The final print product of the design.
The illustration portion done in oil pastel and in colored pencil. The goal was to obscure some portions and incorporate photography in other portions.
Biometric Animals
In this assignment, the focus was to display an endangered animal of our choice and conveying a sense of fluidity. In my design, my animal of choice was the endangered red fox. While I wanted the snow leopard to be the domineering factor of the design, I wanted the red panda to be overlooked or controlled by the predator. What worked really well was the sense of form shown by the two animals. What could’ve worked a lot better was the variation of different lines and contrast. Overall, the design feels flat, but there is a sense of movement shown within certain areas.
Project: Illuminated Name (Updated)
Project: Illuminated Name
In this project, the student is supposed to create a design based on their name’s initials. The initial is meant to be surrounded by a design based on the Book of Kells and the Golden Ratio. Overall, I fell as if I’m learning more about watercolor than I already have. Even though I have little to no experience with watercolor, I still felt as if I learned a new way to use watercolor. Using shape, movement, and color is what I hope to capture the viewer throughout my design. I hope to get better at using watercolor in the future.
