V&A Student Illustration Awards 2012 Entry

I've submitted some of my work to the V&A Student Illustration Awards, which you can see on the V&A site here.

The images (which I'll post below because a blog post just isn't a blog post without images) are from my current project, but the ones I selected are more related to my research than the actual storyline of the Master and Margarita novel, because everything is in storyboards and up in the air at the moment.

This is my current design for the Penguin Design Award for Gabriel García Márquez's novel One Hundred Years of Solitude. I picked up on the idea of the Golden Fish as a motif in the story. The background is done in watercolour, taking inspiration from portugese painted tiles.

These two images are some experimentation with media/style from my sketchbook:

























































These are some selected images that I ended up using in my final book:
