IMPROVING ILLUSTRATIONS

In preperation for Thursdays class, we had to develop more illustrations for our brochure. These are the 3 I settled on to bring to class. I thought more about the feedback I got last class and tried to create images that included more symbols and icons from each destination, as I needed to be clearer at showing where each destination was. I also thought about the feeling of each destination and tried to show this with the way i'd cut out each picture and the lines and shapes i've added.

Lyall Bay 

- a beach next to the airport. 

- freedom, fun. 

Green Belt

- Stretch of recreational forest.

- Relaxing, peaceful.

Oriental Parade

- a beach in the city.

- Vibrant, cheerful. 

These were pretty rough illustration and i knew i needed to fix them quite a lot before I finalised them. I got feedback from tutors which helped me out a lot. I took on the feedback for my 'Green Belt' illustration, that I mentioned in my previous post, and worked on an improved illustration. I did the same with my other two destinations and came up with 3 new and improved illustration.

Lyall Bay improved

Green Belt improved

Oriental Parade improved

I realised that my previous illustrations were quite flat on the page so I improved this by playing with scale and making the lines and shapes flow into the image a bit more. There is definitely still room for more improvement but I will work with these for now when continuing to the next process of text layout. I plan to make the illustrations flow when putting them on a spread, by carrying on parts of them, like lines, onto the other page.
