Dan Mumford
One of my biggest Influences in what I want to acheive today has been the work and Illustrtions of dan Mumford, as u can tell Im also hugely influenced by Music and anything from band artwork to Music videos, and he has designed many illustrations whether it be album artwork to T-shirt Merchandise, He has worked with some of my Favorite bands including Protest The Hero, A Day To Remember,Gallows,Set Your Goals,The Black Dahlia Murder and so the list is endless.I also purchased one of the Black Dahlia Murder t-shirts he designed at one of there shows. Aside from band artwork he was also did some work For the ford fiesta campaign and has done some illustations for Digital Arts Magazines.
Reasons why I like his work his I love the dark atmosphere he creats within his images and I love the use of colours he uses and love the amount of detail he goes into in his illustartions and I like the way he just keep up coming with amazing ideas and the way he varys his designs and his wild imagination and the charaters he designs in his work and the emotion he shows in them, and yeh im just a massive fan of his work.
So yeh I can take influence from much of his work as I am very keen in going onto doing something similar whether that be designing band artwork, though I am also keen on designing charctets/environments for video games/films and so on so I can take huge influence from his work and can take it onto projects such as recently I had to design a Character, inwhich I took influence of from his work in designing a kinda of dark and creepy charcter and I used kind of interesting colour scheme such as greens and purples. So yeh I'd reccomend his work to everyone its brilliant and would love to achieve his standard of work.so yeh check out his work at

Chesterfield College - Text Experimrent
Some more experimenting I did, this was part of the project where I had to design a Movie Titles and for this I was experimenting with text, To create this what I did was I got some thick paint and just writ Scream on some tiles outside and then I took a picture and played around the image on Photoshop using Red effects to represent blood and yeh was pleased with the result. However I was made to clean up the mess :(
Chesterfield College Project Experiment
Just some experimenting I did as part of a project which I quited liked,I'm a big fan off kind of gothic/horror sculptures and models and have collected alot which I have at home so yeh just took a picture of it and just played around with the image in Photoshop and really like this effect, also what I did was I took some images of kind of textures such as Rusty Buildings,Fencing and so and played around with effects on Photoshop,so yeh this was used as a experiment during the development of my major project
Chesterfield College - Anti Fur Poster
Here is a poster I had to design for Anti Fur, for this project I decided to just do a simple poster and It was quite useful as My dog was still a puppy therefor I just took as many pictures trying to get him in a really sad pose and yeh I finally got one I was really happy with so just uploaded it and played with the arrangement and just added the the slogan and logo. This project was part of a competition the college wanted us to enter however for some reason the college did not go through submitting the work
Chesterfield College - Book Design
Here is Some work I had to do on my previous Course, For This Project I had to Redesign a Childrens Book from The Logo to image and for this I choose Grizzly Tales, as I was a big fan of Both The books and The TV programme. How I acheived My result was I took a close up image of a plant, as the book was called Freaks Of Nature, then put it on photoshop and edited it then printed it out, I then drew over it in Marker Pen to kinda give it more of a cartoon image, then I cut out Two holes for the eyes, and designed two eyes which I placed under and scanned it in and that was the image completed. The Title was designed from using Inks and getting really messy, once I was happy with 1 I waited for it to dry and scanned it in and drew over it in Illustrator, there was also a design with the title Freaks Of Nature on but that file seems to have got lost aswell as a design for the back cover but I have them in my portfolio folder.
