Further artist research

Tricia Tusa

             She has several techniques but my favourite is her pen and ink illustrations.



All her illustrations have lots of texture
and her shading and tone work is subtle
enough for it to look as if it is natural.

Narrative Image - research into artist

For my Narrative Image project I would like to do pencil illustration as i feel that is my strongest style. During my research I found an artist and illustrator called Maya Wild based in London.




I think this could be the final style I choose, because I like the blend of collage and pencil drawing, as it creates a unique look that I believe will transfer to the passages from Alice in Wonderland I have chosen.

Website layout thumbnails

Looking at other websites has shown me the endless possibilities of what I could achieve, however time to create them is an issue meaning I will keep mine simple. I have come to the decision that i will base my designs around my strongest feature which are my illustrations.


I re-did this page design, as i didn't
like the original


Above are rough thumbnails of the different pages I want to create.

On the home page I will have three illustrations each representing a different page. At the moment I am thinking of having:

  • A rose for the gallery
  • A world globe for contact information
  • An image of me or my logo design I created in the first year
