Illustration. Week one.

Week one of viscom was working with illustrations. We were all given a word and I got the word 'CULTIVATE'.

• Cultivate means to prepare the soil for growing crops.
• To grow an interest in a relationship or hobby.
• To grow ideas, education and skill.

I spent all last week investigating these definitions with thumbnail sketches. 

 

Then for Friday we had to pick two illustrations and with Patricia's advice I choose the idea of a leaf with the veins forming little illustrations within the leaf. 

However my second illustration is going to be used in my final assessment on the second Friday and so I'm working on it, improving on fine detail.

Graphic desingers

Drew Flaherty

An Australian designer.
His work really interests me because he draws over images to create a busy scene. His images don't make sense but are visually attractive. Compostion is a key area in his designs.

 



Jasper Goodall
An English illustrator. His work is often found in music, fashion and advertising, he also pruduces prints.
I really like theese images because the colour used is really eye cathing and transparent, a sense of fantasy is a part of it. The images are simple and have simple perspective.

 

Jeremyville

A grapic designer/autho. He has worked with Converse shoes and has released toys to do with his designs.

I love his work because its so poppy and childish. I love his cartoon style with block colours. The images are flat and very busy.

 

My animation!

Here's my little animation about a kitty, penguin and a UFO! Enjoy :)
