This is the beginning of a brief all about 'our story'. After answering some quick fire questions I created three double page spreads of graphic responses based on my answers. I was using my favourite colours (Dark red/sea green) and shapes (circles), and also letters and numbers (B, S, I, 8...). I was trying to maintain a balance of shapes and colours across the pages, so it flowed, and also keep a balance between the shapes and the white page.
My first response was fairly simple, I was just experimenting with different shapes and techniques. I like the textured brown paper and also the cut out shapes, but overall it needs more to it. More overlap and texture, and better use of space.
For my second response, I used bypass printing to create further depth in the overlap and colour, and less actual cut out card. I liked this piece, it flows better than the first, and the colours are generally quite muted with little pops of red/green.
For my last response, again I used bypass printing. The brown paper came out a funny dull pink colour, I quite liked it though and just used it. I think this last piece has a defined colour palette, and the greater use of black/grey sort of complements that. I'm happy with the responses. It was nice learning different elements of graphic design and how far it stretches. I think I managed to keep elements of me in there too with the shapes and letters!
