'Make your Mark' Brief: My Backpack/Badges Continued...

Moving forward with this idea for the brief, I decided to do more work focusing on the badges. I chose one brooch in particular to start of with, I like the shape and it's simplicity is quite interesting. I wanted to do more graphic style work and just focus on the shape. I started just by scanning in the brooch, printing and doing some continuous line and blind drawings over the top.


I tried to stick to really limited colour, the brooch itself is silver/a little pink and green, so I stuck with those colours. I continued to use bypass printing and layering up different images with line drawing over the top.  For the second drawing, I sprayed a little water to make the pen run, so it was less clean cut.


After this, I tried to layer up different cut outs, and incorporate negative space areas. Not sure how I feel about this spread, I think the shapes are interesting, but I'm not sure if it works as a whole.


I wanted to try something different. and I was looking at Simon Evans work -in particular 'Everything I have', where he has created a visual list of everything he owns. I thought this was really brilliant. I'm thinking about doing something similar with this idea, but for now I just created a smaller more illustrative style page with a couple of drawings in black fineliner. I like this style, and I think I'll use the same style of drawing but apply it to something a little more like Simon Evans' work later on.
