Assignment 1: Part III--The Final Product.


As of the last post, I have chosen four thumbnails to develop further. In this final post, I will further develop two of the designs, and attempt to bring it to life by adding colours.



From the Music. category, I've chosen to combine some of the elements in both thumbnails, and apply some suggestions give by the class.


This is an improved hand-drawn draft.

ONE. I've included the inverted treble cleft, and the dot for the "i" from the first thumbnail, and incorporated them into the concept of the second thumbnail.
TWO. I've adopted the suggestions of using the black keys of the piano for the "E".



And now, the next step is to add colours.
I had quite a hard time thinking about the colour scheme. It should be bright and cheery, so as to show that i LOVE music. Yet I've always been conceptualising it as a black and white image.


And then one idea came to me, which is to use bright neon-like colours and spotlights to give a "funky jazz bar" or "pop concert" kind of feeling.

So, here is my final product.

The font I chose gives a strong-headed feeling, with a punkish touch.




Next being the Migraine. category.

Here is an improved final draft.

ONE. I've applied the suggestion to include lightnings, to create a greater sense of pain.
TWO. Also, to make that pain more ingrained, I've added some cracks. Ouch.



Colours!!

Colours for this is comparatively easier to come up with.
ONE. Black for a sense of darkness, and is provides contrast for the brain.
TWO. Yellow for lightnings, and red to represent tension and pain.
THREE. The font that I chose is of a slight zigzag, giving a further sense of unstability. It looks handwritten for sincerity and truthfulness.




Having done this final part of the assignment, I realise the importance of colours, and how colours really bring plain sketches to life. Every colour bring along with it its own connotations, and we need to learn how to make use of these colours.


As usual, pls do leave comments. =D
