Hennie Haworth

I looked at Hennie Haworth's illustration work in order to help with my Collection 100 project to look at ways of illustrating everyday objects. I like the way her drawing look like little doodles from afar but up close are quite detailed objects but come across with a careless style of drawing. I like how she draws individual objects, uses no shading, just outlines and blocks of colour but captures them perfectly.

I looked at her repeating pattern work to help me with the wrapping paper I made for the project, looking at composition, typography and overall style.

I specifically like the simplistic black line drawings she has done without any use of colour, as one of my favourite mediums to use it black fine liner, creating a almost cartoon like style but somehow keeping it realistic.

Blanka



This piece of typography works so well in representing London throught the traditional, red London buses you associate with the city. Using only two colours, red and black, it highlights the features of the bus and moving the two 'O's' in the bottom London, so easily and effectively changes the meaning of the poster.








Again, from the same the same designer, the poster range is based on London. Using only type again the format that the text is used works well to represent something that is universally known, the tube line maps.



Producing Images that effectively communicate a message to an audience




This design works on the idea of the First World War posters which read the line 'Your Country needs YOU,' working with this iconic tag line, the poster emphasises the 'You' working with guilt and aiming specifically at individuals.
