Final Reflective Post

This is the final reflective post, and recalling the last session will reflect my experience from this term and my future decisions.

The work that I did this term has a satisfactory result which I observing through the course. I have learned how to connect my interest to the real world, crossing mind boundaries and giving an art space for myself despite the current time.

The last project with ''Sgt Pepper's lyric book'' has personally, the best evaluation in comparison to the previous project. I found that I can research a lot and choose the relevant information to translate into my outcomes. However, the extended artists' profiles made confusion in some way. I noticed it particularly by creating a book cover. Collecting too much information has introduced the opposite of exceptional illustration tailored to make it as simple as it can be. I made a fault in this term, therefore, in my next tasks, I will try to determine only a few inspirations and transit them into my creative language.

Except for the illustrations, the most disturbing process was with designing the text area. Nevertheless, I had looked at the examples from a different lyric book. Alongside my observations, I have not seen any differences. I come to the conclusion, that I would need to make more comprehensive research in terms of ready-made outcomes. In order to feel proudly enough to show them as well.

My year at DMUIC under pandemic circumstances definitely has changed my point of view and expectations regarding the university program. What I have been through, I can assume as good preparation for the university. With this program, I discovered how to define myself in the art world. Also, it has changed my approach into self-study time, where I learned how to manage and understand my progress and reflect on it.

When I think about the future, I still see the subject connected to art. However, having almost twenty years old it is hard to precise all future decisions and plans. My progression is still unchanged - Graphic Design (Illustration). I look forward to getting to know more about the course. I hope that this year helps my to be prepared for new experience and challenges in the first year of the undergraduate course. During the study, I was passionate about everything connected with the culture. Therefore I can reckon the most likely scenario about being a freelancer.

Set Project: The exact reason why and sketches

I have not straightened why I chose to illustrate the lyrics. As you may have noticed, I know quite a lot about music from the last century and always dreamed about the connection with visual art. Especially in this case, when the album is laid out as a story. Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity I intend to make something familiar using illustration. You see, songs have a lyric - a story. And I want to share with those, by giving my version. In fact, Primitivism is related to the 60s pop culture and the insights I will publish gradually. The album that I chose is unique in terms of the tracklist. Sgt. Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band has no gaps between tracks. Therefore they made an album that sounds like one continuous song. ''Highly debated it is considered as a one of the first concept album'' (The HollyHobs, 2020). Some of the songs had been established according to the newspapers headers/stories. The reasons why I chose this relation to the theme ...

Art Portfolio: Planning primary research

For your project, you will need some primary research so that you can either understand your market and focus your work more clearly in a real-world context or you will need background research to inform your project work that comes from a primary source. I conducted research on familiar comic books or something with past matters content. I found a story of the beginnings of The Beatles. It is also related to my project. The Baby's in Black: The Story of Astrid Kirchherr & Stuart Sutcliffe takes reader back to the early 60s, when Paul, John, George, Pete and Stuart decided to extend their musical abilities by playing in Kaiserkeller club, Hamburg. The book was originally published in Germany in 2010. Therefore, the vibe of this book ideally reflects the place and experiences. This ultimate graphic novel has 195 pages. Accordingly black&white design reflecting the title. The author, Arne Bellstorf used individual renditions by pulling a lot of effort into...

Set Project: Sketches and coming back to the first plan

In the last days, I concluded that I should focus on the reasons why I choose this topic and the style of this project. I think I started to be weak and not sure what I want to do. I think the reason is in a large number of researches. Same with techniques and artists to look at. I summarise that I am not capable to mix various inspirations at once. I came back to my first inspiration Anto van Hertbruggen. Because I always wanted to make art like that, no matter what's it gonna take. Here I will discuss the elements which I want to use to combine this pice in one. Here is the whole work with the background. As I mentioned before, I looked at how Anton work on his illustrations. He usually filling few sheets in drawings (as layers for one illustration). First, I found a great view on google maps. I am interested in the territories of Canada and the northern landscape. The place is in Northwest Territories, in Yellowknife. click I sketch this place on two sheets of paper. Then...
