Applied Illustration- Final Outcomes

Final set of six screen prints:

Rosacea print

- I feel this is my favourite outcome, as it has a dynamic and direct line of sight in the yellow and blue down the composition which draws the eye across the page

- I really like the transparency between the silver and the yellow, which really shows the pigment left by each colour way

- I could have added more blue detail to the pieces to create a stronger link between the four colours

Rosacea print

- I like the flowing yellow over the page, which seems to exist off the page due to it not being constrained by the size of the print

- The overlap of different colours works well to create a multi tonal outcome, but I feel the yellow gets slightly lost behind the darker tones of the silver

Psoriasis print

- By using china marker on the positives I created texture in this piece, which I feel works to link the pink and the yellow, but I should have used it across all the prints, as I feel this separates it from the other four
- The silver elements disappear slightly once scanned in, maybe I should have used foiling, but I didn't have time, which is a shame

Psoriasis print

- I'm not sure about the yellow china marker lines, as I feel it is very different to the other pieces, but then I suppose this highlights the differences between everyones skin

- I like the psoriasis line overlay, as I feel it adds a soft, not too overbearing detail which highlights the beautiful forms in the condition

Vitiligo print

- By using the negative space of the print, I captured the shapes of vitiligo, due to it occurring through no pigment
- I also like the difference between thickness of line in the different layers, as it shows the irregularities between the skins pigments and appearances

Vitiligo print

- I like how I used different, free flowing shapes, including using exclusively the outside form of the flowers, and turning these into shapes which capture their own negative space
- I feel like I could have made the blue lines more fluid across the page and less 'clumpy'

Overall, I'm really happy with the outcome of these pieces, but I feel like if I had more time to work on making the positives, I could have been more accurate to my roughs and feel more natural. This was an important lesson in time management and finding time to use the resources I need
