Set Project: Final stage

 Today I started finalising the InDesign version of the book.

I made initial improvements in terms of the page layout. The inspiration of how to introduce a more professional look I took from The Beatles illustrated lyrics. I bought this book in order to understand the graphic design of the late sixties. The author, Alan Aldridge also had a big contribution in illustrations. However, the book includes various artists from the last decade. 

My book is rather different, it has a comic construction and the illustration I put in strips. 



Nevertheless, as you can see, I transit the blue line under the songs titles as well. I was not sure, from the beginning about the text field. When I saw the example from Aldridge's book, I am sure that I made a decent effort. I tried my best in terms of managing the space per page. 




When I established this work as a book, I needed to embed the page numbers.


                 I saved the pages in pdf form. I made a preview of two pages and I implemented the cover and the back as well. Thereafter, I exported each page in jpg in order to place them into a mockup.                                      
I downloaded three sample mockups.

And simple onto particular layer I placed my pieces.

I wanted to select the right expositions to show the product on the best-looking sides.

Here, I made some cosmetic changes in Mr Kite photos with ''levels'' tool.

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 ...

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...

Welcome to my blog!

Tell me something about yourself:  I am a young artist studying IYZ Art&Design with Graphic Design BA, in De Montfort University. Live in the Leicester city centre. My pathway started since I have been influenced by a close family by Claude Monet’s works. Paintings made by my uncle’s hands were great copies. Those pieces of art have been surrounding me still. I have been studying at Art School in Bydgoszcz, were I gain helpful skills and workshop.  I would like to explore more possibilities to share my skills. The significant key of my artworks made by oil paints is the variously, including different textures and mediums. I’m sure that our expressions and feelings made us artists. In my artworks, I’m trying to take after my deep feelings of research and my inquisitiveness. Furthermore, I’m fascinated by the 50’s and 60’s century artists. Especially, Futurist artist like Boccioni, Silva, Gonzalez. Their appearance have been a tremendous impact on my art.  Claude Monet...
