THE SKETCH BOOK

On Monday, September 12-16, 2016,  I was assigned my first project in the sketch book. I was assigned to make an Illustration of "What is graphic design".
 My first step to this assignment was to lightly sketch out my design. I first drew a black line from about 1/4 down diagonally from the top of the page. After I drew the line, I sketched the words "What is" on the left side of the line with the tops of the letters on the line at a diagonal. The words "Graphic Design" were then placed on the right side of the line horizontally. The letters of "What is Graphic Design" were all in block form of typography. I chose this type of typography because it is very eye catching and pops out nicely. Next, I drew a side of a face on the left side of the paper. I colored the face platinum for a neutral color that wouldn't clash with the other bright colors. Then I put pop labels in the hair, every other large strands. I used four pop labels: AW, Coca Cola, Pepsi, and Crush. I love the different ways the logos are designed. I also love using these pops and ice cream to make ice cream flouts. The strands of hair that don't have the pop labels are dotted with the color from the surrounding colors. I added swirled patterns on the top corners of the right side of the line. I made the patters Fall colors, for a different variety of warm colors among the cool, green color. The light blue hand that is behind the words "Graphic Design," represents the strong friends and family relationships in my life.  My favorite part my assignment is the face with the pop logos in the strands of hair. I love this part the best because it was the most creative part of this piece, in my opinion. This project was fun and I would love to do is again.
