Magazine Article/ Music Write up Final


The idea process for my magazine article was to go for
a music writeup spread. As i'm a singer/songwriter myself
I thought why not use that to my advantage. Taking inspiration
from magazines such as Hot Press, Q Mag, Mojo Mag and 
Rolling stones Mag I really enjoyed the process
of my magazine article, i'm happy with the outcome..
I still think there's  room for improvement, but for now. I'm all chuffed with it ...
Hoooraaaayyy



A few more development ideas:

More Posters for 4

This idea for me was kind of a quirky one,
As you can see in the picture below, I sketched up a few of these ideas
with pencil,  using black pen marker to highlight the image further.
I think the approach was to be very modern but yet very creative.
As you can see the girl is wearing a school uniform, in the
background you ve got the alphabet and maths symbols and numbersand also
school gadgets.

This was my second attempt at the image.

Making it more computer generate with letters & numbers.

Here I messed around with different media, after manipulating my picture
on photoshop I then printed out my picture and started to colleage and use
markers/coloured pencils etc.


I then transferred the picture into photoshop, and manipulated 
the picture a few times







In this picture below i used illustrator for the mark making and for 
designing the hair, then i used photoshop/ using the saturation to channel different colour's.






I quite liked this 3rd picture, i used Gradient Map
in photoshop.

Started using  different styles of type, this 
what goes well with this style of poster.


I then decided to transfer the picture into 
illustrator, for the type. I thought this type looked well with the picture
as well as the background colour.

Poster For Tomorrow..3

Now that Ive got final ideas for " Poster For Tommorow" brief,
I feel there is still alot of room for development and improvement.
During class presentation last week I got some feeback on my work, which has giving me new ideas
on how I will approach it next, and which direction I should take my posters

This original image I designed is very childlike and soft,
Its almost like a chidlrens fantasy story book, so I thought why not try it out in
this style.



More development on my second poster:




I quite liked the use of the lens flare, I thought
that added a nice effect.

Development On 2nd Poster

:
Started off with sketching up a few ideas, using mixed media: colours markers and paints to
give my desired effect. The idea I decided on was, simply children making there way to
school along this colourful path.

I tried messing around with different affects, adjusting the colour nd exposure,
You can also see I added in blacked spiral stems/crop thingys .It looks as though these children are coming from the darkness of poverty and slavery into the bright colourful path of hope education and
a brighter future, this is the image i'm looking to portray.

3rd image i manipulated, messed around with the colour and exposure aswell


I decided that the dark spiral stems were drainning the image
and I really wanted a nice childlike image with soft colours, something that would be
easy on the eye, so I decided to go with this image below.

My final POSTERS
Ive decided to upload both as I could not decide which one
I prefer, I'm really happy with my final result, I feel I have achieved the outcome
that I imagined. Although I do believe they could be developed further.

Development on Poster Design



During my development on poster design I tried out a few different ideas,
I drew up some sketches of ideas that I could use for my final poster. Heres a few
Examples for poster A:

I really want to take a modern approach for this
Poster Design, simply drawing it up with black marker firstly.
I think the idea behind this was the Tree of Life, the roots of the tree for me
represent the foundations of the world,how we grow together .The Tree of Life  indicates all walks of life connecting  together in   harmony . Also the Dove to me represents, freedom peace also cultural, I think this is a nice touch .


 This 2nd draft , I tried different background colours,
This was just to give me and insight of how I could bring this tree to life

Messing around with Second draft in Photoshop:
Manipulating the image, messing around with colour etc.:
