My Final Major Project at Uni

For the last ever module at uni *weeps* we were able to write our own briefs. I decided to focus mine totally around Essex. My target was to aim the work at families and promote days out in Essex. I focused on the themes of beaches, forests, leisure, picnics and walks. So after lots and lots of research and idea development, I came up with the solution of designing '5 Little Books of Essex.'

Beach Huts

This photograph has become my favourite image that I took from my Final Major Project. I took it for the beaches book and it is of the beach huts at Brightlingsea. I really love this reflection that was captured and the contrast of the deep clouds and yet the bright blue sky. This image is available to purchase. Leave me a message if your interested and want more details.  

Family Tree

So this project was all about illustrating the use of a family tree and connections without the use of names or people. I chose the subject of tea, as like a lot of British people, I LOVE tea! This was created in Photoshop with mixed media.

Bags!

Also as part of my Final Major Project, i made little gift bags for the books to come in and easily carried around with. I wanted to stay with the theme of being handmade and natural, so I stitched onto the front and backs of them. To illustrate them i used the logos of the books on one side and then the key to the book on the other side. I also made tags for them too (which aren't in this photo unfortunately). I think they are lovely and cute and would certainly appeal to families of all types! 

Colchester Exhibition

So to end the degree I had to put on an exhibition at my Uni, for all to come and my wonderful Final Major Project.
