Crit Feedback

I recently had a crit and from the feedback that I gained I realised I needed to catagorise my 'original' inventions. I also needed to come up with some sort of a strap line in order to tie them all together and work as a set. I have therefore chosen to do 5 posters for 2 different themes. Transport and Music so start off with. This will give me a total of 10 posters. I plan to package each catagory and have all 5 posters collated together. Each poster will feature 5 different illustrations. So in total I shall have 50 original illustrations, vectored and printed. Quite a task!

Lightbulb Test

I experimented with a simple test to see if the concept of building each image out of vectors would actually work ok. Although the light bulb doesn't look like it will be one of the inventions I will use, it was an easy block shape to use for a test.



I feel this was reasonably successful. Although some may be easier than others and may feature more detail, I'm confident enough to attempt this process with the other inventions. Hopefully they'll all come out as well!

Initial Vector Development

Wow. I could sit and draw these all day. I think they should come out pretty well as vectors.
