book page project

This project for me was my least favourite, I personally didn't really understand what the expected results for this project were and with every lecturer I asked about what was expected, I was given a completely different answer. My final understanding for this project was to use the pages given to transform them in a way that relates to the words on the page. 

I looked at a bunch of different ideas for this but admittedly I was rather disappointed with anything that I came up with and I believe this lack of enthusiasm, and deflation for this project led to poor outcomes. I contemplated re-doing this project however I couldn't find the motivation to bring myself to do it, as I would have been able to do for the other projects. 

These were the outcomes for the project and honestly I think that I definitely could have done something better, not just in execution but also in the idea generation process.

life drawing sessions

Image
 I decided to talk about all 3 different life drawing sessions as they generally followed the same theme of incorporating colour and playing around with compositions. These were likely my favourite life drawing lessons because not only was I challenged but I feel like I responded well, In a way in which I produced results that I was happy with. My favourite outcome was my "oranges" composition which I think looks really visually attractive and is so different from anything that I would usually produce.

Box Narrative

Image
 I wanted to say that although I finished the panels for this project and successfully told a narrative I did not manage to construct the final box. For this project I wanted to tell the narrative of a cherry blossom that begins bare but begins to bloom before eventually leading to scenes of blossom petals flowing through the air. For me personally this was a challenge as the medium for this was collage, something which I generally don't use in my work. If I were to do this one day project again I would be interested to try and create these scenes using digital collaging techniques.

designing Mansa Musa

Image
My character for my folded format narrative was Mansa Musa, a 12th century King who ruled over the Mali empire, and was also the richest man to have ever lived. designing his character was particularly hard since because he lived so long ago there aren't any photographs of him for reference, only artist depictions. Even though there are artist references out there they are extremely far and few between which again means I had very little to go on. Before seeing these depictions I had a rather different idea of what Mansa may of looked like as you can see by my initial impression sketches. My first design for Mansa Musa came from looking at these references and you can see that initial sketch below. This sketch tried to take into consideration clothes that he may have been wearing based on environmental factors like being in humid environments such as deserts and cities in Africa. The next iteration aimed to simplify this design so that his character was easier to replicate or redra...
