Red Arrows Show
An amazing air display from the Red Arrows at RAF Leeming. It was hard to take your eyes off this breathtaking display of graceful near misses, dips and dives. All photos I took and edited my self.

Snapshot Illustration from the book I made
An illustration from a book I created for a childminder. This book is all about one owl and how he finds friends. I like the child like effect I used within the book, as if the drawing and colours used where selected by a child. I wanted to capture and interest my audience, that's why I produced it in this way.
Sketch Book Cover Competition Entry
This is my competition entry for the company 'Pink Pig'. I was asked to produce a cover for a sketch book that is commercial to be used by any one, but also that will appeal to any one. I took inspiration from the original logo. I wanted to make it sketchy with a hand drawn feel. The colours used are of a pastle pallet that suit the logo also.

Tiger Print Competition Entries
Tiger Print Lovely Days Competition
I've had a go at creating three 'love' based prints for the Tiger Print Company.

Love Sweet Love
I have used bright colours that overlap which I think creates a unique effect. The use of bright colours make me feel cheery, as love does.
Lots Of Hearts
This design was a real trial and error one that turned out quite well. I started off with one single heart. I then turned this into a row, then changed the colours and opacity. I was then left with this completed design. I finished it off by adding one single white heart to contrast against all the colour.
Flower Hearts
These flowers petals are created from three hearts layered on top of each other. I then duplicated this one layer a further three times and placed them around each other to create a flower shape. I then added green stems and placed lots of flowers around the page.

Top Five Materials...From The Future!
We don't often stop and consider materials in our day to day lives, but they impact our lives more than almost any other scientific field.
From the plastic in your cup to the glass in the window, these elements have quite literally built the world around you, and there is so much more to discover and invent!
Read on and look over these images of the new materials and processes creeping into our lives.
5. Translucent Concrete
Concrete buildings are known for their strength and stability, rather the cold darkness they make us feel. But then, translucent concrete started to make its way on to the scene.
Translucent concrete is mixed with glass fiber strands, which then is moulded into the common concrete we know. 'LitraCon', the concrete is called, can be used in flooring, walls and pavement.
It cast shadows, lets in light and gives an opaqueness to a former dark room.
4. SensiTile
In our house, we have various pathways to take. From the kitchen to the dining room, bedroom to the toilet. But SensiTile makes these pathways a tad more enjoyable.
As you walk along the kitchen, to go to the sink perhaps, the floor lights up and twinkles to guide your path the dark room.
The concrete of the tiles is embedded with acrylic fiber-optic channels that transfer light from one point to another. As shadows move across Terrazzo's surface, the light channels flicker with a randomized, twinkling effect.
3. Kinetic Glass
We have all opened a window when we are too warm, left the room and come back later to a room that is too cold, wouldn't it be better if that window knew we had left the room and closed?
This is where Kinetic Glass is different. The surface is embedded with wires that contract to electrical stimulus. This then causes 'Gill' like openings to contract, letting in fresh air and monitoring the Co2 levels around you.
2. Richlite
It wouldn't seem logical to create a counter surface from paper, but with slight adjustments it shows how even the simplest materials can be sustainable creating something completely different.
70% of the counter is made with recycled paper. The counter tops are then treated with a resin, and then baked to create solid sheets.
1. Self repairing Cement.
Pot holes could soon be a thing of the past, by this self repairing cement stopping them from developing at the first sign of a crack.
This cement is mixed with microcapsules that release a glue-like epoxy resin that will automatically repair any cracks that form in the path or road

Colour!
Colour, what's my inspiration?
A h&m bag, edited on snapseed to enhance the brightness and contrast of the colours on the bag.
The green and red worked together, contrasting well, while the yellow hue adds a bit of fun and quirkiness.
