I am Yuyanda

I was recently commissioned to create promotional poster material for a student film from Bournemouth University (UK) called ChitChatClick. The story revolves around four modern women who communicate via mobile but when they finally meet face to face, all is not as it seems and things turn for the worse! I wanted the film's title design in text message format with an added flavour of glitz and glamour. The graphic design is based on digital photography of text messages typed on my LG-KP170 mobile phone and captured with my Minolta Z1 digital camera. I decided it makes more sense working from a realistic base rather from scratch shown below. Also used a tutorial from The Artist's Guide to Photoshop, here 's the link http://www.digitalartsonline.co.uk/artistguide/ For ChitChatClick character designs check out my Deviantart gallery http://yuyanda.deviantart.com/gallery/33155957

If you don't know I am a massive Bruce Lee fan and recently decided to touch up some digital work I did for my degree show inspired by Bruce Lee called Audio Visual Posters. I guess what brought me back to it was a belief it had more to offer and a longing to get it out there and contribute to Bruce Lee's legacy within the industry... well that's the plan anyway. The original artwork has been exhibited in Bethnal Green, Ada Street Gallery and London Trocadero. I also presented the poster to Linda Lee (Bruce Lee's widow) and daughter Shannon Lee in 2008 gaining a signed copy.    So I went back to the project files and created a PDF presentation in Adobe InDesign complete with Bookmarks, interactive buttons and hyperlinks in aid of my mission. I have sent the new poster art and PDF to a number of Asian film distribution companies and the Bruce Lee Foundation, I know its a long shot but I need to get it off my chest and move on. Done! The PDF can b...

Took a break from character painting to get the films title graphic design out the way. By happy accident I ended up with 2 finished design, which do you prefer? Visual language is mobile phone screens and text messaging. Macro photography was used as a plate for various effects and filters. I miss my camera, its always fun times. Enjoy

I was recently commissioned to create promotional poster material for a student film from Bournemouth University (UK) called ChitChatClick. The character design shows how the actors real likeness is captured through modern 3D animated 'cartoon' features. I also looked at Jason Brooks 'Fashionista' drawings for style and exaggeration. I gave her a contemporary high street sense of fashion referencing brands from H&M to NEXT to Debenhams which best reflected Heathers's personality. She is the slimmest of the 4 ladies and the creepiest looking so I played along those qualities. Mobile phones play an integral role in the screenplay so a level of interaction with the accessory was critical, referencing HTC p3470 smartphone for an authentic look. The story revolves around four modern women who communicate via mobile but when they finally meet face to face, all is not as it seems and things turn for the worse! Its short but sweet.
