ONE WEEK MAP - Development
Main Concepts
- We thought of incorporating the masks, the main route we took (since it looks rather obscure), fire from the fire pit and rain
 |
| Sketching out simple shapes and lines. Trying out the compositions as well. |
 |
Thoughts
- We actually had various ideas, though our only concern and confusion was how we would actually incorporate it in the print. Perhaps we were thinking too much on how the final outcome would look as a print.
- I thought that we could play around with mark making since we decided to use rather simple shapes and solid block colours.
- Developing ideas took a while and we had to test our ideas with tracing paper first to see it's rough overall look before committing to the final composition
- Though I think there's room for experimenting and seeing which layer goes at the top or bottom during the printing session.
- Colours - we wanted to go for red and blue (not sure of which shade) as it suits the rainy and hearth atmosphere. Though the initial idea came from the thought of the 3D effect and subtly creating a third colour (a tinge of purple)
 |
| Tried out layering our images with a lightbox. Hoping to get a better idea of the composition. |
 |
| The imagery we decided to commit too. Though I feel that there would still be room for experimentation for the composition etc. |
Notes
- What I thought was rather challenging is that it isn't easy to picture the outcome in my head. Though I suppose that's the joy of printing, where you can't perfectly visualise the final outcome until the printing starts.
- I never tried screen printing, so I am pretty excited and looking forward to the session where we get finally experiment around and create our map.
