moving to graphics

hey sorry its been a while since ive updated but everytime i tried to somthing went wrong either computer crashed or the post wouldnt upload .
well i stuck it out in fashion for the whole lot of ranking which nealry killed me by the way ,but unfortunatly it just wasnt for me so i switched and was very gratfully taken in by the graphics gang.

the project was on 'positive ireland' so we had to deign an ad capaign of what our opinion was on whta was our own positve view of ireland .
The outcomes were to be
 billboard ,
t shirt and
 freebie designs
based on our concepts .

I decided to incorporated stuff i already knew alot about from my time in fashion to give a different spin on the project ,i highlighted the importance of crafts in ireland and how to promote it with the young people of ireland . here is my final imagesof the project  including billboards .t shirt images and freebie promo image.
