robot leaflet.

Here is a mock up for the Recycle Robots leaflet. Simple, friendly and playful.

Robot A5 to A1 poster

I wanted to make something more interactive for people to have and desirable to keep. I have tried to tell a simple narrative of how the robots were created. Starting with the pens, next the Mac the the robot parts etc......

This is a stop motion piece I created for my recycling project. It is rough, flawed and needs refining but the idea is clear enough. Hope you like it.

Robots photoshoot

Today was a good day. I finally took a good step forward with my 'Robots' brief. I had arranged with a friend to work with me to take some photos of my little creations. I set some scenes up for my cut out 'Robots' to be shot in. We worked together using both my ideas for scenes and perspectives and Ed's expertise in photography and the technical stuff. ( http://www.edwud.com/ )

The first scene represents the craft and interactive qualities of my idea. (to get families involved in recycling.)

I then created a range of scenes to get some nice images which contains depth of field and interesting perspectives. I wanted the characters to appear to be communicating and working together.

I then worked on introducing items of litter which could be recycled. Here is where I feel the idea was at its clearest.

The sixth image is represents the regimental idea that the characters are apart of an army of helpers, organised and controlled.

I will now be working into the images layering up type and shapes to create the advertisements for the recycling project.

My recycled robot

I made my own 'recycle robot' to see if my concept to help children understand recycling could actually work. Well I am the biggest kid there is and I enjoyed making it. It was made from recyclable cardboard products we use on a daily basis. I then painted it black and stuck some detail on to make the robot come to life. I do feel this concept could work as a tool to bring families together and enforce the understanding of recycling. 

"Try it yourself......Recycled robots!!" (that's my reference to my many years watching 'art attack')

Lets build a robot

This is a print design to interest children and parents in the importance of recycling. I especially like the wooden robot illustration.

Robot Type

This is a piece of type made from the components that the robot characters are made.

This is a selection of robot characters I have created as part of a recycling campaign for children. They are hand drawn and edited in Illustrator.
