Further research and the direction of my project

-

In this post I will answer some questions regarding my project and how far I am in designs and ideas.

1. How has my research, so far , informed project?

So far my research has informed my project really well. The primary research and interview with a tattoo artist let me understand her work better. I learned how difficult is that job and how hygienic the place should be. Such a big different from tattooing in dirty places back in 1980.

The Sailor  Jerry research was very interesting and inspiring. I learned that people always decorated their bodies. And it was very symbolic. Symbol of the group or place that we belong or as a symbol of something  important that happened in life.

2.How useful has my research been?

I found my research very useful so far. Sailor Jerry inspired me with his designs and black outline in his drawing. I would use that as my inspiration in designing patches.

Regarding to tattoos and research into tattoo machines I realised how important is using the right type of tattoo machine. The knowledge about the tattoo machine parts is essential in tattooing, because the tattoo artist disassembles machine to clean it properly after every single tattoo. Sometimes it takes long if you are not skilled enough.

3. What further research will I carry out next to build on previous research?

My further research will I carry out next will be about the history of tattoo. How people perceived tattoos in the past and how it is now. Also very interesting is the fact that tattoo style is often assigned to the place where you live.  

4. How will the further research inform my work?

The knowledge and inspiration from my further research would let me to design better tattoos or inspiring me with a logo design.

    I think you could direct your research towards your subject area as well as the research you have done so far, it is important to be aware of the style and trends that are significant in your industry at the moment so when you go to undergraduate you have a wider knowledge of your subject area.

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...

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...
