Design for digital media BRIEF - Task 1, Print

For creating my montage I have used index visual sign that requires particular knowledge in mythology to read it correctly. As a basis for this picture I have took myth about Samson. Who had all his power in his hairs. Also I have worked out variant that somebody wouldn’t be familiar with that myth, for this case I put down the short prompt explaining the meaning of the picture.
I think that I have managed to save the style on the whole brochure I have produced. I mean that shapes of font well match the line style in the illustrations.
For this montage I have used five different medias – photography (Canon EOS 350), calligraphy (ink and pens), vector (illustrator) and raster graphics (photoshop). And in the end I put all this things together and created four pages layout in Quark.
I think that I have managed to achieve desirable result and final piece looks approximately I have expected. Except little defects made by printer. You may see little spots of black ink in some areas. The only thing that I haven’t put into account is paper quality, I wish it would more weight.
By the beginning I wanted to include some 3D objects to my montage. But research showed that I haven’t got enough skills to achieve desirable result. So I have decided do not include any 3D elements.
I have planned time well and managed to submit my piece within deadlines. It was good experience to get familiar with general project management and process of producing the work. Software and hardware inductions and lectures helped me a lot to achieve the target.

This is ink sketch for the face you see on the print. I have made live trace to create vector object.


The work is done! And here you can read the comments left by classmates.
