2015 kicked off with another round of creative bootcamp in the form of Lilla Rogers MATS bootcamp course. This first month we were tasked with creating a journal design inspired by Edwardian brooches.
The brooches I was most drawn to were simple designs with beautiful faceted gems in greens and purple.
Here are some of my initial doodles and drawings of the gems: 
ink & wash drawings
pencil sketches
Here is the final journal design I created. Using the simple brooch designs to create a repeating pattern as a cover design. With the addition of a hand written journal font to the left.
After creating the journal piece above, I was really inspired by the simplicity of the small colour swatches and the same facet design. So decided to play around with this to create a simple faceted polka dot design.
I have also been having a little play with an S is for scribble logo (see above) hopefully more of this to come in another post soon.
