website and degree show

To those visiting my website I have directed you to my blog to view recent work and contact details while I am currently constructing my brand spanking new website. If you have any enquiries or wish to view more work from my portfolio please email me at alexmilespre@live.co.uk.

The degree show was a very strange experience, although I wouldnt go to the extent that it felt like it marked an end of an era, there was a weird feeling in my stomach which was perhaps a mixture of nerves and excitement about my future and propects of being a succesfull free-lance illustrator. but despite this I am happy to say I will be stationed in Birmingham next year.

In preperation for my show ive been working hard trying to get my images as crisp and perfect as possible.

scared is an understatement to desribe I will be feeling after my degree show is over and im pushed into the real world, getting my website up and running is my next big project.

I just have to see what happens, but its all good

New Topman "Dandy" promotion


Finally i have come up with a couple of compositions for my Topman promotion which im pleased with, and here they are. obviously they echoe the style of the femme fetale images but to i wanted to ensure the images portray a masculine edge while also showing the flair and elegence of he "dandy" character.

Topshop promotional campaign advertiseing the "femme fetale" range









Here my my "near" finished images that i produced for my topshop promotion based around "the femme fetale". I like the relationship between the image and text, the text being quotions from famous respected figures such as Oscur wilde.

Courteeners Band T -shirt



Another mini brief that i set my self while focusing on the indie rock music industry was to design a bnad tour t shirt. the one i produced is based on the band "the courteeners", the lyrics are from an album track "Fallowfield Hillbilly", and to me sum up the wit and outspoken commentry that make the courteeners such a good band.

V FESTIVAL promotional poster project



set my self a short brief at the start of the year to produce a promotional poster for the V festival. went to the festival for the first time last year and it was astounding how little advertisement there is surrounding such a big event. the images are based around the idea that the crowd and paying customers make the festival what it is, instead of focusing on the bands
