Final Project - Visual Analysis

For the final project it is divided in to 3 phrase.First a design of the student's choice of poster / billboard / illustrations or etc had to be chosen. 

In the first phase the design chosen have to be observed and identify the visual elements and describe them and also analyse the design principles of the design.

On the next phase the design based on the observation, analysis and the description

find the historical context and meaning and purpose behind it.

Final Phase is to create an own design in A4 or A3 size inspired by the chosen design.

Design Work inspired by Chosen Artwork

The artwork chosen had used textured brushes and rough lines and looks as if it is painted on canvas rather than digitally painted. Ive searched for brush strokes and explored them to sinf a suitable one to use it for this assignment.  

An illustrator named Imad Awan, draws digital illustrations which have rough brush strokes and appearance that it was drawn by hand on canvas.  he has a youtube channel with tutorials and introductions for textured brush strokes which were very useful for the assignment.

Sampled brush 4 12 was mostly used for this artwork. The illustration did not have much texture nor rough brush strokes intended and did not had the characteristics of the chosen artwork.

Sampled brush 4 12 was mostly used again after drawing simple sketch. 

Fig 3.09

The owl and the mushroom composition were interesting to work with and I have decided to continue with this design more to bring out more characteristics of the chosen artwork. Sampled brush 8 4 was used on top and the background was removed and redrawn using blue hue similar to the chosen artwork.

Fig 3.10

Sampled brush 8 9 had the texture I was looking for and it was able to create the brush strokes which gave the appearance of gouache painting / oil painting. 

Final Outcome

Fig 3.11

Rationale

I have researched how digital artists paints and what brushes that they use an it really helped to understand how much the program works and the tools that could bring out the best illustration. The textured brushes I have found helped a lot to bring out the brush strokes as if it was painted on a canvas with paint. I have tried to follow the design principles present on the chosen artwork such as the elements are alignments of the elements in the middle use of complimentary colors of blue and yellow to create emphasis. The harmony created using strong colors and unity of same textures of brush strokes and the random rhythm of the strokes. Overall I'm happy with the outcome as it contains both of the characteristics of the illustrator and mine, and would plan to use it for future.

Feedback

Design 02 had more potential to proceed as it had more magical visual and potential to tackle with to achieve the same appearance with the artwork chosen. When Fig 3.10 was shown the colors did not match with the artwork chosen and too bright. Fig 3.11 meets the desired texture and the contrast successfully.
