Experiments

Silhouette ExperimentsI had got some successful photographs for primary images but

didn’t know what to use them for. An example is my tree photograph. I felt it was a really strong image and needed to be

used in the right context.I began experimenting with the photograph and ended up

getting a silhouette effect. By me adding other primary images to this illustration it makes

the composition busier and interesting. Although, I feel this composition lacks something. It doesn’t have depth to it nor

does it illustrate a point.Also, although the black and white tones bring good contrast, I feel maybe it is too bland for the composition and would like to

try adding colour.

I have added colour to my illustration. The orange colour compliments the black silhouette outline and also brings warmth. The orange colour reminds me of a sunset as sometimes when you look into the sky your eyes can only

focus on the outline of objects. The orange background was also influenced by a primary photo I took of the

sky one day. I took this photo of the sky as I noticed it was a weird colour.

I personally thought the previous illustration lacked depth. By adding the sun in the background it adds

depth and converts it from a flat illustration. The green and orange colour tones compliment each other well

with back silhouettes in the foreground.

I was experimenting with Photoshop’s Halftone Pattern effect. It creates an old style newspaper look. I feel these outcomes look

very old style and vintage.These illustrations show my feelings towards pigeons (hence the dead one). It shows pigeons acting as humans and being human

size. This will in fact be my worst nightmare. The dull colours reflect my mood as they are not happy and mood enhancing. The composition is central as the elements are placed in the

center.To improve this illustration I feel the background should be

central as well as the foreground elements.

Pattern

Here I have developed my illustration by rotating the image and expanding it. The composition is balanced now as everything is mirrored.The style of this illustration reminds me of Andy Potts as he uses rough lines and bold elements in his work.
