Image Ideas

After exploring the 'Processes' aspect of Illustration Practise I decided to focus on the tools Illustrators use. This obviously varies from Illustrator to Illustrator but I wanted to create an image that reflected my experience of creating imagery and the 'tools' I would use.

      I was thinking of laying the objects out like a table top starting from the left with normal drawing objects e.g. pens and getting more obscure e.g. a potato or your body parts towards the right.

I changed the design to a grid as then there could be a wider range of objects and I could have connections and comments between objects, this would help the eye move both vertically and horizontally making the most of the layout. I could put my spot colour in the bottom right corner to maximise the space.

This is how I would like the finished image to look like this with annotations and simple illustrations, I would probably use a thick pen line and possibly solid shading so that it will work well as a risograph printed image.


Final Image


I worked my rough up into a final piece that aimed to echo the process of using tools and the thought process of illustration.
