Advert for myself

The was an empty space in the magazine this month and the editor couldn't think what to put there so she offered me the space! So I made myself this advert. I've been feeling under the weather today though so made things easier on myself by looking for inspiration but I don't think its bad. Think I will need to look at it again once I'm feeling better but hey I still worked when ill!

The bubbles were to represent 'ideas' and the apple mac is because thats what I use, well actually I use a Macbook Pro laptop so I can work where ever I am but its still a Mac. The swirls and leaves are to show that my designs grow and the reason I chose a pencil was because I draw up my ideas. I also chose a handwriting font as it felt more arty and like I wrote on the advert myself, showing a personality to my advert.

I also added the Art Tutoring as I have been helping my Step Dad's nephew with his GCSE Art as he's struggling with it because he has problems at school. He said that I'm an amazing teacher and he hasn't been able to understand what to do until I explained it to him in a visual way and showed him examples. My theory is, Art is a visual subject so why would you give assignments with just words. A lot of students choose art because they want to be taught visually so do it! Any way, because I have helped him so much and I enjoy it; I thought why not offer my help to other teenagers who are struggling.

I added paintings because I love to paint and I love the idea of being commissioned to do paintings for people and discussing with them what they are looking for to get the perfect piece for their home. My mum has been after a painting for her lounge that fits her purple and turquoise/teal colour scheme and she loves my style and Doug Hyde's so I've been designing a piece that is inspired by 1 of his paintings and using her colour scheme. When it's done and if she still wants me to paint it, then I'll post pictures of it on this blog.
