Gig posters and ideas for merch. early stages.

So I have set  out to try and come up with some band merchandise designs that can be used on a number of products. First I decided i was going to use british wildlife as the base of this project, this is due to been a very outdoors person and i love what I see when i'm or walking, fishing or away with my wife and dog in our  campervan. I take loads of photos when i'm out and about so I tried to go though them and see what i could use for ideas and inspiration.



Here are a few of the ones with wildlife in, these are taken on my compact digital camera.


At one of my tutorials it was said i should try and do this project and i should attempt to do it with no human skull illustrations in my final product. From the moment this was said the only ideas i could come up with where based around skulls, to help me continue on this project i decided that to try get the skulls out my system i would use the animals skull in the drawings. This works great for me as i love drawing skulls and bones and this gave me the oppertunity to expand the different types of skulls in my arsenal.

After this it was decided that the skulls would be a great addition to the alternative music fans i was aiming these designs at. getting my brain into gear to get on with this project is something im struggling with. Trying to do so many projects at once is something i do not enjoy and i'm finding this is the project that is getting neglected.

Here is some pages from my sketch book i go though a range of different ideas and in here you can see the starting stages of my poster construction test.
