After having a quick go at this brief previously, I knew I wasn't satisfied with what I had done. I discussed various ideas with a friend, and we thought it would be better to have a card that resinated Leeds, that showed where it was coming from.
Thats how I got here, Leeds civic hall covered in snow. In all honesty I was really proud of this piece, mainly because I used a wacom to colour it all in, which is something very new for me.
Yes it took me a while to do, and i could have come up with a much simpler idea that was just as effective, but I felt like I pushed myself on this one and for a change was happy with the results.
The good:
- Quite pleased with the line work (no ruler used)
- Considering I'm new to the wacom, I was pleased with the results
- Personally quite happy with the concept, much better than my last one, so glad I did it again.
To be improved:
- Im not completely happy with the type, I tried writing it myself so many times, and I'm just not sure it really fits. Sometimes I wish I was a graphic designer and an illustrator!
- I think the overall feel is a bit too cold. I know its snowing but I wanted the inside to look a lot warmer than it does. So darker yellow next time to show the glowing inside!
I did not win the competition, but I got this lovely email to say thanks so thats pretty cool.
