I began the making of this Mexican skull by first tracing around this image on tracing paper with precision after which I then placed the tracing paper into a blank piece of paper that allowed me to scan it in correctly as a ttf . once I had scanned this image in I then saved it into a folder. after this, I then placed my image in illustrator and placed it in o position . then with my mouse, I selected object which revealed the image trace option that allowed me to select the make and expand tool. after this was done I left clicked the shape builder tool and then used the live paint bucket to fill my image with colourThis image was created using the same method used in the first Mexican skull that I traced. But in this design, I have created my own version.
Here I have researched many unisex children’s tops. and my research has revealed that the colour pink is not present in the majority of tops in this genre.
I have become inspired by the rain cloud patterns as I believe them to be very eye-catching and pretty while also remaining unisex.
Here I have researched various different monsters. I have become inspired by the old black and white cartoons which have very simple features characters can be seen taking place in the bottom left-hand corner. I admire the simplicity of these designs and will look to re-create these characteristics in my own monster designs.
I have chosen this colour scheme as I believe that it is very bright, creates a good amount of contrast and appropriate for all genders.
These designs have been created inspired by the children’s nursery rhyme rain go away. I have done this by ensuring to include imagery of rain clouds raindrops and also incorporated some typography that reads the words within this rhyme.
To make this pattern I first scanned in my original designs and then converted them into a traced image doing so by using the image trace function that I found on the windows menu that I set to colour mode and high fidelity photo after which I then selected expand that officially turned my design into a traced image that then allowed me to fill in the designs with colour using the swatches and the life paint tools. Once I had done this I then began to create a pattern doing so by duplicating my individual images and strategically placed them into this pattern. I finished this design by adding a grey background and placing my pattern on to blue strips.resulting in this finish look.
This pattern was accomplished first using the same method that I put in to practice in my first pattern. however, I have incorporated the use of the brush tool into this design that I set o charcoal and used to make the black marking in the red cloud and the red marking that appears behind the blue raindrops.
I have also completed this pattern using the same method I have used in both of my earlier patterns. I believe this pattern to be successful as it is both unisex and visually appealing while making this I ensured not to incorporate the colour pink due to my research revealing that this particular colour is not often used in unisex clothes. I believe my design to be expressive and unique and feel that my overall design would attract the attention of a child with a somewhat moody personality who may have alternative parents.
I have accomplished these pattern filled star shapes by taking my already made pattern designs and dragging them into the swatches pallet that I used to fill in three-star shapes I had made earlier.
out of these designs I have chosen to take both the black and white horned character with long arms further and the three-eyed character as I believe that it is these images that hold the most potential.out of these various designs I have chosen to take the monster that is made up of three heads that are joined together as I feel this design to be interesting and fun.
I have chosen to take the lego brick monster further as I believe this character to the most effective.Even though I believe this design to be somewhat effective I feel that it is not original enough to take further.
here I have presented my audience with step by step images in how I have gradually developed the design of this monster.in this image, I have attempted to draw this particular monster in a three-d way.
In this image, you will see the development stages in which I went through in order to come to a more refined version of this particular monster.
in this image, you will see the lego monster design that I had previously drawn in various different positions and forms.This image is the final design of the lego monster. I feel that this design is visually appealing, fun and original however I feel that this design does not hold as much potential as the three-headed monster design.here I hade re-created my design in the form of a college.Here I have experimented with various different art mediums such as watercolour, graphite pencil, ink and colouring pencil.In this image, you will see three different designs of this monster displaying different body positions of which have been designed in order to express the characteristics I have written beside them.
This is an image of my final design that I will place on my tops
Design analysis
This is an image of my final design in this image I have presented my audience with a three-headed black and white monster of which I have deigned possessing characteristics taken from old classic Disney cartoons. These characteristics can be seen taking place in the black and white stylings of this monsters and the simple eyes and large white gloves with two black dots on the back of the hand. I have done this to attract the attention of my target audience that being the parents of nine to ten-year-olds as I hoped that this would remind them of the cartoons they once watched as a child while also appealing to the children through its cute characteristics. Another way I have appealed to the children is through the use of the very long somewhat wiggly arms that I have designed to look as though they would tickle you if you got to close while also incorporating many facial expressions in the three heads of my design showing the first dragon-like head to look happy and sweet while the second character looks somewhat goofy as I have drawn this face having crossed eyes and odd teeth. The last face of this character I have drawn to look cute and cat-like. I have drawn these displaying monster like features that can be seen in the pointed teeth, horns scales and its mythical form that I have designed to look slightly unnerving through its very long and thin body, multiple heads and many hands. I have incorporated these three heads into my design in order to illustrate the many characteristics that children hold expressing them as being sweet silly, fun and cute and beastly. In my opinion, I feel I have successfully created a monster that is suitable for all genders while still looking cute and full of character.
After I was pleased with my design, I then scanned it in and began to edit it on photoshop doing so by removing its white background and refining the overall design using the paintbrush tool. Once this was done, I started to place my monster on to my mockup t-shirt while doing this I decided to add a drop shadow in order to cause my monster to look slightly more three D. I also changed the colour of the top to a very light blue colour and set the background to a light red. I had chosen these
