Week 3

Tuesday 10 March

We were tasked with creating 3 iterations of an illustration (or a sequence of illustrations) and handing them around for the class to critique and write emotive qualities they drew from the images. I wasn't entirely happy with the set of illustrations that I handed in as I don't feel that they worked very well together as a whole, I was missing an illustration for Courtenay Pl and I also printed them in black and white by accident so didn't feel like the full effect was showing thorough in any of them. Some good feedback, might need to work on making the illustration for Lambton Quay look less strict and informative and more adventurous, I'm hoping adding some extra layers or a better colour scheme to the image might convey the more adventurous/exploring vibe I want to convey in my brochure.

I heard a mention of a website called thenounproject.com during class and decided to take a look to get some possible ideas from symbols that matched the key words I was choosing for each destination and found some obvious and not so obvious symbols and shapes I can use for both ideas for illustrations and the secondary communication points I've chosen (personal rating, type of venues - food/clothes/bars, and diversity of shops/attractions).
