History of love brief FINAL

I was quite happy with my final design for this piece, I didn't want the main focus to be too much on the hand gestures as i thought that may be too obvious so instead i incorporated them in a more subtle way and focused on the typography that related to the text.

Here is my final design:

And here are some progress shots of the cutting out process:

For the final design I chose a pale blue background, just to make the text more friendly and less harsh. I think the colour really worked nicely and made the image soft and inviting.

And this is how it turned out :)

Thanks for looking, I hope you like it :)

History of love brief

My latest brief is to create an illustration based on a piece of text from the novel "a history of love".

The text doesn't really show any events or describe much, but it talks mainly about how hand gestures were used as the first human language. 

I have sketched up a few small ideas after looking at some research.

I decided to take this piece a little differently and will hopefully be creating a cut out piece of work, inspired by the artists:

Rob Ryan 

&

Julene Harrison

You can see a sneak peak of the kind of design I plan to do in the image above :)

I'll post some more photos of my progress at a later date :)

C'ya soon :)

Fish and birds final piece.

For the final image of my fish and bird project I used watercolour paint, posca pens and chalk.

I'm really happy with the outcome of this image and had a lot of fun with the freedom of the brief. I enjoyed being able to use my own style and create a piece I was excited about. 

Here are some images of the final outcome.

Thanks for looking :)
