Original Ideas:
When I thought of music, I thought of Blues and Jazz which is why when I started sketching, I drew this outline of a man with curly ringlets with a trumpet.
Critiques:
Most people were happy with the colour template that I chose for my final postcard but were puzzled about the size that I chose for the postcard. It was an unconventional size, being much longer than the normal sized one.
I had one very critical critique that said my postcard and drawing looked a little like Clipart. In a way I’m honored cause Clipart is mass art meaning that my drawing has mass appeal. HAHA. But it also means that my drawing is very simple and easily replicated. This is a big NO NO, especially for a design module. I thought long and hard about this critique and decided that I should completely scrape my original idea.
Another round of brainstorming soon ensued. This time, I referred back to Assignment 1, finding something delightful in the way I saw letters in objects. Using that, I came up with a whole new design for the postcard.
Improvements done:
Since I redid my whole assignment, I would have to say that it is overall an improvement. At least my images were not like Clipart anymore. And my colour palette was also redone.
Notice how I incorporated the letters “M.U.S.I.C” into the picture. =)
I also decided to retain the sizing for my postcard. (UNIQUE)
Redoing:
After hearing those comments, I then went to redraw my postcard altogether.
Criticisms included how the people looked weird. So it was back to the drawing board...Final product:
An improvement over the previous one? I certainly do hope so.
