Essay Progress

Today I wanted to get a bit of a plan for what I would do with my essay, so I started out by gathering all the Q&A portions of my emails and messages to industry professionals, and I put them all onto my Notion for easier reference and access. Below is a screenshot of these notes are laid out:

Now these are easier to access, I put the quotes and questions into my essay to get an overall look at word count and what I am working with, the guide word count we should aim for this section of the essay is 1000 words.

I definitely have a lot to work with! So now it will be a case of reworking the quotes I have and inputting my own thoughts!

I started to rework the quotes, including smaller snippets to allow me to add my thoughts, I will include screenshots below of progress so far:






The word count is definitely looking a lot healthier now! Though it will likely need reworking further after inputting the third industry artists quotes. I also need to add in more of my own thoughts and some general direction for the essay.

Experimenting with Colour Interaction

Image
Using what I learnt reading Interaction of Color, I tried out some of the exercises myself. Below are images of the colour combinations I tried out.  In this experiment, the smaller orange squares are the same colour, but due to the colours that surround them and the colours they lie on top of, they appear different. I tried a few different colour combinations myself to replicate this effect, I also tried staying within the same hue and just changing saturation and light. This experiment is about the subtraction of colour, I used two colours with hue near each other on the colour wheel, using a grey background behind one and a dark background of another colour behind the other. When staring in the middle of these it makes the colours look the same or very similar when they are quite different. In this experiment I wanted to see how a pattern could look different if only the background colour was changed. Making one background a dark red, and the other a light yellow, it makes the c...

Creating the Illustration

Image
In this post I will go through my process of how I created my illustration, with multiple screenshots showing each stage.  I wanted to show a whale oil extraction taking place in an unhygienic room, my thought process was that although whale oil is distributed on mass, I thought there must be some unofficial suppliers who try to profit from it. I thought of a room with blood and whale oil on the floor, suppliers that do not follow any sort of regulations. Initial sketching and line-work I started with some general boxes in perspective to understand what the room would look like and what I would include. I then started to sketch out the contents of the room, the whale being hoisted onto the ceiling and various furnishings in the room. Blood covering the floor. Next I created cleaner line-work for the core elements of the illustration. I wanted the viewer to understand something is being harvested from the whale, even if they are unfamiliar with the Dishonored franchise. Shading and ...

Initial Concept Exploration

Image
I started to explore some initial concepts, trying to blend both a futuristic and 50's feel. I imagined humanity living in space on another planet, each city contained in oxygenated domes that also are able to alter the gravity within the space. I started with a sofa with restraints, this would allow people to relax outside the domes. I thought about how it would be promoted to people, and how product focused the 50's was. I then made a drinks dispenser, the selling point of the drinks is that they provide all the nutritional needs of customers (though would probably also have some not nice ingredients that are in the fine print). Next I created a light which is similar to an LED light bar, surrounded by a decorative element similar to lampshade shapes in the 50's. Finishing up this page I made a radio, this radio also has the functionality to show a screen if the station features video, it also is able to display subtitles live as the speakers or music plays. While it has ...
