Badges making workshop

-

This year, Bring The Paint Festival started on Monday 23rd of May through to Sunday 29th May. It was a great opportunity to see graffiti artists during the work, have a conversation with them or took part in the workshops. The Badge Making Workshop seems to be created special for me on the perfect time and in the perfect place. I read on the website that the safety pin badges would be made by using the collage techniques which was the best opportunity to use my own designs. 

 

The workshop was at the LCB Depot and was very busy . There was a table set with stickers, colourful pictures, magazines and Posca pen for creating designs. I asked politely if I could use my own design and the staff member cut out my design to the size of the template. 

 
This is the badges making machine. On the first step I put the silver badges top in the machine, then my own design and at the end I covered my it with the transparent plastic foil. By pushing down the black handle I pressed everything together , then I put the back of the pin into a special slot and I pushed the handle again, this time a little bit stronger. I created my very first safety pin and I felt amazing and surprised how easily I created the badge. If I could choose, I would make them a little bit smaller, despite this they are perfect! The punk badges would look amazing on my leather jacket as the 3D outcome.

That is the short video of me making badges, with the song "Time is tight" on the background. I chose that song for two reasons, firstly because is by The Clash, famous and my favourite punk band, very related to the "Punk's not dead" project. Secondly the title of the song is "Time is tight" which is true because the deadline is next week!

Eco Academy Tote Bag mock up

-

 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...
