Childrens illustrations

Not exactly the style im going for but she has used imagery which would really appeal to children, its really plain but really obvious which i feel is needed and the interesting aspects to make it feel real she has added through texture and color.

Childrens illustrations

The above are illustrated by Emily Golden, what cought my attention with these is the hand drawn images she has put into digital but also the different patterns she has used in different areas to make the image so much more interesting such as the matresses in the last image.

I really really like this and am becoming increasingly interested in different textures and colours you can put into one image. This is used in the above image by Ryan Bubnis it brings it to life so much, without it i think this would look quite scary but the different colours texture and collage he uses grabs your attention to the different areas of detail and brings it alive.

Childrens illustrations

These are illustrations by Steve Mack, he is a Illustrator for children's books, I really like how simple the images he creates are but they represent the page so clearly for a child. They look really textured and colorful, i think this is really important and worth considering because it will help grab a child's attention. my favorite is the owl, he has used really simple shapes to create the image which makes it come to life in a different way than the obvious drawing.

Images - Animal

I want to use exotic animals i think for this section, most children have never seen these animals before so they find them really interesting and exciting which will draw them in to this section. These are just a few really poor pictures i put when i went to Flamingo Land a while ago but you get the idea from them what i want.

Type Faces

After looking at lots of different type faces i have narrowed it down to the ones above, they are all taken from DaFont apart from one, i feel i want the type face to be similar to handwriting, particularly children's handwriting, i feel this will give it a much more welcoming feel to young children, and they will be able to relate to the type. I do need to see what this looks like against the imagery i cant just assume this style will work.

Task 8

These are the categories i have decided to look at and illustrate for the children's library signage:

Tools and machines

Science and Nature

History

Animals

Fantasy

Fiction

Classics

Arts and Games

Task 8

Task 7

I have been looking at sara fanellis work and have thought rather than making things really complicated with the signage it may be really nice if i do some type put make it similar to the style above.

Task 7

Task 6

Task 6

i love these above :) i think they are very pretty and very anna! however i only have a small amount of time and i need to make 10 identical so i need to forget this idea, i could possibly use it for another brief.

This is like book origami, very simple but effective, i may try this and adapt it to something.

Task 6

I some how have decide that i want to use origami, so im guessing i shall be using the word shape, i really want to have a good go at this and create something really amazing! i need to find an origami book first.

Task 5

This is not really what we are doing, but i thought id have a mooch and see what other motion graphics people had done with the alphabet they are all pretty rubbish to be fair, the second video i have posted if pretty naff but some of the letters are quite interesting with the movement involved.

Task 4

How does a tank play a piano? i have no idea but from looking further at them i want to draw one with a big arm coming out like the above image and i shall use this as the pant that plays the piano.

Task 4

So for my 2d-3d-2d my words put together make - a tank playing a piano outside a museum! yes very random, so im going to start with the drawing looking at some classic images of the objects/place i was given. For the drawing i want to include detail, where are the photo the 3d i want that to feel quite abstract. I am thinking with the piano to draw the whole proper one, but for the 3d as i don't own a piano or can get my hands on one i think im just going to use the keys from the piano.

Task 3

Some fun little things i found whilst research mug eye charts, not really the thing im going for but still, nice little post!

Task 3

I have found it really hard to find anything image related to an eye chart, there is one shown below but its awful and not the sort of thing i want to go for. The second i made by adding lettering to a template, on the website listed.

Task 3

I have started of this task by looking at traditional eye charts, to get a feel for the real layout and scale. I think if i include the numbers along the side will make it look more like a 'real' eye chart, im going to see if i can find any people have illustrated and hold any images next.
