I am Yuyanda

After a brief conversation with my friend Jason Ng, who told me about his new designer clothing brand  u9ly Avenue  I told him about these designs and how I thought they would make cool T-shirts. I used the assets from a project I did with London Bus-Tops over the London 2012 Olympic Games, check out the  Behance project  I'm hoping we'll be able to work together in the future. The designs are now available to buy on my  Redbubble  &  Society6  stores Yuyanda's Blog of Art and Design, Animation and Illustration. 2020. All Rights Reserved.

God Help the Girl director Stuart Murdoch is the lead singer/songwriter of indie band Belle & Sebastian. In keeping with the bands bold two-tone album cover art I went for a minimal but more exciting full colour painting approach which should appease their fans with a single background colour to accompany each of the actor illustrations. The idea was if the illustration has a high saturation value then the background colour would be low saturation and vice versa. I later came across the Albers approach to colour studies which lead to finding the largest area of a hue from the actor illustration and producing a different colour within the same family for the background. I also attempted to combine these ideas with complimentary colours for each illustration and split complimentary colours to cohesively bring them all together.

Hi guys. I'm gonna share with you some W.I.P screen shots of new character designs and title graphics for a film poster I'm working on. The film in question is indie comedy Frances Ha played by Greta Gerwig  www.imdb.com , the poster design is part of a competition run by Movie Preview Network www.moviepreviewnetwork.com  and Metrodome. Whether I win or not its a great project and will fit nicely in my portfolio. I have hope and optimism.

Inspired by SoulCalibur HD from Kazembe Hamadi on Vimeo . This fully animated motion graphic is a short introduction to a promotional video which showcases my artwork and the making of it through screen capture software, inspired by fighting game SoulCalibur on the Sega Dreamcast. The finished video will feature my own portraiture artwork and a step by step creative process. The sequence was created using Adobe Photoshop CS3 and After Effects 7.0.

Hi guys. I was recently commissioned to create promotional poster material for a student film from Bournemouth University (UK) called ChitChatClick. The character designs 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. Will be working on this for the next coming weeks so keep an eye out for more art as and when I get it done. Enjoy.
