Considering my work in the real world

-

 I found my old graphics and sketches from the time when I was strongly connected with the Punk subculture, which would be a perfect opportunity to talk about my art and how we tried to change the world. As I was the only person in the group of my friends, who can draw , I always been asked to draw or design posters or tattoos. Back in late 90’s were  no internet, barely anyone had a PC at home so my inspiration was Punk music, people around me , Punk bands posters or cassette tape covers. I drew a Punk related poster and it was published in one of the Punk Zine, the magazine strictly addressed to the Punk subculture where all the important information about the gigs and new albums were posted. 

Our message was simple, everything against Nazism, Racism, Fascism and the quote “No Future!” Related to everything: there is no future in education so I skipped school regularly. There is no future for the World ruled by Nazis etc. We were against the rules and Anarchy was the only solution. My art back then was aggressive, dark, with lots of alcohol in it. Luckily in 1999 in Poland drugs were not that popular and access to them was not easy, we drunk litres of a cheap wine instead what was constantly in my drawings. Posters shouted “No Future!” “No for Racism” “All different, all equal”

No one talked about  LGBT, homosexuality or modern days problems. Communism in Poland ends in 1989, there were many different problems back then. Probably  a message trough my art  would look totally different. The only Punk band who tried to sang about homosexuality was Homomilita.  The name of the band is mixed of two worlds “Homo” and “Milicja” (name for Police in Poland during the communism.) 

Destroy Racism, but first in your head!
 
Stupid Nazi!
 
Stop Fascism 
 

●What influence could your project have in the real world?

Trough my project I would love to show younger generation how it was before the mobile phones era. How young people enjoyed the time and how they tried to change the world. Also how to draw inspiration from everything what is around, not only the Pinterest.

●Will your project show a point of view or show something that might make people think differently?

My project would show the Punk subculture and how amazing is to belong somewhere, be with people who are same as you, without judging. Moreover I would like to introduce some history of Poland and my background. Might people start think differently about me either good or bad way, or they might be interested in my culture?

●Why is it important?

I think is important to be open minded and curios about other's people background or story. That is what I would like to show in my project. Moreover my story might shows how important is to make a good decisions in life. To be honest, Punk subculture is not for a good children, I was inside that world for many years. Many of my friends were addicted to alcohol or drugs, however some of them doing really well in their life, my best friend from our band is the Head of Primary School now, other person is an architect another one is in the band and they are still playing and recording.

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...
