#whyproject

To conclude I am happy with the outcome and the amount of work and effort I was able to put into this project, even when we were given a limited time for the project. getting to the point I got too is something that I am very proud of.

To develop my idea of the progression of colour, I used pink and red food dye to change the colour of the toilet paper. I first took a piece of A3 paper and laid out different thickness of toilet paper over the top. When the dye is used by itself, it dries too dark for my intention of it. To overcome this I watered down the dye so the colours wouldn’t be as harsh.

improvements to make : illustration continuity, hierarchy needs to be better. change the title, make simpler.

Why project final layouts

My next step was to consider the colour and find one that symbolised slowness. This would help me convey my first message through colour, as it would tell the viewer the mood of my project. I chose blue as it is known to represent slowness. 

I found that the colour illustration was not quite consistent in colour to include in my poster. So I changed it to monochrome to get rid of all the inconsistencies and glare that came from the poor lighting in my room. I also think that one colour makes the viewer focus on the details, which are more meaningful in this work. I got rid of the Dali clock to draw more attention to the illustration and to fully celebrate my work. The dripping alarm clocks looked harmonious with the black and white clock, but not next to the elements of my illustration, so I tried to attach them to my illustration by placing text on the wavy lines that are part of my design. I'm not sure about the layout, but I think it will be easy to fix once I figure out where to place my question.

My illustration is heavily inspired by these artists and their beautifully detailed work. I wanted to include fine detail in my work to illustrate the number off all the things irrelevant to my design that I did during this project.

When I scanned my artwork, I wasn't happy with its quality and texture. My solution was to try redrawing it in Procreate to see if it would look cleaner. But when I drew the first few lines, I realised that the work had lost its value - wasting time on something unimportant. I had spent at least 4-5 hours on my drawing and recreating it in Procreate would have taken much less time and lost the sense of duration. So I just photographed my drawing and edited it in photoshop to fix its vibrancy and texture.
