Finals

This is an image of the final pdf I sent to Independent Leeds. Overall I am happy with the outcome and I think it evokes the tone I was aiming for. As well as the colours, I wanted the focus of the illustration to be serenity - to go with the overarching themes of the article. Including the motifs of the sound waves is also something I really like in the image, I want to think about semiotics more in future projects as I think you can read much more into what is going on. I really enjoyed the process of this brief and it's the first proper editorial project I have taken on. As my practice develops I want to continue doing these kind of briefs, whilst developing my visual voice.

Circle Illustration

Tests

After roughing I knew the general idea I wanted to develop for the circle illustration. I tested variations of the colours I used in the half page image. The composition worked well against the other image, I think the balance of white and colour, as well as detail of the trees/leaves helped with this.

Final

I made the base of the mountain slightly thinner, to line up with the bottom part on the main image. I also just prefer the overall shape of the mountain in this one, it doesn't look as squashed down.
