Vector Art

2008-03-26T12:00:00.000+11:00

I've chosen to do a vector art style, mainly because I usually do illustration and definately need to work on my vector drawing skills!

Here are the finished art of the splash page/city selection + the first (failed) main page and the main page I ended up chosing.

here are the original sketches for both pages and menu development

A New Beginning!

2008-03-17T17:25:00.001+11:00

SO! Since my last idea was s*%# I've had to rethink the project, and re-brainstorm=

Human rights=

-uniting, coming together (community)
=>where do people reunite/ come together (church, for food, beach)

-our world= is fragile

-we need eachother= what object/system depends on every part equally, otherwise it would fall apart/wouldn't work? (eco system, some sort of toy? or gadget?)

I really like the idea of us all having to work together in order to achieve the goals of Human Rights. The only thing I could think of that uses this theory is:

a puzzle (but not really, I want something that requires balance, and a 3D puzzle would still be able to stand if it was missing a piece)
idea of irreducible complexity, or in otherwords the baterial rotary flagellum, the system of 3 basic bacteria elements which require eachother in order to survive. (not really the nicest imagery!!)
acrobats, like the ones in Cirqui du soleil, with 3 or more people balancing on eachother, with eachother lives in the others hands. depending on strength and trust.
our ecosystem, a fragile balance between living beings and their environment.

the one I'm going to persue is the acrobat one, with a circus sort of theme, it's still fun and exciting yet still has a back story and meaning relating to Human Rights.

Texture Trial

2008-03-07T19:21:00.003+11:00

After looking at pieces of work that had a lot of different textures and simple colour schemes I did a texture trial of my own, took a picture of my fridge, and put textures on it to see how the idea might turn out!

Inspiration!

These are just a few mixed media illustrations that I found in some of my magazines, the things I especially like about these artworks is their down to earth quality, and how the different textures make it more interesting.

Hello to my people!

2008-02-29T12:38:00.000+11:00

Some brain storming ideas!

Human rights film festival=

human rights= what is it to be human? what are human rights? why should we have them?
fabrics, textiles, threads of humanity, ripped paper
colour spectrum
from all around the world= marina, boats, postcards, photos, travel, suitcases
people travelling together
fun, positive, interesting,
starting from the beginning? chalkboard
film= negatives, film canisters, screens, movie theatres, seats,

The main ones I like: what is it to be human? postcards, chalkboard style, threads of humanity
