I'm Nicole, a
Designer & Illustrator
From Manchester,Uk
Hello, welcome to my online portfolio. where I plan to share my most recent sketches and illustrations to share you all of you.
My style that I have developed is based on children's illustrations, I love to use bright colours in my work to highlight the contrast between colours and textures. During my time at university, I tried many techniques and styles. I studied a lot to find the right style that best suits me as an artist as I continue to grow and learn by experience.
Post-GraduateIllustrator achieving a 2:1 Degree.
Graduating from Lancashire University in 2015 I would say was one of my biggest achievements so far, when I started university, I would say I was quite lost in my style of work. I still had not found my "niche" and was just producing work I was just unhappy with.
In my second year I started to work more digitally and started to take photoshop and illustrator computer lessons which sparked a light, and something just clicked. I loved working digital as I could get my work so much cleaner and bright to stand out and make that impact, I had been wanting slowly I started to find my style and with new the digital elements I had learned and continued with I started to produce work I was proud off showing.

Skills that I have learned.
Novice Level- I have experience in photoshop and can edit photos at a beginner standard, I do most of my sketch and initial designs in photoshop.
Advance Level - Again I like working in this program as it allows me to switch from vectors to pixels or either combined them, I also use the program to add textures and patterns to my work with the customisable brushes available.
Advance Level - This program allows me to produce work on the iPad more confidently, I like again how you can work in pixels or vector and is a great app to have if you need to work away from the computer, but it can do the same as the rest as the programs I normally use.
Advance Level - I have experience in all the Microsoft programs such as Word, PowerPoint, and Excel
