Graphic Design - Task 1
The first practical task of the graphic design project was to create a series of 4 backgrounds, two collages and two ink washes. These 4 backgrounds were then used to experiment with typography by adding text and lettering over them.
My first background was an ink wash which worked nicely as i used a sponge in a 'dabbing' effect to create a textured look to it.
I allowed the ink to thicken on some parts of the paper as i dragged the sponge across. I like how the layers of ink are really obvious as some parts are darker from where more ink has been added.
I was able to quickly create collaged backgrounds by using mixed medias of envelopes, brow paper, newspaper, magazines and graphpaper. I didn't want them to look too 'thought about' therefore placed them down quickly and randomly without thinking about it too much.
