Illustration & Graphics Taster


This taster was also one that i really enjoyed. I experimented with different techniques such as using grounds and different media and ways of making images which was interesting and i learned a lot from, before moving on to focusing on one word. My word was 'Hide' and after producing a mind map i focused on a few key areas of interest. Firstly, i experimented with the marks and shapes associated with my word and thought of blurs and blocking out and distortion, so i used lines and squares and layering. I then looked at the way the word itself could behave on the page to depict the meaning, i tried different spacing, placement of the word, size and lower and upper case. I then experimented with imagery, both drawn and found, taking everything i had done into account and deciding on the best layout. These were the final products:





I feel i learned a lot from this taster and along with Fine Art it was my favourite, i think the techniques i learned will be useful for me in the future.
