Greenpeace

This art work is an advertisement for a “Greenpeace“ campaigne against deforestation of the Amazon rainforest.

The message aims to suggest that meat consumers should buy local produced meat and not cheap produced meat from South America, as the South American meat industry results in vast areas of rain forest being reduced with each passing day.

Apocalyptic Cape Town.

For the preparation of this photo manipulation I found different concept artists who used Photoshop to create scenes for movies or computer games. This further inspired me to create an apocalyptic scenario for Cape Town.

It was very difficult to find adequate pictures in the right size to place into my work.

The entire project was a real challenge, but it was a lot of fun after I gathered and created all the right elements. It assisted me to learn more about the effects offered by the program.

Manticore.

This photo manipulation is an animal hybrid. It shows a manticore creature from old mythologic histories.

It combines the body of a lion with the wings of a bat and the tail of a scorpion.

This art work is one of my first photo manipulations and taught me a lot about Adobe Photoshop and colour-light study.

It is still among one of my favourite art works which I have created with Photoshop.

Pegasus.

My second animal hybrid follows a methological theme as well. The common name for this creature is, Pegasus. It consists of the white body of a horse and the wings of a swan. The lightshine behind the pegasus, should create a majestic feel.

Trapped Octopus.

I was inspired by the “ship-in-a-bottle” item which is commonly referred to as an “impossile bottle”. This made me want to design an item which incorporates the sea life present in the ocean. I chose the octupus because it is my favourite marine animal.

The Foreigner.

I chose the movie poster of “The Revenant” because it includes a lot of interesting Photoshop elements and effects.

Instead of Leonardo DiCaprio‘s face I placed my face on the poster and created the story about my journey from Germay to South Africa.

This project was quite challenging because I was permamently compared to the quality of the original poster.

I am satisfi ed with my result as it is easy to recognize which movie my poster is based on.

Icons.

My concept was to illustrate icons for a tourist tour through Bo-Kaap, which is world wide famous for its tiny, colourful houses.

The first icon represents the houses, the second one the islamic culture, and the third, represents the famous Noon-Gun which fires every day at noon. The fourth icon illustrates the small museum in Bo-Kaap. Furthermore, the fifth icon illustrates the well known spice shop situated in Wale Street and the last icon represents the vast variety of Halal foods and the restaurants in Bo-Kaap.

All six icons are in a colourful style to correlate with the atmosphere and imagery of Bo-Kaap.

Packaging.

I chose the Jungle Oats box because I was convinced that they needed an update of their current design.

I designed a new box template for the packaging and created a new, fresh look for the outside of the box.

I redesigned the Jungle Oats logo to a more simplistic logo, yet still maintaining a modern feel.

Magazine.

My magazine concept deals with stories and reports from unusual and extreme settings. Hence, the name, “No Limits“.

Featured in this issue is the British extreme surviver, Ed Stafford. The first person to walk the entire length of the Amazon River.

The magazine targets a male audience of every age, but is not biased against a female audience either.

The magazine is separated into several different chapters; culinary, adventure, lifestyle, future, adrenalin, nature and records. The layout comprises of bold, strong colours and sharp patterns to convey a feeling of masculinity and fearlessness.
