Lettering



 

For this task, I was challenged with combining lettering and image. As, the letters will spell the word merry, I tried to come up with a design that would link to Christmas. The colour scheme was limited to: Red, Green, Yellow, Black and White. 

For the design presented, I've show the bottom of the letter "R" to be presents that are stacked on top of each other. At the top of the letter, I wanted to show a girl balancing on top of these presents, trying to put a star on the tree. To out-line the letter, I decided to draw some lights. 

I believe that this design is successful because I've thought about how the combine image and text. Also, I made sure that the design wasn't too complicated. To add pattern to certain elements, such as the clothing and presents, I've applied a variety of dots and lines. I was worried that the colour scheme wouldn't make the presents stand out but I do think that applying these patterns helped.

To improve this design even further, I could of drawn roughs of different layouts to shown different ways on how the presents and person could of been arranged from different perspectives.

Spot Illustration Ideas

 After producing some thumbnail designs, I decided to focus on creating some spot illustrations.  The first spot illustration presents a person trapped inside of a cage. Because circus animals spend 11 months within a year in a cage when travelling, I wanted to show a reverse aspect. I believe that this drawing is successful because I've created an illustration by using a limited amount of space. I think that the design as a whole is quite effective because it can make viewers think about what it would be like if we were restricted within a cage for that amount of time.  The second spot illustration shows a lion holding an electric prod. Based upon my research, I found out that the animal trainers use this tool to force animals to perform their tricks. For this design, I wanted to show what it would be like if the lion was the trainer. I like this illustration because it could suggest how having a wild animal controlling a human being isn't funny. So it could make viewers...

My World

Image
 For this task, I was challenged with producing an illustration that shows my own world. Within this illustration, I wanted to show what I value. For example, I've drawn a cartoon version of me sitting on top of my world with my two dogs.  I think my design is successful because I've used a mixture of detailed and simple lines. Also, I've tried incorporating illustration on the inside of the world as well as the outside.  However, I think that I could try improving this design by applying colour to it.
