Project One: Progress
This is my initial progress point for Project One: Fantasy Appliance.
I enjoy baking in my pastime, so I wanted to use an appliance that's integral to my own embodied practices in the kitchen. I chose a hand mixer, hoping to showcase the 'love,' or 'joy,' that it can bring for me and others, through its contributions. My idea was to have the hand mixer create a tornado storm of warmth or love; hence the clouded heart in the center of the sky.
Moving forward, I want to add some smaller hearts, scattering around the tornado, to better signal the idea of love 'spreading.' Additionally, I think adding whirlwind imagery towards the bottom of the tornado will prove to be effective in communicating that the heart is a storm cloud. Lastly, I want to reconsider some of the grey values towards the back. I feel like some of these are too dark, camouflaging the focal points of the tornado and the mixer.
Right now, I'm not loving where my image is at, but I'm trusting the process and feel keen about my concept. I'm excited to make this better and continue working on these ideas.
Looking forward to hearing feedback, thank you! <3
I think this is great, I love the back story, it really brings the image to life. I think that adding more detail to the tornado would be good because at first look I did not realize it was a tornado. I think the shape is throwing me off if it would be more tornado like. I think the mixer looks really well done your hading really made it pop in the image.
ReplyDeleteThis is so neat! I'm excited to watch your progress as you work with the image more. I love the concept and I think you are headed in a really cool way. I can tell you've practice the image trace tool and the flowers look super neat at the bottom of the image. I agree with Rebecca that the shape of the tornado is a little weird, but I think it can easily be fixed to be easier to identify!
ReplyDeleteHoly cow! This looks fantastic, you really seem to have a great handle on the illustrator software. Definitely putting some more emphasis on the tornado aspect would get your message across a bit better. Super excited to see where you go with this!
