Week 4: 2D Design

Group Task

Each group member had to choose the best of their designs from last week, unfortunately there were only 4 people in the class and so we ended up with 2 designs. As a group we had to discuss the Different options that could have been used in the design process (exploration) and the possible problems with the design (challenges).

The first design was Keiran's pegasus pony:

The different options that could have been used with this design were getting the colours balanced correctly.
The possible problems with the design could be said to be finding originality, in both the focus of the design and the brushes used in the background.

The second design was Cherill's pop art fish:

The different option that could have been used were further colour exploration and different brush patterns.
The possible problems are that it could be said to be too blue, causing difficulty seeing the fish. Also it has no focus point so as a wall hanging piece of art, but would make an ideal background image with the un-intrusive design.

Practical
We had to choose our favourite design concept from our current works and further research and think on the possibilities of how we might differ in creating our design and what could make it better.

Two experiments

Pros and cons

Choosing and refusing
- What ways could it be created, why we decide to create it one way over another.
