Blogpost 7
In this blog post, we are asked to make use of three to five colour palette from blogpost 2 and print or paint a paper. We are then asked to cut simple shapes using these papers using the ideas that we have.
Repetition
Positive and negative space
Framing
Cropping
Scale
Layering
This one on the left is the first illustration that I made. I am doing a luxury clothing company for men as a corporate. Because of this I want the posters to look elegant, bold, masculine and stylish. So I made a tiger using colours and cut-up shapes to somewhat resemble a tiger. I also deliberately made the tiger pose that way. It supposes to look like it's growling and it's facing its back to the viewer. So the colour of the stripes would intimidate. I used the colours black gold and white to portray the elegance of the clothing company, to portray luxury. I think that using gold as the colour for the stripes of the tiger makes it much more elegant and stylish. I believe that this illustration showed different techniques of design. Such as repetition, layering, and scale. Repetition is achieved by using the stripes, the repetition of lines and the colour I used. layering was achieved through how I layered the text and the colours of the paper. Finally, scale is achieved by how I much I made the tiger bigger than the rest of the elements I used so that the viewer could focus their attention on it first rather than the text.
This is the second Illustration that I made. Like how I said in the first one. I want it to look elegant, bold, masculine and stylish. This illustration was supposed to be a luxury car like a Ferarri or Porsche leaving the scene, like a gala or a ball. That is the idea of this illustration. The road was supposed to be covered in golden leaves and scatter as the car passes by leaving behind a trail of golden leaves floating in the air. that is how I imagined it. In this illustration, I also used black, white and gold to portray the luxury and elegance theme.
