hand. It's nothing too fancy, just some patterned card and paper I bought from the Papermill shop a little while ago. For being my first attempt, I am quite happy with how it turned out.

S.H.I.E.L.D Avengers Initiative Document

This was a part of my final submission in final year at university. I wanted to create a document based on the Avengers film from Marvel. I wanted the document to be designed to look like a secret agency's file, observing the six main characters, providing notes on each of their strengths, weaknesses and how suitable they are for recruitment by S.H.I.E.L.D. Each page was printed and cut, with each document's label sticking out in a cascading pattern like a filing system. Attached to each document with a paper-clip was a small, candid photograph of each character, adding to the authentic feel.
Overall, I am happy with how the project turned out, as it helped me to work with image, text, different paper types and different styles of publication. It also helped me creatively, by writing each piece 'in character' as someone observing each character and making notes on them.

Rocket Raccoon

I love the smell of napalm in the morning! The recent Guardians of the Galaxy trailer pushed me to finally finish Rocket Raccoon! I can't wait for this film and I am willing to bet that this little badass will be a household name because of it! This is the first in a series of five. I hope you like it!
