Natalie Tweedie

The flowers drawn in watercolour have a softness and calmness about them. Her work is very feminine. The simplicity of her work appeals to me - the white space around images in the book has influenced the layout of my portfolio.

Cotton Candy / British Vogue 08

Love love love these photographs from Vogue. They represent how the boundaries between fashion and graphic design are diffusing. The colours have influenced my FMP - the use of white, cream and greys with flashes of colour - reds and pinks to contrast.

Brown paper

There's something about brown paper that always seems to draw my attention. I came across this when I was doing research for my FMP. The typography is interesting - mixing different typefaces to create something much more eye catching.

Interesting ways of combining image and typography. I like the use of photography with hand-rendered typography in the first image - it has a sense of innocence. Doodling - freedom of thought / looks effortless and unplanned.

Typography in the second image was created to look like blood - the way the sentence hasn't been finished makes you think - what happened to make her stop writing half way through? 

This really grabbed my attention - the quote is so true. Although the more I think about it the more I question is it stating the obvious? However, it is inspiring - you should do things you enjoy or you'll live to regret it.
