Unit 2

This is my illustration research (Pinterest board)

These are my 2 completed design boards with my designs added and stuck on, I feel like not adding anything behind the designs makes it just as affective as it would with more added on.

These are my 3 layout ideas for my design boards, I wanted to keep the middle of the board plain, because my designs are very bright and extra, so if I had pictures behind it, they would just merge into each-other and I want my designs to stand out more than my background, I just added some pictures of what I was inspired by for these 8 designs around the sides of my board + the colours I went for.

These are my 8 final added media designs, I am happy with my designs and what they look like, with the skin tones I think I could of gone into a little more detail and with the faces, but I am very happy with the media ideas and the colour choices.

this is my mood board to show what I got the inspired by for my customer, I picked a colour palate that most suited my customer, which is bright and colourful, I added objects on the mood board because if you looked at my collection you would be able to see where the shapes and designs are coming from.

This is another video for f me adding media to another one of my 8 piece designs, I really like this hark blue/ purple really stands out, but still looks really bold at the same time, I find that the colour really suits the designs of the dress.

This is a video of me adding media to my final final 8 piece collection, with this design, I really tried to make it pop and stand out, and really match up to my customer, so I thought using tin foil would really do the trick for that and it did, it just gives it a pop star vibe, which i am going for

This is me adding media to one of my final final 8 designs, I liked using the fine liner to represent feathery fur because it looks similar too it, I thought red and black really go together and the skin tone suited those two colours

this is my finalised logo from Paul’s lesson, my logo isn’t too complicated but looks quits sophisticated at the same time which i am happy with. To create my logo on illustrator i had to draw my logo picture out first which would be the rose, then add it to illustrator and go over it with fine lines so it crisps it up a lot more.

This is me designing a background for one of my 8 piece collections, I didn’t want to make it too complicated but make the page pop when you see it because that links back to my customer (make a statement vibe), I really enjoy decorating my pages because it really just makes the pages come to life a lot more.

These are my 3 daft layouts for my press release, messing aroud and designing my layouts was enjoyable and fun to see how diffrent they look by just moving a few things around, i like the way my layouts have come out, they aren’t too in your face but have the right amount of detail on them, I wanted them to look pretty and formal at the same time.

i made a mind map based on my 8 piece collection to describe it, i enjoyed making this mind map because i became a lot more familiar with descriptive words. writing my draft press release i didnt want to make it too long but just long enough to get all the important information in there.

These are my 12 draft designs for my 8 piece collection + 3 mixed design drafts. Personally I wasn’t too happy with my designs that I created so I decided to add and recreate some of my designs for my 8 piece collection and now I am much happier with my designs, with my first designs I think I made them too 3D and standard they didn’t suit my character and was a little boring, they just needed a touch up which I did.

This is me adding media to my pieces for my collection, for this dress I coloured the skin in with pro markers, I think I’m getting a little bit better with pro markers, the key to pro markers is the fading and the darker and lighter areas which is a little tricky because they like to bleed a lot, but I am definitely improving with them.
