Task:
Create a set of four postcards based on different cities, which are 140x210mm each, portrait or landscape and unite the cities under one, not clichéd, theme. All must be created using illustrator.
This project is really exciting right now, as I have been looking forward to using illustrator, and I am interested to see how my work will transfer into vector based imagery.
My initial ideas for this project are:
Shoes
Flowers
Inventions
Exports
Baked goods
Fairs and festivals
Biscuits
Cheeses
Wetherspoons carpets
Wine
However, I think the more regional things might be difficult to pin down to a city, and I need to ensure that the stimuli are different enough to offer interesting and varying outcomes.
TASK:
Aims
To simplify a given stimulus to the most basic shape possible using just one colour. The object I got given was 'crab claw'
Intent
I wanted to keep the classic crab claw shape whilst using very simple, large shapes so that it was still easily recognised.
Evaluation
I think I was fairly successful in depicting the object in a simplified manner, but after seeing the work of my peers I feel I could have been more creative and symbolic with the final outcome. However I really gained from this exercise as I was able to see how complex shapes can be simplified easily, which is directly lined to this project.
