Inspired by Nature Border

Evening all, Here's a little photo of my finished Inspired by Nature border as mentioned in previous posts, today I got some time to stick it all together after all the laminating and cutting. If i remember rightly it's about 12 A3 sheets all together so its bit a bit of a fiddly job but I'm glad it's all finally done and hopefully spruces up the board a little bit. So the idea is that you match the animal with the close up and the invention it inspired.
Today I also continued cutting out zoo animals from photographs in Photoshop in preparation to turn them into fact files in the new zoo branding. I also started work on a GIANT birthday card for Living Coasts/Paignton Zoo - (A bit like my previous Christmas cards) as the zoo is 90! and Living Coasts 10 years old.
Off on tiny long weekend break next week so expect to hear from me in 2 weeks! Over and out :)

Spring Poem

Smello all, 

Spring Poem Illustration 15/2/13

Just a little post to show something I did last week, tried to bring it back home with me before now but my memory stick died on me. disappointing. So anyway, here's some illustration for the poem shown, all spring themed and lovely.The poem gets read out and stuck on the wall to children attending Monday Monkeys club at the zoo, the plan is that there will be a series of seasonal poems for them to access eventually.Over and out :)

Nature Border/ Living Coasts visit.

Inspired by Nature border I created last week to surround a big pin board to be used within education at the zoo. The title refers to pictures that are stuck on the board itself using velcro, matching animals with the invention/product they have inspired.The border is to make it more interactive and colourful for children.

I took A visit over to Living coasts today to see some of the projects I have been working on at the zoo up and displayed. Here's the Mangrove Jellyfish sign.

Penguin Activity Station/ Penny Press Sign

Activity Station poster for Living Coasts, this is number 1 there are 10 in total and the poster gives school groups an indication of where they have to stop and do certain activities on the site.

Penny press sign, Just making the background a bit more interesting by adding some seaweed and coins. The original sign just had a plain background with the instructions and coin options shown.

Hello! Apologizes for the lack of posting recently, HAPPY NEW YEAR (and February) I hope to have some more interesting things to show you all soon including a nice illustrated border. Until then.. :)

The most wonderful time of the year :)
