Fighting Fit


Fighting Fit_ In excellent physical condition. 'Andrew is fighting fit and ready to start work again.' This phrase derives from cock-fighting.



Relating to the idiom's origins, i however don't think people will immediately understand this if i were to do it...

Here is a stock image of a physically fit bloke flexing his muscles. Perhaps a more active take of the idiom?

A form of martial art or boxing would work well just like this illustration... Id have to pick out the obvious give away though as to what sport it is, and a martial art would be tough.

An editorial illustration for the guardian... Fighting Fit indeed.

I think its safe to say that a boxing theme would suit this idiom best in my opinion and Derek Russell's work of Muhammad Ali certainly does the job.

This is it, ideal for what im after, the gloves that will sum up the theme with the idiom with no problem... To the sketchbook!

Having collected and finalised my imagery here is the card below in the template i hope to continue with. I have chosen to do this because of the success the last range had with peers and tutors, thus not wanting to deviate too far. Note that the text is in the same fashion as the previous card range, adding continuity:




Here is the front and inside of the envelope developed and adapted from the previous card range project. I have changed the imagery to suit and complement this particular card. I am sticking with this design because it works most effectively and was a success previously.
