website for artist Kalvin Collins

This is portfolio website for artist Kalvin Collins. The brief was to create a nice clean site with a simple navigation. As Kalvin’s work is extremely bright I chose to focus on the mosaic element contained through out most of Kalvins work. I also wanted to keep it fun by adding bright colours and an interesting menu while still showing Kalvin’s work at it’s best.

This was my first client website which I have thoroughly enjoyed as it allowed me to put my new design and coding skills into practice and learn a lot more.

Here’s some of my mini web projects I created while on a web design course. I had great fun and learned so much, that it would be a shame if no one got to see them.

Zombie kidz

zara — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 13:03:28 +0000

These are the initial illustrations for the zombie kidz series, which are a personal project of mine. These started out as doodles, a way to pass the time on boring train journeys, but slowly their taking on a life of their own. They have become a series of hand made plush toys and paper toys. And to add to their misfortune they are named after people with unusual deaths. Life’s not fair now is it?

As time goes on I’m slowly adding to my collection of zombie characters, so keep a look out.

bone scope

These are some of the elements for the bone kaleidoscope animation, which I’m currently working on. This project started out as web based animation for the Launch lab advertising campaign. But unfortunately the project changed direction and now it’s a personal project.

The illustrations below are examples of some of the elements created for the animation, as well as some of the ‘test’ movies created in after effects.

‘Dodge this’

zara — Sun, 23 Sep 2007 20:54:20 +0000

‘Dodge this’ is an interactive music video created by Patrick Rhoden in response to concepts of interactivity between human and machine. This also focused on the ever blurring forms of the ‘real’ and a ‘hyper real’ and it’s effects. The over all aim of the project was to act as a prototype for a future project were gallery goers would be able to upload video clips via mobile phone to create more personal interactive experience.

The project brief for this was to create a storyboard for ‘Dodge this’ as both a working storyboard but also to illustrative piece. The final storyboards were designed to mimic a comic book in both it’s layout and colouring. These were later printed on both A3 transparency and matte paper and used in the final show.
