The Final Peice

This is the final pattern; another page of my Lana Del Rey 'Lyric Book' completed!

The Second Page

The second page of my lyric book that I did was a pattern. I used Adobe Illustrator to do my pattern. I hand drew all the individual shapes that make it up and scanned them in.
Here are a few work in progress screenshots.

The Final Outcome (Pen Portrait)

After all the work that I did, I finally finished it. This is my Pen Portrait of Lana Del Rey, inspired by James Gulliver Hancock. I drew the outline myself from a photograph I saw on the Internet. I coloured it on Photoshop to really make it pop. 

On The First Page

On the first page, I did a Pen Portrait inspired by the artist James Gulliver Handcock. I did my Portrait of Lana Del Rey because of the fact that I am doing her amazing song: 'Summertime Sadness'. Here are a few working-in-progress images.

The Second Step

The second step, after analysing my lyrics, was to make an Idea Board. I did two separate boards, one for the Imagery of what I want to put on each page and one for the Typing I want on each page.  

Before Begining

Before beginning any work on Photoshop, I took to the hard task of annotating the lyrics of Summertime Sadness by Lana Del Rey. All the wonderful images that came to my mind whilst reading it, I wrote down! This was hard while doing it but benefited me in the future. 

Research

Before I started my Lyric Book on Summertime Sadness, I researched some Lyric Art on Pinterest. There were loads of cool illustrations that formed the inspiration in my heart that I used to make each page of my Lyric Book. 

Final Outcome (Pic 'n' Mix)

This is my Final Outcome- Pic 'n' Mix. The colour I added myself and the letters were hand drawn. I really did try my best. There were some hurdles I had to overcome, but once I did, there was NO stopping me! 

I will defiantly be using this for my Blog Header. 

Work In Progress

  

Every Graphic Artist knows that the Final Piece comes after a lot of work. I poured hours and hours into really perfecting my Letter Sheet. I copied each individual letter into a Photoshop Document and manually added the brilliant colours. It was hard, but I got there!

My Drawings

This is what I did first. Using my inspirations on my Pinterest Board, I drew a page of mixed fonts in my Graphic Art Sketchbook. I then scanned it in, but not before I went over them in a black Fine Liner with my trusty Light Box. 

Research

As I did with my Business Card, I researched long and hard. There were many hours spent on my Pinterest account, re-pining many, many posts. I feel all this research did pay off, however, and it greatly went towards my final piece.

 

I also looked to the beautiful outdoors and nature for inspiration when doing my Letter Sheet. You may see traces of nature in some of my letters and that is why! My friend Cora, helped me look for perfect things to include in my work. 

Final Design

After all the hard work, the blood. The sweat. The tears. I finally finished my Business Card. I love it and I think it turned out great.  

Work in Progress

The Business Card didn't just come in a flash, I had to work to get it. I hand drew the buttons before scanning them in and editing them to my liking in Photoshop.

Drafting

After doing some research, with the inspirations still fresh in my mind, I began my Drafting. I did two ideas, as you can see in the image above. 

Research

Before I began making my Business Card, I went onto my Pinterest Account and did some research. I looked at lots of different types of Business Cards which inspired me when making my own.
