Editorial Project: Tutorial Preparation

-

I was asked to complete the following questions in relation to my current Editorial project and the movie, Testuo: Iron Man
  • Please give a recap on your chosen film, research and proposed outputs

The film I have chosen to work on is Tetsuo: Iron man and I am aiming to create 2 spot illustrations and a main cover. I am aiming to create one large spot illustration which will frame the page.

  • What is going well?

I really like the concept I have developed, especially for my 2 page spread of having the iconic use of wiring to frame certain areas of the page. I feel this will make my design unique and appropriate for the movie it is aiming to convey. I love how I used first-hand reference imagery to create the pose of my front cover’s character as it provided me with so much more freedom to control and reposition the actor so I could achieve exactly the pose I needed.

  • What has been problematic with your projects?

Obtaining the correct positioning and style for my cover design, I am also worried about the completion of my location illustration as I’m unsure whether I will be able to complete it in time.

  • What are your targets for the next 3 weeks?

To complete my front cover design to a quality I am happy with, complete my location illustration design, development and creation. Work on the composition of my 2 page layout.

  • Have you been regularly posting to your blog?

No, unfortunately I have not been posting as often as I should to my blog currently but I intend to improve on this moving forward once my fractured hand heals and I am able to focus on multiple tasks at once again.

  • Are you keeping on top of issued tasks?

Yes, although I am having some difficulty keeping on top of my blog

  • Do you have sufficient R&D to support your project and clarify your intentions?

Yes, I have worked super hard on ensuring all of my alterations; processes and research are all sufficiently up to date and will continue working on my alterations and development until I am happy with my final illustration

  • Do you have any areas of your projects that you need further support with in terms of theory and practical?

No

  • What is your target grade for this module?

I am hoping to achieve a 70+ for this module

Character Design and SMART Targets: Illustration Attempt Two

-
Image
Firstly,  I am so much more impressed with the visuals of this design; it feels so much more appropriate for the chosen target audience yet remains visually pleasing to all ages. I am so glad I returned to the initial phases and removed the harsh black outlining on my design, I feel even just making this alteration alone greatly enhanced my illustration by making it much less harsh and more realistic to the eye. However, once I had removed the outlines from around my wall and floor I noticed the separation of the areas became unclear and flat. Due to this I decided to add a skirting board around the bottom of the wall as this is not only a common design feature so will remain recognisable, but also forced the two areas to stand out due to the heavily contrasting border. One of the other major elements which needed to be altered was the couch in the centre of the living room. I previously hated the appearance of this asset so I decided to remove all of the detailing so that I could ...

SMART Target: 3D Visualisation: Crab Noodle Box

-
Image
Following the completion of my first two concepts, whilst taking a break from artist research, I wanted to experiment with an entirely different creature. The new theme I have chosen to explore is that of molluscs and crustaceans. The first creature I have decided to create was the crab flavoured noodles. I really like how I have extended the design of this creature to have a more visible body as I feel it makes for a highly interesting design having all of the claws in view. I made sure to use reference material of both real life and cartoon style crabs to help inspire my design and help me form the correct anatomy for my crab. I really like how this design extends to the entire dimension of the box. However, once I managed to print out my design in order to check its functionality I found that due to the curved features the sides did not match up correctly and caused the design to be rather displeasing. Due to this I will explore the creation of this character in a square for...

Weekly Reflection: Life Drawing - Session 2

-
This session was much more relaxed, due to the people I was surrounded by and the calming music that was being played in the room. It really helped being given tasks which were aimed towards creating a humorous result rather than something which was meant to be more realistic. I found that by taking a less serious approach my drawings seemed to greatly improve. I also really enjoyed using the variety of non-conventional mediums such as oil pastels and transfer paper as I feel these mediums helped me focus more on the form, yet I did not have to be 100% accurate as for instance the oil pastels are quite broad whereas you cannot see what you have drawn at all underneath the transfer paper until you remove it. I really enjoyed this session until it came to drawing in very short time periods like 1 second, where I noticed my anxiety sky rocketed again and I became closed off due to the serious tone the class took on again.
