Paige Maddox- Visual Storytelling

 

 

I've started to create some spot illustrations that represent certain plots within the book. The three illustrations that I've made show: mole lost in the wild wood, mole and rat having a picnic and showing both characters in a boat.  I believe that these outcomes are successful because I've experimented with drawing within a certain amount of space. Also, I think that these designs are successful because there is a balance of simple and detailed lines.  To improve these illustrations even further, I may consider applying colour to see whether the designs look better with or without colour.   

  After making a few banner designs, I picked the one that I believe that was the most successful and applied colour to it. I think that my banner design is effective because I've used a mixture of simple and detailed lines. Also, I've used the same colour scheme so that it works well with my logo design.  To improve this design even further, I could of tried experimenting with different layouts and how I could change the composition of the text and image. 

After drawing a few logo designs, I've chosen the design that I believe is the most successful. I've extended the design even further by applying colour. I did this by scanning my design and adding colour to it by using Photoshop.  I believe that this design is the most successful because it clearly shows my art style and links to the career that I want to work within, which is illustrating for Children's books.  I also think that this design is the most successful because it would work best when using it on my own website and for making stickers to add onto my products.
