Final Images - Project 3



These were the two images I will submit for my final t-shirt design. I wasn't sure whether to include colour into my image or if I should leave it as a line drawing. Personally I think it looks a little bit better for a t-shirt if it was a line drawing I think. Penguin Prison is the name of the Artist of the song I chose and the song is called 'A funny thing' including the lyrics 'you can't argue with the radio god'. It was quite a hypnotic song which made me envision a young child being completely zoned out whilst listening to it.

Ralph Steadman


 





Ralph Steadman was mentioned in a lecture that we were given and automatically I enjoyed looking at his work. This has influenced me quite a bit due to the glasses and the weird outlook he has when sketching people.

Final Images - project 1


These circles are to show the colours and moods of the story, by using the events. It begins by having an innocent snow white with pale skin, black hair and blue eyes. Then moves to the step mother becoming angry so flames. Then the woods where snow white is sent to her death, I would have preferred this circle darker to have more of a deathly feel. The heart which was meant to be hers but instead was a deers placed in the center of the queens jealous green eye. Then the poison red apple for danger used to trick snow white. Finally the pale, happy ending where she marries the prince and lives in the castle.

Images should be printed on a large scale and re-arranged to preference later on.

Andrea Joseph





I love Andrea Joseph. The majority of her work is created using biro but looks like it has been shaded perfectly with pencils.
