Idris Elba for next James Bond

I decided to make this campaign poster for the British actor Idris Elba to become the next James Bond. Why not Idris? A very good international British actor. Images from Google.                    

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan

This artwork is of the London Mayor Sadiq Khan. I respect and believe in everything he has done for London. I made the image from Wikipedia into dots to symbolise this capital conceptually that he runs.

Zayn Malik

This artwork is my print and collage of musician Zayn Malik who was formerly in the British boyband One Direction. I admire Zayn and love his music. I had many options for the words and what to read. In sheet music, in Urdu but decided to go with a book page. Image was obtained from Wikipedia.

Justin Bieber in Manchester concert last year


This artwork is about the show last year in respect to the fans of Ariana Grande who died in Manchester last year. It is a photo of Justin Bieber's performance. It is in my signature style of frames. Image obtained from Google.


Donald Trump artwork

This artwork is political but fictional. It is obviously about Donald Trump and the media slandering about him. In my professional opinion he is a good president. It is a fictional response to what the media said to back Barack Obama saying 'Yes he can' and for Donald the opposite. Image obtained from Wikipedia.

Collage photograph of a someone holding a sketchbook

This artwork in the form of a collage is a photograph of someone holding a sketchbook. It was originally meant to be as part of a T-Shirt design but it was required to be a simple drawing instead. The collage was inspired by the work of artists FAILE.

New five pound notes artwork

This artwork I created is to celebrate the new change of £5 notes in the United Kingdom. I designed it last year but didn't want to blog it then but feel now is the perfect time to showcase this design. I was actually inspired by another project brief I did in university that was about money.

HAPPY DAYS

This project was to make a theatre poster celebrating the writing of Samuel Beckett. Initially I refused the project from my tutors as it wasn't best suited for me but decided to design my own version anyway. This artwork and graphic design was inspired by American graphic design from the 1990s. 

Lucky Number Slevin / TYRANTS

This design is based upon research I conducted in sixth form whilst I was studying and doing a project about movie posters. I decided now to put my own spin on it calling it 'TYRANTS' fictionally. Professionally in my opinion Lucky Number Slevin is a very good movie but due to my research some people find it homophobic. 

Younger students graphic designs

This blog post was about me doing my research and going to the past to see what the students from my former university are doing. I believe that the tutors have done a great job and the artwork is really good.
