What was wrong?
- I was struggling to decide on what kind of 'style' to use across my designs
- I wasn't sure about the content of my images- were they showing what I wanted about Yutang
- Need more contextual research- how does my work have grounding?
- Not stepping back and reflecting on my work as I go
How was this resolved?
- Wilf suggested I mix the use of line and shape work, as he thought the hand shapes were quite successful
- The group agreed that the snow globe idea would work well, as it would offer more information and feel of Yutang's work
- Take some time out to look at what work is similar to mine, and how they work on similar problems
- Stick to a timetable and remember to blog about processes and problems as they happen in order to develop
What now?
- Continue to develop different styles of outcomes, regardless of whether they 'link'- they could work independently, or use the same colours to link
- Remember to have fun! You can tell when I've been enjoying the work during production
- Develop third line drawing
- Re work hands more precisely and experiment with fish shapes
COLOUR CHOICES:
- I really want to ensure I get the colours right in this project, so I looked at a lot of different colours that I could use to create a strong third colour print
- I think the brighter colours work better, such as the yellow and blue or pink and blue, rather than the harsh red or purple, as I want my prints to still have a mystical, fun feel
- As inspiration I looked at some artists who overprint to create a third colour
Kim Boyoun:
- I really love Boyoun's bright command of colour, and how it is an unusual twist on the usual colours of screen print
- In addition, I love how she has combined unusual, slightly jarring hues to create a neutral tone which ties them together
Spoon Graphics:
- This is a more traditional colour combination, which has a very clear colour difference
- Also, I like how the blue, which is traditionally a darker colour, is made a lot lighter, and vice versa for the pink, which keeps the traditional combination interesting
Owen Davey:
- Similar to the previous combination, Davey puts his own twists on pink and blue to make an unusual but recognisable colour palette
- I really like how he has put the two colours right next to each other to draw a stark comparison, but I'm not sure how easy this would be to replicate in screen print without an accidental overlap
