Sketching Initial Ideas and Starting to Bring Them Into Illustrator
These are some of the quick sketches I did in class to get some ideas. It was really useful and interesting seeing other peoples ideas and how clever people can be with just a few shapes, colours and/or words.
I then started moving into illustrator and it became easier to see what was working and what wasn't working. I think my most successful so far is the 'drowning in debt one'. I will continue to find artist models, do quick sketches and do more designs digitally.
I think the drowning in debt one is working the best because it is simple, yet my ideas are communicated with FADPs quite effectively. The scale, with the the person being so small, makes the ocean seem overwhelming and the person appear to be a victim. Also, the water rising up over the words and seeming to be filling up the page shows a sense of suffocation and claustrophobia. Also, the words and graphics work together because without the other, the meaning would not be made.
This idea didn't work as well as I wanted it to, but maybe I can rethink it. I wanted to create shock and tension, but I don't think I achieved this. Maybe I need to rethink my scale and placement of things.
