Final Major Project – Illustration Development

Looking back through my research, I realised that I found a lot of interesting poster designs that reduce pictograms to a white image. I originally thought that that wouldn’t be possible with my illustrations, however giving it a go i realised it is possible. For more complicated illustrations that can’t be understood through all white, all i needed to do was use the colour of the background behind with a thin line to show the detail, or even a fill of the shape.

And they look great, they’re more sophisticated and are also simpler. I also decided to add a few articles, to help increase the size of the book as I don’t want it to seem to thin and small.

I added these articles of things that give us cancer:

1. Retirement
I have demonstrated this through a retirement activity which is knitting for a woman.

2. Wealthy Teens
I demonstrated this through a house with money coming out of the chimney.

3. Energy saving ightbulbs
Demonstrated through a simple light bulb, which i imagine would be positioned as a light bulb at the top of the page.

4. Biscuits
Demonstrated through a simple cookie.

5. Lefthandedness
Shown in the illustrated with a left hand making an ‘L’ shape.

6. Long ring finger
Shown through an extra long right finger on a hand.

7. Night time trip to the toilet
Which i didnt involve in my last illustration collection because the ‘eyes’ I used to demonstrate darkness, were difficult to do in colour, but now as white and on a coloured background works really well.
