Current Design Love: Watercolour

How freaking gorgeous is this?! I love everything, the simple font, design.. and the contrast of colourful watercolour is just perfect!!

This gorgeous design element can add a fun pop of colour or create an elegant texture and offers a flowing contrast to strong, simple or bold typography. To incorporate watercolour into computer graphics all you need is some watercolour paints to make up some designs then use a scanner to upload them to your computer and finally add your typography, its really is so simple.

Hope you got some inspiration from today's post!

TAFE Update and My Artwork

I'm now in my second year of TAFE and I cant believe how quick the time has gone!! I promised earlier last year in this post that I would share some of my work so here is a few photos of a Dust Jacket that I'm currently working on. The brief was to combine photography and conceptual ideas to capture the letters A R and T and finish the title of Art is...something?(with relation to the photos) Then create a Duck Jacket using Adobe Indesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. Here are the results...

 I am so grateful that I got the opportunity to do this course. I'm creating a bunch of designs for my portfolio and I have learnt so much (and it's been super fun). Hope you have enjoyed taking a look at some of my work,

DIY: Hi Res Desktop Collages

I've lately been obsessed with personalising pretty much everything and creating cute backgrounds for my computer and phone. My style is constantly changing and I'm always being inspired from my favourite site Pinterest! You can keep up to date with what I've been pinning here. 

Here's a recent collage I have made and am using for a desktop background...

To make one for yourself here is a quick little DIY...

First find a heap of inspiring, cute, pretty or dreamy images that you just love. you can find them through tumblr, we heart it, pinterest or where-ever you prefer. Save them all into a folder on your computer.

Next just go to Pic Monkey and choose collage...

Then choose one of the square layouts, you can resize and delete the individual boxes but you cant add them so I tend to pic the 25 square one...

Simply auto fill all of your photos into the box or you can individually choose the order.

You can also adjust the dimensions to fit your computer's screen (or phone screen). Bellow are the dimensions I used for a Macbook Pro 13-Inch.

Resize and play around with the layout, get creative and then save your masterpiece. 

I really love this website as it is so quick and simple and most of all easy to use! Hope you all enjoy and remember to follow me on Pinterest :) Have a lovely day!

Pom Pom Pants!

I am so obsessed with these gorgeous shorts from Wonderlandhonolulu on Etsy. The colours and prints are just perfect and the pom poms are just the right touch! Check out this amazing shop, there are lots more cute finds where these come from :)

Enjoy!
