Paige Maddox- Co-Creation 1

 I have had a Letterpress session where I've learnt about the process and history. I was able to make my own sentence and print it onto A6 piece of card.  I thought that this session was useful because I was able to try using the process to make my own print. Therefore, I was able to learn about how the process works and its important key elements. I have now produced another example of experimentation that I could go back to using in future sessions. 

 I've put together all of my illustrations and text to create a piece of work that is about me and my illustrations. I've enjoyed working on this piece because I've been able to think about how to present myself as an illustrator through words and images.  I would like to develop the text as I think I could have chosen a better font or I could make my own hand-written font. 

I have now developed my creative self piece by scanning my illustrations into Photoshop. On Photoshop, I've applied colour to my illustrations. I like the colour scheme that I used as I've made my own limited palette. Also, the colour scheme is effective as it will not distract viewers away from text.  To develop this piece of work even further, I'm now going to add my bio.  

This is the final outcome to my third poster design. After experimenting with different colour schemes, I chose to stick with the red. I think that this colour scheme is the most eye-catching and the colour red is a warning colour that is effective too it will be eye-catching to viewers. I kept the background white behind the foundation pattern so that it would not become a distraction as the main illustration is more important.  With this poster, I have continued to contain text that explains the issues within animal testing and why and how guinea pigs are tested. For this mock-up campaign poster, I've added a sign up area where viewers can use the link to sign a petition to help. All of the posters are a set for the campaign, PeTA.  The facts displayed on all of my posters link back to the research that I've done on the PeTA website.  Based on the design, I think that it's effective because there are bold illustrations and limited colour palettes. The area that needs to...

I have used my foundation and sponge illustration and made it into a pattern.  After applying colour to the illustrations on Photoshop, I brought the design onto Illustrator.  I like how this piece turned out as the pattern design is not too complicated and clustered together. The colour scheme works well together too. To improve this piece of work, I need to try different colour schemes behind the pattern to see what colours do and don't work with this design.
