I like this page in my sketchbook, I think it looks effective because i sketched the coins using pencils and a black marker pen. I could take these designs further by printing with them, transfer them onto fabric using dye-sublimation etc.

I also drew the coins onto different backgrounds, newspaper, tracing paper.. to see how they would look on different backgrounds. I think the newspaper looks most effective because it combines and contrasts the different in the old fashioned looking newspaper and the modern coin, which show different era's in Britian.

I looked at architecture in britian and one of the most popular architectural buildings in England is Big Ben. I took a photograph of Big Ben whilst i was in London, i sketched the building using a combination of pencils and pens. Architecture will be interesting to use in my work as i could use the sharp edges and shapes used in architecture and how it has changed over the different eras in britian.

Experimenting with materials to create the underground sign used in London.

I looked at the victorian postage stamp. I find the British stamps interesting because i like how they change over the years and there are thousands of different designs on them. I will use the postage stamp in my work, i have created a canvas with the stamp and queens head on it because the stamp is traditionally British.
