Rubber Stamps

           
 For this lesson,  I was given the task to make my own rubber stamps. 

I think that this task was quite challenging because I was cutting my designs out on a small surface. 

I think that the cloud and ghost design are successful. For both designs, I cut into the illustration and left the background as rubber. 

The skull design didn't work at first because I hadn't cut into the background enough. But after cutting into the background and leaving the skull in rubber, it worked effectively.

To create the colours for the designs, I used felt tip or a highlighter. The colours eventually were layered on top of each other. That's why with some designs, such as the purple, it looks like pink and blue have been applied together. I like how this makes has a risograph look to it.

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.
