drawings of football club and uefa logos

                                  


Here are a series of different drawings of football club logos and the UEFA champions league logo from around europa from different countries, that have all played apart in a number of different UEFA champions league seasons and all these clubs have at least been in one European cup final, even before it became the Champions League. The basic idea is to create a series of playing cards for the game snap, where you would have a series of two different card combinations, which would match each other, so I choose to use football clubs.     




                                       









 
With the drawings I tried to draw the club badges with accuracy so they would be similar to the original badges and I also tried to draw them, where the lettering on the badges are similar to the one's in my drawings. I like the drawings because I believe the badges look similar in different ways to the original badges and I believe a lot of the sections on the badges are clear, but next time I need to draw the rounded badges more in a circle shape because some of sections of the outlines don't go round like a circle.

The language of flowers book covers


Here are three different book cover designs I made on Photoshop, based around the book the language of flowers, where I used my drawing and written styles I did before, I put them on all three book cover designs. With the colours I tried to make all the colours match each other so every think would fit in well together, where I used the colour filter on Photoshop to add colour to the designs. I also tried to layer out the book covers just like they where a real book cover designs, I positioned every think on the book covers to make every think clear on the designs. 

With the book covers I tried to create three different book covers based around the theme of flowers and where I used different ranges of colours on each design.

 I like the designs because I believe my drawings of flowers works well on all three designs because I believe they all work well together and make the covers interesting and I believe the colours used on Photoshop make the covers even more interesting, where I believe they all go well with the background colours, but next time I feel I need to maybe make some of drawings smaller so they don't overlap some of the written on the covers and maybe not to have two similar background covers for two of the designs.

coloured flowers in the real world



These are two images I created using my coloured flower images and two different images from the internet, which using photoshop and the alt key to multiply the flower in one of the images, I have made my flowers apart of the two images, which I now believe the flowers are the main focus point in both images.

 With this idea I wanted to test out more design ideas which I could use for my book cover, by getting images of the real world and placing my flowers within the images to see how it would turn out.

 I like the two images because of the way how they both look completely strange, where my flowers don,t look real at all and look like cartooned based drawings, which I find quiet funny, but next time I feel I need to use different sized versions of my flowers in both images.       

coloured flower drawings layouts







Here are my coloured flower drawings, where I have tried different ways of laying out my flower drawings on photoshop in preparation for my book covers idea of using flowers, where I wanted to test out different ideas of laying out my drawings to see if I could take this onto one of the book covers. With the images I tried laying out the flowers in different positions and designs on a page and I tried using my flower drawings to make a larger overall shape, like a triangle and circle shape. With the images I tried to make them in the same basic design on the image so the flowers would repeat the patten, but facing in a different direction and in a smaller size. I like the work because the flowers I believe have made good shapes and pattens, but I feel I should of place some of the flowers better in some of the images.   

coloured flower drawings





Here are a series of different coloured flowers I have created using the colour filter on Photoshop to add   different colour combinations to my flower drawings, where I scanned in one of my flower drawings onto Photoshop and using the alt button on the keyboard I was able to multiply that single drawing into a series of the same drawing, where I than added two different colour combinations to each one, where for the first series I used mostly lighter toned versions of different colours and for the second series I used a mixture of lighter and darker colour tones. With the coloured flowers I used different combinations to test out different colour design. I like the colours used because I believe most of the colour combinations work well, but there are some, which I believe would need to be changed next time.

Original flower drawing


This is the first flower drawing I did, where I copied the shape of the flower from a bag I saw with the flowers shape on it. With the drawing I drew the flowers in pencil and black pen so the different types of drawings would give the work different tones, where I also tried to draw as many of these flowers as I could on the A4 sheet, I also tried to draw the original shape of the flowers with accuracy. I like the drawing because I believe the flowers have been spread out well across the page and I believe the flowers go well together with the different tones, but I feel I should of maybe of had the flowers overlapping each other more.

Written styles












This is a series of different styles of written I wanted to create, where I wrote different things related to the book cover work I was doing based around a book the language of flowers. With the written styles I used my normal written style, bubble written and highlighting over the letters written to make them more bold.
