Today our lecturer put together a presentation to show us the kind of artists we should be looking into for our project. The artists they showed us have simplistic and witty designs, they recommended looking more into them as they might be a good influence on our work.
Paul Garland (best known for his Fashion Illustration,) Corita Kent also known as Sister Mary Corita Kent (best known for her role in the Pop Art movement,) and Sara Fanelli (best known for her children's picture books.)
I created some design sheets and some mock ups of some potential designs, so that my client could get a good idea of what kind of trees/forest I was creating for them. I made 5 different designs of stylised trees.
1. My first idea was to create something simplistic that is eye catching yet fun at the same time, I created a small background, with a tree silhouette in front.
2. My second idea was to focus more on the trees themselves, and rather than have the trees as they appeared to be, I created an them to where they are swirling and curving around. The idea came from when I think about trees, I imagine them swaying in the wind and being free. Having them form into swirly trees.
3. My third idea was an overprinting of numerous trees, the influence came from looking a forests and seeing how cloudy and mysterious they are during dark nights. Also trying to find different pathways in between the trees, made me look closer and gain further interest to the image, which is what I was going for in my illustration.
4. Fourthly, I took some magazines and inverted the pages with patterns on to give it a lighter feel, I then cut out the magazines into tree-like figures, and placed them together to make it look like a stylised tree.
5. For my last design sheet, I used small dots using pen and paint experimenting with the different kinds of ways dots can be formed. The most effective way was to use pen. All trees on this page are made from dots (also known as pointillism.)

1. My first idea was to create something simplistic that is eye catching yet fun at the same time, I created a small background, with a tree silhouette in front.
I decided not to take this design any further, because it doesn't fit the brief, I feel as if these designs focused more on the background rather than the tree.

The idea came from when I think about trees, I imagine them swaying in the wind and being free. Having them form into swirly trees.
I took this design forward because I liked how the trees were represented, and I feel as if my client from Hay would like them just as much as I did.

Also trying to find different pathways in between the trees, made me look closer and gain further interest to the image, which is what I was going for in my illustration.
I chose to take this idea forward because the effectiveness of the trees changing transparency makes it looks like a forest and thats the effect I want on my banner.

I did not take this design forward because I feel that it won't work as effective as some of my other designs, especially as they will be enlarged onto a banner.
