Final print out
For my final print, the printer was very strange with the black for the background and I trialled this many times and tried two different printers but this didn't change the outcome so I just decided to leave it as it is. I am not very happy that this is the final outcome as the streakiness wasn't what I wanted but there was nothing I could do about this.
The colour aspects of the print did turn out pretty well and it is still obvious that I drew the object which was my aim.

Final second Poster
I think this works well as I like the reflection and then white type works well even against the grey skull in the background

Background and final for second page
I reflected the initial skull that i drew and filled in the blank spaces and also added my last name. I also brought down the opacity so it wasn't polarising for the white type that I am doing.
The type face that I am using is Owners Regular. I think this works well as it isn't too fancy and legable while reading.

Final Poster Design
I decided to invert the final design as I thought having the white background was too polarising and that the skull would stand out more if it were white on black . I also wanted to write my name smaller so I thought writing it on the skull was like a another scrape on the skull.

New artists/agencies
Rolf Harder
Here are some prints that I looked at that Harder has created with Lithograph prints.
Lithography prints are a planographic printmaking process in which a design is drawn onto a flat stone (or prepared metal plate, usually zinc or aluminium) and affixed by means of a chemical reaction.
He touches on alcoholism, mental health and drug use in these two prints specifically
Bronisław Zelek
Bronislaw Zelek was a Polish poster designer, typeface designer, and painter. At the very beginning of his career, he worked as a poster designer.
Milk design agency.
These are two design systems that Milk has worked on that I have drawn inspiration from. MAJOR MAJOR and Déjà.

Inspiration for poster
I have been planning to display my artefacts in a sort of version of a cabinet of curiosities. I wanted to bring in my love for anatomy but at the moment I am unsure how I am going to do this.
I went around and did some research on what I could use as inspiration and these are some that I have come up with

My first 10 Objects
Keith Haring Poster
Significance - graphical posters have always been one of my favourite parts of art and design, specifically creating distorted pieces that make people stop and think.
New thinking/connections - when having 2D art or design the need to create movement amplifies the final outcome as it becomes more eye-catching and creates more dimension to the space.
Pov/opinion - shows others my taste in art and where my love for distortion comes from.
Visual elements - Abstract style that uses a lot of positive and negative spacing. As there is lots going on it makes it a busy design but it isn't overcrowded due to the designs being done in line work.
Qualities - Canvas print, with slightly frayed edges due to wear and tear
Technical components + processes - Screen Print onto canvas
Context - The connection to American artists whose pop art emerged from the New York City graffiti subculture of the 1980s.The mass production of famous art pieces that everyday people could never afford which they can now appreciate in their own homes.
Relationships to work - I love working with distortion and how it creates different effects depending on how you design and style each piece.
Plastic Hand
Significance - My love for anatomy and having figures that I am able to draw. When I was younger both my parents worked in hospitals and that meant that I grew up loving and wanting to look through their old medical books and see the graphical drawings.
New thinking/connections - Having a physical object to draw from and to be able to rotate to get the right angles makes all the difference when trying to understand anatomy.
Pov/opinion - Shows how I started to learn and understand the anatomy of a hand which helped with my drawing skills
Visual elements - Solid Transparent plastic hand
Qualities - Melted plastic poured into a mould was probably how it was made.
Technical components + processes - Moulded plastic
Context - This was the physical model of what I would see in the medical books other than the part that it is transparent but it made me understand the muscles and shapes that were made to create the hand.
Relationships to work - I love being able to see the exact proportions of shapes and designs so that I am able to understand and replicate the shape for other designs.
Noah Kahan Tote Bag
Significance - It shows my taste in music (Noah Kahan is an artist) and my support for one of my favourite artists. His abstract designs are simplistic yet eye-catching.
New thinking/connections - when an artist has merch it should be obvious to its fans where the design comes from and where the inspiration comes from. specifically which album it comes from and that it fits the tone of the album it represents
Pov/opinion - it shows my taste in music and the genre I like to listen to.
Visual elements - Simplistic design that consists of line work that has been screen printed onto a canvas tote bag.
Qualities - Design that has been screen printed onto a tote bag.
Technical components + processes - Screen Print onto canvas
Context - This represents my love for Noah Kahan's music and the simplistic designs that he has through out his merch. The line work is a very common denominator which brings all the merch together as a collective.
Relationships to work - I love this tote bag a lot as it is very high quality and it supports one of my favourite artists.
Apple AirPods
Significance - It isnt specifically something creative but I find that when I am working I use my airpods to listen to music or watch movies and that they are very important part of my creative process
New thinking/connections - Not directly connected to everything else that I have but they have a big impact on how much and the quality of work I do as I find that when I am working with music I gain more inspiration.
Pov/opinion - I think it shows that I am influenced by lots of different things when it comes to audio cues.
Visual elements - they are very simplistic and sleak, technology. They have been scratched up a bit due to the amount of use they get.
Qualities - smooth and modern
Technical components + processes - They have been put together in a factory by machines
Context - They are very techie, contemporary and modern
Relationships to work - A must for everyday life especially when doing Uni work.
American Psycho (book cover)
Significance - Marshall Arisman an illustrator who did the cover of American Psycho creates distorted abstract pieces that I get inspiration from.
New thinking/connections - I think that distortion should be specific to a genre and aesthetic, specifically when talking about horror or something gruesome or hard to talk about.
Pov/opinion - this book shows my taste in books and also my aesthetic when it comes to art/ illustrations.
Visual elements - The mix of colours creates a complementary yet contrasting composition that works well to emphasise the distortion
Qualities - structure and shapes create and help the abstract style of the piece
Technical components + processes - painted then scanned for mass production of books
Context - One of my favourite books as it is very grim but very interesting. I also like the drawing and the line work that is very sketchy and I would like to try this style more.
Relationships to work - This style is what I aim for but I find that I am too much of a perfectionist to be able to do so I want to try and explore this style more.
6. Oil Painting Done by Myself
Significance - This is one of the first distorted oil paintings that I have ever done and it is one that I am very proud of too. This is what made me love using oil paint.
New thinking/connections - I found that for a distortion piece that using stronger colour helps and emphasises the distortion and abstraction, also when not all the details are accurate it ends up with a higher level of distortion.
Pov/opinion - Personally this piece shows the beginning of my development of oil painting skills and it helped with my colour theory too.
Visual elements - the contrast of colouring helps with the distortion and the texture created by the oil paint gives it more dimensions
Qualities - the movement created by the paint strokes helps show the stretching movement
Technical components + processes - Oil paint on acrylic card.
Context - I wanted to create a piece that I had seen on Pinterest and use my own colouring to an extent to help with my colour theory and it helped a lot with the work after that.
Relationships to work - this is one of my favourite pieces as it is the beginning of my love for oil paint
7. Chromatopia Book
Significance - This book that I was given as a gift from my parents when I was younger helped me understand the concept and advancement of colour theory. This made my love for colour even stronger.
New thinking/connections -This book showed me and taught me to understand how each of the colours originally came to be and the historical context behind them which I find helps with creating deeper meanings behind my designs.
Pov/opinion - This book has taught me many things but the actual design of it and the page layout I think is inspirational.
Visual elements - Clean minimalistic style that works well to create an factual yet visually interesting book
Qualities - Hard cover book with glossy pages
Technical components + processes - Printed book
Context - A book that shows the history behind colour and how they became to be
Relationships to work - I cherish this book as it is one of my first art/design books in my collection.
8. Jungle Jade Butterfly
Significance - This piece was the start of my love for butterflies and my fixation of drawing all the different types and figuring out the anatomy
New thinking/connections -By using an actual item you can learn to draw the actual proportions of an object and then carry through those skills to just a photo
Pov/opinion - This shows how far my art/design has come as it used to be about perfection and crispness where as now I find it is more about having a deeper meaning.
Visual elements - Taxidermy butterfly, brilliant blue and fluecent green highlights.
Qualities - Bright colours that stand out against the black and the whites.
Technical components + processes - Taxidermy
Context - A gift from my dad when he went over seas many years ago and ever since i have had a fixation with drawing butterflies.
Relationships to work - This has a big place in my heart as it is from my dad and he said it reminded him of me when I was younger. Butterflies have always been a favourite of my from day one.
9. Calligraphy Ink
Significance - I had a massive fixation with calligraphy when I was in highschool and this is when I started to enjoy looking at and creating my own typefaces
New thinking/connections -This ink was a big step up when it came to creating my titles. When using the Caligraphy pen too it looked amazing after a little practice
Pov/opinion - Using ink instead of freehanding it was a lot harder and time consuming but the final outcome was worth it as it looked very professional.
Visual elements - The actual outcome of the ink left a shiny red tone on the paper and in the right light a little gold would come through.
Qualities - Shiny redish ink that would dry darker but when spread around looked very pink
Technical components + processes - Calligraphy ink, used on a calligraphy pen and calligraphy paper and or water colour paper.
Context - I took a course that taught me how to create calligraphy and it came with a bottle of ink to get you started and it has lasted me a long time.
Relationships to work - It has helped me create many different typefaces and it has brought a lot of joy into creating them as it is not just the basic black ink.
10. Collection of pens/ pencils and other drawing tools
Significance - Everything in this makeshift pencil jar I have been using for over 4 years and they have all helped create one or more of my drawings or designs.
New thinking/connections -Having a collection of drawing tools helps create and inspire me for what I can and have done.
Pov/opinion - I think that anyone and everyone should have a small collection of drawing tools that you have access to anytime you have any kind of inspiration.
Visual elements - mixture of colours, use and styles
Qualities - Shiny, wooden, plastic, metal, there is a bit of everything in there
Technical components + processes - A mixture of everything as there is a lot of different elements in there
Context - I have a habit of loosingmy tools so when I was at home I found an old metal can thing and it was perfect for holding my tools so I now put everything in it and don't lose anything.
Relationships to work - Its nothing special really but I cant fault it as it has great use.

My creatives
All these creatives have something that I try to draw my inspiration from. Specifically when I am painting or drawing but I would like to start bringing in some more abstract styles into my digital work so I am able to create a unique point of view when it comes to digital design.

Beginnings of my 20 images
These are the images I have chosen, I will be bringing all of them in person when I am able to collect them when I go home.
I wanted to stay along the lines of distortion and realism but I am unsure how to create a poster out of all these.
Each of these pieces has helped me develop my style and how I like to present my work. It is very important to me that my work makes people think about what they are looking at.

Tutorial 2
We had to share our mood boards with some of our group and we had to give feed back and the images below is the feedback I got.
FIND A DESIGN ARTEFACT FROM THE THREADED MAGAZINES
Where does it come from?
Auckland
Who designed it?
Chris Hutchinson is an Auckland based illustrator and graphic designer
What were the ideas behind
Chris has said that he like to use bright colours with optimistic graphics full of patterns, hand drawn lettering and cheeky characters. I think he wants to create playful pieces that anyone can interact with. Because from what I can tell with image above there is a whole book to go along with it that you could theoretically colour in.
Why does it appeal to me?
This artefact appeals to me because I like how playful it is and how different each of the designs are. The mix of blocking colour and illustrations create a really unique and full aesthetic that is really fun and interesting to look at.
