Art Statment
My chosen topic for Digital Media project was “Dawn”. I needed to design a pair of posters relevant to the subject word Dawn.
I drew some concepts in my sketchbook to show my ideas. My chosen concept was “Rio de Janeiro City” in the 1930s and 2019. I research and found in two different time eras of Rio de Janeiro for my concept and got more recent images from that, I got inspired to do my own design.
So I researched and found some old reference images along with more recent ones which inspired my design. I chose Rio de Janeiro because it is well known and I thought it would be interesting to show the comparison between the two time spaces.
Landscape layout was chosen so I can show the area of Rio de Janeiro city in its full perspective. While using illustrator I experiment with shadows in my geometric design and I think that brought depth within my work. Typography was inspired by travel postcards and that complements the image of Rio city. I added some filters to my 1930s poster to create a vintage feel, I managed to achieve this using noise filter in Photoshop and Hue and saturation in the adjustment section.
I like to design my illustrations with simple geometric shapes by using vector curves and sharp lines. I also inspired by the style of paintings from Art Deco to add flat colours and shadows. For this project, I created all pieces of my design in Adobe Illustrator.
