Assignment 3

Well this one was fun! Serendipitously, my son is planning a classical music concert with some friends for September. Less fortunately the requirements for the poster changed, midway through my ‘process’… Initially I understood that it would be 2 friends playing a selection of Mozart and Haydn violin and viola duets at achurch in Penymynydd.

Mock up

First Attempt So I decided to mock up a book cover for the book I have written, for this exercise. The book is titled Rose’s New Family and was editted by Lucy York. Basically the blurb will be: Rose is a recently adopted 7 year old girl who can talk to animals. In this adventure […]

Client Visuals

I have interpretted client visual to mean rough sketch from the example shown in the course booklet. I have seen that people have varying degrees of ‘roughness’ however where it comes to ‘roughs’. I guess mine are a little on the rougher side but were all done freehand and very quickly with no tracing involved. […]

Flora Bowley is a modern painter who employes intuition in the production of her beautiful paintings. Abstract art, on the other hand, may be thoroughly planned on concepts of composition, colour theory, […]

Image Development

How images are cropped and formatted can have a big effect on the story they are telling. I have chosen an image with background, foreground and action and cropped it in different ways to experiment with the story and see what the image has to offer. I chose to do this in Photoshop again to […]

Visual Hierarchy in an Image

The image contains: a dragon a throne pile of treasure cave 2 children heaps of armour I would say the image is about a dragon, possibly a baby – due to the small size of his wings, and he is asleep but could wake at any moment. From the heaps of armour, it would seem […]

Illustrating Visual Space

The way elements are placed within a frame has an effect on how the viewer understands the image. In particular placement can effect depth of the image, narrative, a sense of movement and scale. In this exercise we experimented with 3 subjects: a child running a tree a building I chose to work in Photoshop […]
