IDEAS DEVELOPMENT

i began making all the quotes fit in as one image, so the print would take up the whole page. however this was getting to complicated, so i decided to make a design which would involve all the quotes and work around the concept and quote 'the city has a face'. i looked at inspiration from illustrators such as Steven Harrington, which have an interesting style of character.

he also has a very 60s hippy style which also shows good reference to the style of colours which i am going to use in my print.

QUOTES development

I have four interesting quotes which i have selected from my research:
'the city has a face'
'fish, chips, cup 'o tea, bad food, worse weather, Mary fucking Poppins... LONDON'.
'new york is a diamond ice berg floating on river water'
'America is my country but Paris is my home town'

after researching i decided that i could combine all the quotes into one screen print, i was inspired by designers such as:

all these designers have created interesting compositions with type and image, however even though type is used it is very illustrative and there is little details which are noticable unless you look at the work carefully. this is nice effect as is draws the audience to the work.

QUOTES- BEGINNING IDEAS

I began by looking at different quotes which i could use to inspire my design for the screen print.
after researching, i decided to use the quote 'the city has a face' as the starting point for this brief.
i began with the idea of creating a set of three prints.
so i started designing ideas on how i could create sets for the cities LONDON, NEW YORK and PARIS. as they are three of the most famous cities in the world.

EXISTING PRINT CLUB PRINTS

Here are some prints which i liked from the secret blisters collection. they are all have interesting colour use. i particularly like the top print. as it is a four colour print, however it uses colour overlays to create more colours.

SECRET BLISTERS

TIMETABLE

DESIGN PRACTICE PART2

for the second part of my design practice i have selected three briefs which, will help me develop my understanding and skills in the areas of image making and screen printing. the final products for these briefs will also be used as the main pages in my portfolio. i have chosen three past briefs:

SECRET BLISTERS, which is a screen printing. it asks to produce a screen print, it is a very open brief so i have decided to extend it and make a series of prints. i will spend TWO WEEKS.

ELLESE, this is also a very open brief, it asks to produce a piece of art work to celebrate the 50Th anniversary of the brand, i will create a tactile exhibition piece for this which will develop my crafting skills, on this brief i will spend FOUR WEEKS.

ICA XMAS CARDS, this is a brief which asks to create image for the front of Xmas cards, so i will extend it and create images for sets of cards, which will also include designs for the insides and the envelopes. for this brief i will allow ONE WEEK.
