"produce a set of 4 postcards based on 4 major world cities of your choosing. Your illustrations should aim to effectively communicate the individual identity of each city but at the same time work as a set, series or sequence"Notes:
- Final resolutions need to be digital
- use skills developed in the Adobe Illustrator software workshops
- Consider iconic buildings/traditions that represent the cities of my choosing
- also skylines, buildings, objects and people associated with my cities
- Demonstrate an understanding of frame, format, composition, colour, line, shape
- REMEMBER TO EXPERIMENT! - thumbnails, scamps, colour tests
- I think keeping it, the idea and concept simple would be best for this brief because
- I want to spend more time on visual research - the experimentation/play bit
- not familiar with Adobe Illustrator yet - so not sure how much time I need/easy it would be to make one postcard with lots of details
I am quite excited about this new brief! It will involve me doing quite an extensive breadth of visual research, development and experimentation which was identified in the book module that this was the area that I produced the least work in. Hopefully, from doing this brief I will be able to improve my skill within this area and to finally apply the knowledge I've gained about composition and thumbnailing from the recent visual language class to this brief successfully.
Below are just some of the cities that I'm quite interested in illustrating - I have thought about Paris and other popular holiday destinations, but I thought maybe a lot of people would do them and I kinda want to be a little different:
..really need to narrow down my choices
