collaborative piece #2

-

For the collaboration project I worked in one team with Bart. We are both from Poland so we agreed that would be nice to create something related to our culture. I did the research in Polish traditional clothing to look for the inspirations and I noticed that, people posing to the photo in characteristic way. That was our inspiration, we decided take the picture in the same pose and use it later in the collage


We went to the library to print out the photo in  A3 format, first, accidentally in black and white, which was even better so the most important part -clothing, would be colourful.  We also printed out the postage stamp template, colourful flower wreath and a hat. Why we printed out the postage stamp? Because Bart's progression route is product design, so the stamp is our idea for the product. The stamp could be use during the Cosmopolitan Festival in Leicester where local artists and artist from many countries deliver free arts workshops and an exhibiting their work.


This colourful, stripy dress was my inspiration, when Bartek's outfit was inspired by previous photo, where the man is wearing orange trousers with green stripes.
 
It was pleasure to work with Bart, we agreed with almost everything and we spend very creative afternoon with many ideas how to create the collage - stamp. For example to use window light for marking and tracing the stamp outlines.
 

Colourful paper was perfect for creating our costumes because colours are bright  and is easy to cut out shapes. So we glued gently, stipe by stripe, straight on our black and white photo.




When the picture was finished, Bartek has neatly cut out inside the stamp template which we use as a frame. The background is in white and red which represents colours of the Polish flag.
 

I took a picture of the collage and uploaded it to procreate. In procreate I wrote "1st "which stand for the first class postage and I drew the stamp. I found the stamp template on the internet, and I took a screenshot. That helped me to draw similar one on procreate, I used black charcoals pencil tool to create an irregular lines effect.


The final product for The Cosmopolitan Festival in Leicester.

Eco Academy Tote Bag mock up

-
Image
 Finally I was bereave  enough to experiment with the Photoshop to create the tote bag for the school. I  started with the mock up picture which I found on the free mock up website, and I downloaded it on the laptop.  After transferring the picture to the Photoshop I used a clone tool to remove the design which was already there, however a few minutes after I have finished designing the bag I learned how to do it in completely different way. I knew I am doing something wrong as it took me to long .    I used the same free background logo which I created earlier in Procreate . I fit it to the tote bag size and I saved the picture in jpg, choosing "file" and " save as"  on the left top corner . I am happy with the results, the picture is sharp in a good quality.

 In my project I will draw illustrations to a short story for children, therefore this research will help me to find information and answer to the big question: " What's make the great children book illustration? "  There is many factors what I need to consider before I will start drawing: - the age group.  - type an style of illustrations suitable for this age group - the book style - how many illustration I will include in my page. - what to avoid in the illustrations for children To decide in what style I will draw the pictures is also very important. Is that will be more cartoony or scary or is the pictures are relevant to the story. For example soft and gentle illustrations would not be perfect for a story about monsters. Go to the library an look at the real children's book is a good place to find the inspirations.  Is important to decide how many illustrations will be included in the book and what type of illustrations they are. That will affect to overal layo...

project plan schedule

During the meeting with the Tutor ,we have discussed everything regarding to my project. I have introduced my ideas and my first sketches to the book. "The magic of the amulet" is a story written by my friend's daughter. There are three main characters - Abby the little girl who lives on the tropical Island with her friends: Olivia the dolphin and Patrick the crab. I already know how they will look like. I need to think how to draw the Island and mermaids. In my head it will be a magical and colorful,  fantasy World.  My first idea was to draw 4 pictures based on the story and to make front and back cover. The Tutor advice was to create two more pages as the story will be more interesting and easier to read for the children. We talk trough every page and I am convinced now that is good idea to draw two additional pages. I will use Procreate and Flipsnack and I will make a mock book  to be able to see how will my book look in real life. I was so excided with this idea , th...
