Fuchsia Macaree's Business Scratch Cards

Illustration post-grad student Fuchsia Macaree recently posted this image of her new business cards on her Tumblr. I can't help but love the scratch card element on the front and her innovative use of including her contact information as competition small-print on the back. Another great thing about the design is that Macaree has used the colour fuchsia in order to permanently lodge her name into your brain, a great excuse to use a bright eye popping pink if ever there was one. 

She also has a series of super A+ travel photo diaries, the Japanese version of which is here.

I thought maybe it'd be good to put up my FMP work, whilst I'm not completely happy with the final outcome (I was a tad bit lazy in the middle of final major project) it'll be interesting to see how my style changes and progresses over the next few years. 

I worked on a comic strip initially around the idea of an eccentric older lady, eventually settling on depicting the story of Ann Timson, 'Super Gran'. For the most part I struggled with what I was doing which resulted in me producing something that wasn't as good as I feel it could have been however I am pretty pleased with how it turned out given this confusion. 

Working with collage was something that was enjoyable for me. In particular the challenge of making it look unlike other collage works that're popular at the moment.
