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: Final 3D piece

 It is high time to show the final 3D outcome. I have been waiting for a sunny day to take a picture of Mr Kite. I found a perfect corner in the window ledge. I managed to find some white sheets for the ''session''. Unfortunately, they were curved and undulating and having no extra ones I tried to make it professional.  All this showcase is after Photoshop edit.  On those shoots I wanted to emphasise his posture. Nevertheless, it is still a bit stiff. Here I captured all his attributes in front of him. And one more, with his hands up. Which personally, I can compare them with gorilla's.  I took two pictures from different angles. In order to zoom in the portrait details. In addition, one from the front. I made a few mistakes regarding background preparation. I could glue or taped pages together to avoid the gaps. However, the software edit made a brighter impression, which is definitely an advantage.  Maybe a thicker paper and front light would reach a more prof...

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 ...
