Finley Corlett Art Portfolio

This poster is the result of a 2 week graphic design project I was given in my foundation year. The brief was to create an informative poster or leaflet, the content of which relating to Health. I used Adobe Illustrator to create this poster.

I love drawing pattern, I find it almost therapeutic. I enjoy working with fine liners and marker pens, materials that aren’t forgiving when making mistakes. Attention to detail is crucial. 

Experimenting with two-point perspective and planning drawings in a small sketch book I often have on me.

Another short project from my foundation course, looking at the human form, we were given scrap card, glue sticks and scissors only. 

These are two pieces of work that I have produced recently for a photography project focussing on portraiture. I wanted to tackle the brief in a different way to what my tutor had seen before. I used Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop to composite the images used. I have designed them to be printed in A1, so that when standing close, the smaller images take precedence. 

I produced these paintings using acrylic paint in my sketchbook, I am more fond of these two pieces than the final piece that I later went on to create for the project.

A 3D design project with the title ‘Furnitecture’ I was given towards the end of 2019. Initially I started looking at stained glass windows, from this I knew I wanted to incorporate light in to the piece in some way. I created four incrementally larger cubes from acrylic surrounding a central LED bulb, unfortunately you’re unable to see the detailing on the inner two cubes. I enjoy using software like adobe illustrator when designing pattern.

During my induction week in my Foundation Course I was presented with a pile boxes which I was given 30 minutes to draw with a selection of graphite sticks and pencils before we moved on to the next room.

Nicoletta, our life model for the day. I shot these images using 35mm film and I developed them afterwards in my college’s dark room.
