Week 13:

W13 Lecture :
No more lectures, just progress checks.

Project 4 (Self-Titled) :
Continuing from last week's progress, I first added onto the other side of the theme which was clouds, music notes and grass. I also gave the music note colour around it for that pop style effect. I also alter a bit from the sketch by replacing the buildings into cloud. This creates a more asymmetrical artwork but still having a balanced composition.

Elements used :

 

fig 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, Elements Chosen (24/12/2023)

fig 1.6, Adding Cloud (24/12/2023)

 

fig 1.7, Adding Music Notes (24/12/2023)
 

 

I then added my text I designed in typography. This part was probably the hardest part since I hadn't plan it out. Luckily in that 11 letters I created, I could add a simple phrase that adds a narrative to my artwork, and that is "Into the Sides". This has about the same meaning of "Zones Of Life" but since the artwork could be seen in 2 sides, it was perfect to show the meaning. I also gave it a simple 3D effect with colour which makes it more attractive to look it!

The final part of the artwork would be adding simple "S" shaped strokes around it. For this part, I switched back to Illustrator as I was more used to creating Illustrative elements there.

Another reason I used Illustrator was to create this vaporwave corner border which makes part of the composition look less empty.

Reflection :

I struggled making/deciding on what phrase I wanted to add to the artwork. It just goes to show how important planning is and if I would have planned that earlier, I would have had less of a struggle with that. Nevertheless this part has thought me to definitely plan ahead about every little things even if it doesn't seem important. Other than that, I had a fun time integrating things I learned through Photoshop and Illustrator to create my artwork!
