All my designs have been redrawn and upscaled to A3. I stuck them all down on my design boards in a style that matches my unit and i am very pleased with how they look. This work can now go with my press release and into my portfolio.
since i last developed my designs and faces the next step was to develop media to my designs. here you can see my 6 designs with 3 different types of media… watercolour, acrylic paint and promarker pens. I found these all worked really well for me and i feel confident that this is my best work for my final design boards.
from designing, it’s important to think about the next step…faces. i got some inspiration from unknown artists on Pinterest then re drew them. After re drawing i found my favourite ones and then i could merge them together. As you can see i finished and chose my finale face. this is ready to be used on my design boards.
here you can see my completed 12 designs…the next step from this is to develop into 6 of these designs. the 6 i choose to develop will be my final 6 that will appear on my design boards and then go into my portfolio!
for my collection this year i need to create 12 designs, these designs need to relate to the british seaside (the topic) and my chosen diversity (race). i have decided to focus more on the political side of race as it has a huge contrast to the british sea side. this is showing how innocent the world can be compared to the real problems of the world.
