DJMAG
Illustration for the DJMAG Top 100 DJ Awards in conjunction with Incharge Recordings artist DJ Marco V.
Used as a 'Your DJ needs you' postcard campaign.
Mixmag - Issue 218
I recently created 3 unique pages of artwork for use in a feature for Mixmag magazine promoting DJ Marco V's forthcoming albums, Propaganda.
Compositions created depict his life and interests from childhood to the present day.
Check it out in the Mixmag issue 218 (2009).
Marco V - Propaganda V1
The 1st part of the exclusive comic for Incharge Recording Artist DJ Marco V for his new studio albums, Propaganda Part One & Two.
I produced the artwork, concept and storyline where we see Marco set in the future trying to free the minds of people that have been brainwashed from an organisation with hidden agendas! Can he save the day?
Please check out the album which is out now and available through Marco's website and all good record stores!
Urban Species
Various designs for use on t-shirts and apparel for London clothing store Urban Species, based in funky Brick Lane.
I wanted to create a more modern approach to the hindu Goddess Kali yet wanted to retain the ideas of eternal energy, time and change that the Goddess represents. I also wanted to stay true to the visions from stories I was told when I was younger. I have seen many images representing the figure as something quite scary and menacing, surrounded by darkness. I tried to create the opposite here and something a bit more organic and fresh.
The second image is called Hi-Tek, inspired by Tron at the time, again mixing the natural with the digital.
Marvel
Iron Man promotional artwork produced for the first Iron Man movie francise from Marvel Entertainment.
The second image was more artwork produced as promotional material for EMI recordings artist Simon Webbe for the title song, 'Ride the storm', from Marvel's Fantastic Four - Rise of the Silver Surfer movie. Both in conjuction with Urban Species.
RGB Interactive Media
As well as illustrating I also have a passion for digital interactivity and creating visually appealing User Interfaces. The examples shown here are various 2D and 3D concepts produced for client RGB Interactive Media.
RGB Interactive Media is a leading kiosk and digital signage solutions provider, I work in collaboration with them producing a wide range of material from concepts to front end User Interfaces.
Installations and successful trials are live and span the whole of the UK.
RGB clients include Topman/Topshop, Game Plc, Pfizer and many more.
Misc. Projects
Here's a few projects I'm working on or have worked on at some point in time.
The Adventures Of The Mighty Caped Koala was a concept for a book and character design. The brief was to replace the animal in the title with whatever I thought would work best. I chose a Koala as there mightly cute and I just haven't seen many childrens book characters based on the sleepy huggables.
VMix was a concept for a DJ application I wanted to develop for the iphone but soon realised that there are issues with playing and calling songs from the users itunes library.
The idea was to allow users to learn or practice mixing their favorite songs together which they could then record. The app would feature kill switches, a cross fader, ptch sliders as well as track info and a bpm counter. The user would use there thumbs to scratch, cue and mix the vinyls. Mixing would be accomplished by splitting the lift and right channels on the headphones.
A great time passer, fun, informative and a great app for all those aspiring DJs out there! If there are any developers interested in something like this, I'd be happy to hear from you!
The Batman concept was just some fun using sketches and my beloved Wacom tablet visioning a Batman of the future, or for any DC Comics fans out there, a Batman costume for Bruce Wayne's return to the dark side. The original was produced on an A3 page.
The 'Slenky'poster was produced and created while working fulltime as Senior Multimedia Designer for the mobile-centric creative advertising agency, Mobsventures. Slenky is a revolutionary project from Mobsventures which bridges the gap of social networking communities with real life working opportunities and life long experiences.
Live Energy NG
Live energy is the leader in developing and installing renewable energy systems designed specifically for emerging markets. They provide a range of different renewable technologies from Solar Photo Voltaic and Thermal Systems to Wind Turbines and Bio Mass Generators as well as energy saving and energy storage technology.
Live Energy had a website and logo which they wanted to refresh. I created a few concepts from which this final logo was chosen. The company has offices in many parts of the world with much work being provided in Africa, especially Nigeria. The logo was inspired by the flower of life pattern and colours that represent Nigeria and the green of peace. There are many logos that use the sun for solar panel company logos, however we felt that something different, modern and clean would look better.
An on going project with more updates coming soon.
Digicova
Digicova will be bringing news on all things Digital Art, Comics, Video games and Anime in the form of an online blog.
The name is an amalgamation of the related topics. I worked with the client to bring the his ideas to life from the logo, colours to the upcoming look and feel of the website.
Another on going project with more updates coming soon.
Testimonial
"Digicova needed a site design and Vee Ladwa was instrumental on the final design achieved.
Vee Ladwa did an incredible job, not only transferring my thoughts visually but taking the time to understand the concept and producing work that was creative, consistent and cutting-edge.
A dedicated, passionate and talented designer who will be contacted again for his professionalism and friendly work ethic."
V-Cars
V-Cars has over 25 years driving experience and is Swindon's fastest growing premier private hire company and market leader with over 850 cars in Bath, Bristol, Chippenham and Swindon and handles over 70,000 jobs every week. V Cars' investment in the latest technology makes booking faster, more efficient and more reliable than ever before such as the iphone application available through the website and itunes store.
V-Cars required a website revamp with a rework on the current logo.
V-Cars also provide business meeting rooms,airport transfers and a luxary premier service which they wanted to create a presence for on one website instead of on multiple sites.
