Recreating a Magazine Cover

For this exercise we had to use our castle picture and make it into a magazine cover. This is the picture of the magazine we used for headings, etc (they had to be exact!!)...


and this is my finished piece...


Here is my own magazine design, using my castle picture which had been edited yet again.

just playing around..

just a little something i whipped up in illustrator, practicing with the pen tool and colour swatches from kuler (loving that site!!!)

Harmony

For this exercise we had to recreate a picture luke put on his site using a different, but still harmonious, colour scheme; and in our own style.




**...after a bit of editing...**


**...after more editing, my final piece. the castle and clouds looks less 2d than before...**

detail thingy

we looked at a picture and had to recreate something similar using our blobs we painted. this was kind of difficult thinking of a theme for it...anyways.. heres the end product :-)

minimum shape to show words

car, sydney harbour bridge, chair, grand piano, baby, guitar, gun

Pattern work

this is my hand drawn pattern, the pattern is different from the ones done in illustrator because i decided to change it so it can be changed around easier.


we had to draw a 1cm squareish size pattern and then repeat it to make another element then repeat that..etc. with my digital version i done one line of one pattern, then made a pattern using 4 of the squares, done a line of that, then each line after that was the square with an added outside 'layer' of the pattern.
here is another digital one..

Minimalist exercise

We had to make advertisments in a minimalism art movement style. At first i found this task a bit hard but i think i worked it out in the end. i found this exercise made me think most about the size of the elements and where to position them. I just hope i done it right...

Story with childrens characters

My story, 'Meet the Lollykins' is a simple story aimed at 3 to 5 year olds. The Lollykins are a group of Kindergarten age children (age 4-5) made of lollies. Their dog is made of a carrot- just to throw a healthy spin on the story. The story relates to real life occurrences and emotions in the target audience's life- for example- the routine of going to school, playing, then having tea, bath then bed; and feeling sad when someone you are close to is away for a few hours.

I kept the design of the spreads basic, brightly coloured and relative to each other. I used the same style throughout- everything has a bold black outline (which for a childrens character is good in a marketing sense- eg. colour-in books) and the colours arent confusing (the grass is green, the sky is blue, bricks are brown, etc). I used a sans serif font and large text because it is easy to read. The dimensions are 240mm wide by 300mm high for each page, and 480mm wide by 300mm high for each spread. *after getting the assessment sheet, the size had been changed to A4 for one page, A3 each spread, so i have changed the illustrations to suit this *


MEET THE LOLLYKINS

This is Candy, she is always happy.
This is Fred, he likes to jump around.
This is Na-Na, she likes to dance.
This is Snakey, he likes to play sports.
This is Carrot-Dog, he belongs to Snakey.
Candy, Fred, Na-Na, Snakey and Carrot-Dog live in Lollyville.
Candy, Fred, Na-Na and Snakey are in Kindergarten at Lollyville School.
Carrot-Dog feels sad when Snakey and the Gang are at School.
But after school, all the Lollykins play at the park.
Candy and Fred play hopscotch.
Na-Na dances to her music.
Snakey and Carrot-Dog play with a frizbee.
The Lollykins like to play together and have fun.
Then they all go home and eat their tea.
After a bath, its time for bed.
The Lollykins have had a busy day!

Childrens Characters

We were asked to come up with five characters that would appeal to young children. These are the characters i came up with, they are mainly based on lollies (which pretty much all young kids like), except for the dog. First i done rough sketches of the characters, then drew them again bigger and coloured them in. After taking photos of the drawings i put them into Illustrator and using the pen tool and live paint i got these images.
