Illustration - The brief & ideas

STUDIO BRIEF: 4 ILLUSTRATION

Brief

To create a series of three posters that work in sync together, taken from the triptych brief that was completed, this brief has been set to create an individual trio of posters.

Using the same concept and theme from the triptych brief, two more posters need to be created to work alongside each other.

Background/Considerations

Consider a consistent design that can work across three variations of the poster.

Show visual research in existing floral and anatomical illustration combinations.

Consider who would want to have these posters, and what is the purpose of them, are they simply decorative or do they have a purpose?

Mandatory Requirements

On-going research, experiments and decision making must be documented on my blog.

Design boards examining design changes and decisions.

Deliverables

Series of three poster designs.

An a2 printed poster for each design.

Development work including illustrations, sketches and research.


Initial ideas

With the starting point being the poster that has already been created for the triptych brief, the next stage was to develop two other visuals. To keep the posters in sync the same floral watercolours can be used but with different placement and variation. 

Researching further into watercolours and the different textures that can be created and how the paints can be layered. These two examples of watercolours show how the texture of the paper can add quality to the design, this is something to consider with the poster designs as they will be printed flat it will be nice to create some texture within the prints. 

Keeping with the bone theme I wanted to create another two posters that can go alongside the leg illustrations. 

Creating anatomical illustrations, looking at bone studies to develop own drawings, using floral watercolours that pair with the linear drawings. The chosen content will be ribs illustration and hand illustration, executed in the same style as the triptych poster shown here.
