6X6 Brief Response.

6X6 Brief Response.

For my brief Responses I chose to identify a unnoticed behaviour or related and a print outcome.

Originally I was going to use this as an example to complain about people on trains with a more illustrative approach, using it as a chance to explore a new work method using procreate, I took particular inspiration from a designer I found on instagram.

The end goal was to always put this into illustrator to practice and learn how to make designs feel more full and less plastic like as illustrator has never been a strong part of my process, a lot of the time my physical to digital just doesn't line up with it.

Whilst randomly looking through old work and backing things up, I came across this cover and back cover image originally intended for a 4.4 publication.

At the time it didn't really fit but I always really liked it and the thinking behind it, using blocks of bike typefaces to simulate a bike rack. The errors definitely show as it was hand drawn and hand painted with inks, but I decided to use this and remaster it using illustrator.

I followed parts of this tutorial to learn how to give texture and depth to designs in Illustrator, some were successful some were not.

The brief idea in mind being a poster outside the bike racks about etiquette and safety.

Outcomes:

Playing around with a texture brush of the letters in the design.

The texture brush didn't quite work out but thats ok at least I tried it.

Annoyingly the white text looks terrible on here thanks to the white background of the blog site, but isolated it reads very well.
