I really struggled to finalise my ideas for the final a2 piece, but I think the process of working through my ideas was really helpful. I was trying to find the best colours to evoke the feeling I wanted in my piece, and while it took a while to find them I think it was important to test this a lot. I'm glad I spent a lot of time on my testing and roughing in this brief because I feel this is the most important bit of the project.
I think in this brief I've really played with colour and shape the most, which is quite outside what I normally do. I'm really pleased because I feel like I'm discovering new ways of working and image making that is really fun and exciting for me. I also enjoy all the testing because it's really interesting to see how small changes can change how a piece can come off/feel, and being able to figure this out in my sketchbook os helpful. I did get quite overwhelmed with all my options at one point, sometimes its hard to see the wood for the trees (what a good pun lmao).
It was also really nice to be doing a lot of full bleed tests in my book, I feel like I got a good understanding of my media this way as I could see what things would really look like at this size. Also it feels like I was able to experiment with loads of different ideas, like the full bleed tests were messy and loose but still good at representing a possible idea for the final. My final plan turned out quite different in colour from all my other pieces, but I feel like it's nice to see that progression to the final piece. The colour scheme I ended with seemed way more magical and whimsical because of the snowy blues, but I loved getting that bright red in there to contrast that.
