Screen Print run 6

My project is about detail and quality of line. I've presented these as a two because the inverted charcoal drawings look really strong pieces together. They are like piercing eyes looking right back at you.

The gold color refers back to gold discs. I know it's simple but sometimes black and white does it for me. Maybe it's the photographer part of me speaking.

 

 

Vinyl project critical reflection

Making them look more like Vinyl

The gold disc looks good but the label section needs to be a bit bigger. Try to the label in proportion to a record so that the viewer can identify the object as a vinyl. A consistency of having equal centers would be appropriate. Most framed vinyl are displayed portrait and aren’t in A size. The rectangle appear to be a bit wider in width than a standard A3 piece of paper. Try to make it look like a record, you’ve already got “sections”, where each song is divided up. 

The gold colour is fine because when people here this, they automatically think of “vinyls”. You are making a connection with how people display them in their homes in frames.

I'm re-printing some of my previous designs because I think displaying them as a series of two or three looks better presenting them individually. I think they work stronger as a pair.

These two are not inverted positive/negatives of each other like they have been in the past. Notably, one is more irregular than the other. I think this adds visual contrast to the piece.

These designs reflect different moods and emotions of music. Each one is similar due to the fact they are discs but they each one varies from one another. Some are geometric circles, some handrawn, and some are angular. The sizes of each one vary in size and some have borders whilst some do not.

They are arranged by style, the first 6 are drawn line and the rest are solid shape negative versions. These are done on Photoshop because Screen-printing is a time consuming process and it takes far too long to do. I can visualize these designs much faster electronically and once I establish a design that works I can produce it in screen as the final finish.

However, maybe they looks too decorative. There’s too many colours and it looks distracting from the detail. What made my designs in the past look good was the quality of line. When you add all these colors, it doesn’t look like that is what it’s about now. I think I could create a separate series that can go alongside the metallic designs.
