One Day Project- Valentines

For this one day project, I was given the task to produce an illustration that links to Valentine's Day.

When coming up with ideas, I started by making character designs and by doing some research.

I researched into Greek and Roman mythology and how certain God's and Goddesses link to Valentine's Day. Within this research, I discovered myths in Roman mythology about Cupid. There's a myth about how Cupid makes Apollo fall in love with a Goddess by striking him with a golden arrow. Afterwards, he strikes the Goddess with a lead arrow which causes her to feel repulsed by him.

I believe that my illustrations are successful because they visually communicate a story linked to my research. Also, I think that my work is successful because I've combined the uses of typography and illustration. I like this piece of work because of the patterns and mark makings that I've applied tot eh characters and text. For the colour scheme, I wanted to choose softer shades. So I decided to pick a mixture to lighter and pastel colours. I applied colour to my work by using Photoshop.

Along with my packaging designs, I've decided that I want to produce collectables. I want to do this as young children like to collect toys and I think that this will encourage this target audience to keep wanting the product. Each collectable is going to be based off a benefit of dark chocolate so that there that the product can be educational based. So far, I have designed three characters. Hetty Heart, Merlin Moon and Sally Sun. I thought that giving them fun names would work for young audiences. After producing my character designs, I've started to apply colour to them. I think that the primary colour scheme works as children find bold colours more eye-catching. For the next stages, I'm still going to continue to create more character designs so that I can develop them even further. Also, I'm going to continue to produce more designs so I create more collectables. As I've designed characters based on the benefits of eating dark chocolate, Veronica advised m...

Packaging Briefcase- Sally Sun Packaging In Colour:

For this piece of work, I've now started to add colour to my designs that are for the front of my packaging. I'm happy with the colour scheme as even though they're all bold colours, I believe that they work well together. To improve this design, I think that I should try experimenting with a different colour scheme for the logo as I think it's blend in too well with the rest of the packaging. Also, I may try and apply more uses of pattern to see if that make my design even more effective.
