Robert Rauschenberg

with this design i like the use of collage and i will consider using this style for a backdrop to aid my final designs

in this design i like the way the bikes are stood up next to each other. this is good because you wouldnt see this on a normal day. it gives the audience intrigue and this is what i aim to do with my final designs.

 in development of my final outcomes i have been looking at alternate ways of showing my final design.

in this alternate i took a look at how the last design was positioned and having a random scatty positioning for the final designs. but in this design i chose to have a more organised positioning of shape and composition. in this design i like how the shape is crowding the design to give the impression of the child being caged inside of her parents abuse. i think that this has a good narrative to it and has a good feel to it.

MY Development of images for final outcomes

initially i went for a more vectored style for my final image using a shadow to communicate the darkness of the father character and the fear of the child character. with finishing this design i have found that the design doesnt work well for my final as it isnt strong enough for a final design. so with reviewing my design and looking at a few artists: magritte, brouqe and other designs i have made new designs looking at shape and shadows, also looking at smoke for the creepy, dark effect.

 this is a thumbnail for my final designs ideas 1st picture. i have been thinking about making the images in a suit fashion using shapes and different shades of colour having the actual image of abuse showing the story. i aim to have alot of narrative in my final pictures (all 5 of them) communicating the different forms of abuse inside of a family. (there is also a Female version of this thumbnail)

 (the female thumbnail same idea)

for this i chose to use shapes. the reason i chose this is because i think that it suits the concept of a dis-functional family which is why they are broken up with different shapes. i think this adds a good dynamic to the design of the ring girl image (view blog to see ring girl vector drawing) i think that the miniture drawings in the rest of the designs have been good to communicate the story. which prompted the idea of having an infographic/editorial design as my final piece for FMP. (more research will support this)

this is the same image (look above) put into photoshop. i like the different opacities of the images to give the whole design more depth i think that this is a good addition to the final design.  and i will add this technique to all of my designs.

this is the image that inspired me to add shape to my design.

 this is an image by magritte which has a sense of surrealism which is what i will be looking at with my final images to go inside my large image. i like how it relates to my final design with the way the cloth represents the hair and the cage represents the torso. maybe showing that this character feels that he is trapped, which is good narrative. i aim to have good narrative in my final design.

with the use of humans i aim to have real images/shapes with the surrealist element in it. i think that it will show the childs mindstate alot better in the final design. the aim is to have narritive with all of the designs in the final.

in this design i like the use of shape it give the design a texture. with this i think that i will look at adding texture to my designs.

with this design by man ray i have been looking at the ambiance i and how the design makes me feel when i look at it. i think that this is a very dark emotional design having a naked woman in the dark shows this.

1st Drawing For Abuse (A5) these are the images that will be underneath the main characters hair. which will be removed to reveal her take on abuse

in this image i have been looking at how abuse has haunted the child visually. seeing the father being abusive to the mother in the design i have the father raising his hand as if he is going to beat the mother. this is good as it communicates the design well and the audience already knows what will happen next (the mother being hit of course)

in this design i took pictures at my uncles BBQ/Bonfire to get this smoke effect. i added the image (above) to the design and layered it and removed elements of the smokey background/foreground to give the foggy/smokey effect. i made the image a lot thicker by duplicating the layers of the smoke with elements removed.

(image of smokey design)

i just duplicated the layers a few more times to get rid of the bottom line.

MY FINAL MAC'D UP DESIGN

for my final design i am looking at 'samara' a character from the ring. i have chosen this character because of the story she has in the movie. her story inspired my final piece.

 this is the mac'd up design of my final. with this i will have a blown up lifesize model with the movable hair that will be able to reveal the history of the abuse in A5 pictures.

interactive street art

in this image i am looking at how the artist took a real life inanimate object and made it interact with the illustration. which is what i aim to achieve in my final design. except i will be having the audience interact with the design rather than having the illustration 'only' interact with the real object.

 again this design is representing looking at how the illustration communicates with real life which is what i aim to achieve.

Nathan Jurevicius

in this design i like how it looks like what would be created in a childs mind, which is the effect i am looking at in my final designs the use of colour and how it has been illustrated is what i will be looking at in my final design.

this is a good example of the idea i have. as the thought bubble is representing what is in the characters head. i am trying to communicate abuse through the childs mind.

Petra Štefanková

in my final design i will be looking at a lot of different styles of vector art. i have been very interested in the work of Petra Štefanková because of her intentional child-like approach to the design. this is important to my final outcomes because i will be looking at abuse from a child perspective. so some child-like designs will help for my final designs.

some sketches that Petra Štefanková has done. i like the surreal look these designs have.

again the surreal look to the design is what i am looking for in my final designs

i like the use of shape in this design and the colour is also very good. it gives off the illustration aspect of the design.

Shadow art

The shadow art of Kumi Yamashita is simply spectacular! In the example above, the artist uses a piece of aluminum attached to a wall, light hits the object to form a shadow of two people. What? It is crazy like that.The shadow art of Kumi Yamashita is simply spectacular! In the example above, the artist uses a piece of aluminum attached to a wall, light hits the object to form a shadow of two people.

Floris Neususs - shadow catchers: looking at this design i have been looking at the positioning and how i cud include this in my final designs. 

in this image i have been looking at the amount of detail and the foggy effect it has, which is what i will be using in my final designs using smoke.
