Theme - When i look at media city uk all i could think is that its very modern and futuristic. The shapes of the buildings around media city are all very modern as well. My idea was to take the futurism to the next level and imagine its like 100 years from now, adding space shuttles, roller coasters and tubes for cars.
Ok so i am really liking my design but now i have to make it more realistic and look professional. I now need to get some images of space shuttles, moons, trains, roller coasters and robots.
Ok so i have a big problem. My design is going well but its not looking how i want it to using illustrator. I am trying to take the seriousness away from my illustration and using the pen tool the lines are looking to straight and the design is going to lose the fun element i first brought in. I need to draw all of the illustration or i will lose what i first wanted.
Experimenting with me idea. The roller coaster doesnt work but i need to make it bigger from my original design, also the building is not detailed enough and its hard to recognise.
The image is better than my original design but still needs tweeking just a little bit (well i hope)
Great Research
I emailed liz confused with what was required for last thursday's lesson and i just want to apologise for not commenting on everyones blogs and will be doing this soon. Liz sent me a link for the jetsons and looking at the designs this have give me another idea for my illustration. I will upload my idea soon.
Final design - step one
COLOUR!!!
Now i have finished my illustration its time to bring it onto the computer. Colour will be my next stage for my design. Using just RGB brings another element of graphic design to my illustration and i also don't want to over complicate things.
Just experimenting on the computer
do the colours work?
As usual i have now come up with another problem. Because i dont have much time i havent been able to make these lines myself so i have used live trace. My problem is the lines have not all joined so i now will have to fill these gapes using the pen tool. GREAT!!
Love your illustration, best piece of work i've seen you do. Go you!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
ReplyDeleteYo Man!
ReplyDeleteliking the designs, seem similar styles to some of my work.
the design is nice mate, u tried to play about so the swirls follow the ride, rather than use them in the background.
if you wrap them round the ride then it will give your work more flow, just a suggestion, all in all keep it up, its looking good!
Bradshaw!
Thanks alot dude, i will take onboard your ideas :)
ReplyDeleteThe problem being is i only have till thursday to finish this and its taking alot of time on the computer so i might re design it for when it goes in my portfolio.
Thanks for the comment though
