Native American Patterns

These are patterns I designed for a range of Bookmarks, Notebooks and Cards. They came out really well and although the colours are brighter than I would use, I think they worked really well.

Rainbow Crow Totem Pole


This is a Totem Pole illustration for the Native American story 'The Rainbow Crow'. In the story there are four main characters; A crow, an owl, a coyote and a turtle. I thought they would look interesting stylised, Which is why I made the animals have skulls instead of heads.

This is probably my favourite 'one day projects' I've done so far, I'm really happy with how it turned out.

Rainbow Crow Scenes

This project was to do with a Native American Myth called The Rainbow Crow. I decided to illustrate 6 stages of the story so that it could be understood visually.



Scene One: Animals freezing in endless snow
Scene Two: Rainbow Crow flies up to the heavens to ask a favour

Scene Three: The Rainbow Crow asks The Creator for Fire to warm the animals

Scene Four: Rainbow Crow flies back down to Earth, but is turned black from the soot

Scene Five: Rainbow Crow is sad to find that he has no colourful feathers any more

Scene Six: But after the animals are saved, they understand what he sacrificed. And The Creator rewards him with a hint of rainbow colours in his dark feathers.

Eden Project

For this brief I had to design packaging for 3 scented candles. My scents were Bluebell, Jasmine and Tomato and Blackcurrant

I decided to create the designs with as much femininity as possible, by making my lines delicate and colours subtle to try to create the general feel of the scents.

These are my outcomes:

Bluebell

 Jasmine



 Tomato and Blackcurrant


I really like how they look like a set, which is what I was aiming for.And how they transfer onto the actual box.
