For this project I am to produce 4 post cards based on the collected work form over the summer.
The first post card is to be a full colour image, photograph or illustration. The second is to be a 1 colour pictogram representing an activity. The 3rd is a 2 colour logo and finally a 3 colour plus tints vector word.
Some of the development work...
This full colour photograph starts the set of postcards because it relates to the other three.
This picture gram is fairly self explanatory. The blue is a swatch taken from the boats in the photograph above. I might develop it further by drawing strips to the shirt to make the man more distinctive. Also draw the boat again using a different curve tool.
After drawing a range of different Logos I have developed this one. The logo is not supposed to be at an angle (that's the scanners fault). I like the idea however I need to change the type font or maybe decied to not use type at all.
This is a 2 colour (plus tints) type print. The font is based on the "gondola" boats in Venice italian word "gondole". I chose the green colour to make it look slimy and decaying. The background colour is taken from the buildings in the 'full colour photograph' (above). From this colour i produced 2 tints.
I intend to develop all these postcards further and will post the finished ones up later.
