Studio workshop: gouache painted landmarks

 

 

Here I have painted the five landmark drawings using a gouache paint medium, the gouache paint medium is a paint medium I have never painted with before and something I wanted to try which was different to other paint mediums. For the paintings I decided to paint the landmarks not including line which was something completely new to me as I have always developed illustrations using a strong outline. The paint going over pencilled version I redrew of the landmarks filling in the different spaces creating a sort of abstract image of the landmarks. Developing illustrations with the idea of them being abstract was completely new to me as I always like to draw presenting good detail. The colour pallet for the paint landmarks being similar to the Photoshop colour version.

 

I now intend to paint the fonts using gouache similar to how I painted the landmarks and coloured the fonts on Photoshop. 

 

 

Studio workshop: Photoshop colour invitation

 

I have developed the Photoshop colour version of the invitation. Like the black and white version I used the five landmark illustrations with the invitation text being on the bottom and the address being on the bottom. For this invitation I placed the landmarks together as a collage to make the colour invitation visual more interesting  placing them so they are all visible and connect well together in terms of height, and layout. 

 

I included a light blue background which I believe works with the overall colour pallet, and the background not just being white with the colours standing out to much. The colours used designed to fit together adding more of a interesting effect to the invitation.

 

I now intend to develop a gouache version of an invitation. The landmarks and fonts being coloured using a gouache paint medium which is completely new to me. The paint version will be coloured similar to the Photoshop version. 

Studio workshop: Photoshop colour lettering fonts

 

This is the Photoshop coloured font which I will use for my Photoshop colour invitation. The fonts have bee coloured using a colour copied from one of the Photoshop coloured landmarks. I wanted to use a colour similar to some of the landmarks so the text and image within the invitation will have a better connection.

 

I now will produce the Photoshop colour version of the invitation.

 

 

Studio workshop: Photoshop colour landmark illustrations

 

 

I have developed coloured versions of my landmark illustrations using the colour filter on Photoshop. The idea is to experiment with colour format and layering with colour before I develop a invitation for The Museum of London using a new medium.

  

I used colours similar to the colour pallet the landmarks are in real life making it easier for people to relate the landmarks and the overall theme of London.

 

I intend to develop Photoshop colour versions of the font which I will then place with the London landmarks on the colour invitation. 

Studio workshop: black and white invitation

 

Here I have put together the black and white version of the invitation. The landmarks are spread out across the page presenting London. The invite font has been placed at the top with the address at the bottom, and the date and time being under the invite font. The black and white invitation was designed to give me an visual idea of how the landmarks and lettering fonts would have look together on an invitation before I developed a colour version.

 

I will begin the development of a colour invitation using Photoshop to layout the fonts, and landmarks together using a different layout for the landmarks.

Studio workshop: invitation fonts

 

I have developed my own letter fonts which I will use as part of my invitations alongside my landmark illustrations. The invitation needing to include an invitation lettering format including the address of the place, the date, and time for the date.

 

I will now begin developing a black and white version of an invitation, which will then be developed into a colour invitation.

Studio workshop: I've Never Seen Star Wars/ Take Yourself on a Date, landmark illustrations

 

For this project I was tasked with visiting a place I'd never been to before. I decided to visit The Museum of London as the idea of visiting a museum which had little to do with any art form and move to do with the history and structure of a place was also completely new to me, putting me out of my comfort zone.

 

I was also tasked to develop a invitation for myself in a medium I never used before to explore new techniques and processes which were new to me, pushing myself to learn to work with a new medium. The invitation was to be completed before the museum visit. The invitation designed to present my ideas of the place and how it might be presented before I went to document my experience, which were change my views and ideas of the museum.

 

For the invitation I decided to illustrate a number of London landmarks including Tower Bridge, Big Ben, The London Eye, The Gherkin and The Shard, due to the museum being about London and the landmarks are the first thoughts I developed when picturing London. Also the museum could have an exhibition about the landmarks, architecture, and structure within London's history. The landmarks chosen to be part of the invitation were the one's I believed best represented globally and would best represent the change in structure within London's history and would fit well together as a set of images.
