WK 4: 22/02/16

On my days in college this week I mainly planned, did research and sketchbook work. I had discussions with the tutors and tried to follow their feedback.

One good thing from Monday was deciding on a poster style I like and could take forward, which is from the 1940s and 50s. My dad has some books on film posters so I planned to look through them this week for ideas. I also looked at different types of media I could use and experimented with these. I realised this would be an area which would be decided on when actually doing final designs.

Most of this week I have spent on secondary research and sketchbook work.

On Saturday and Sunday my dad and brother helped me with some primary research using photography as a basis for observational drawings. My brother and I posed as Arthur/Lancelot and Guinevere and my dad took some photos.

My brother did a few poses as Merlin such as when on the TV Series he holds his hand palm outward when using magic.  I took these photos and will use them towards my observational drawing. At the moment the ones of my brother and I will probably be used for poster 2 or 3. The ones of my brother I took I will probably use for poster 1 as all my initial ideas keep going back to Merlin as the main character for this particular poster.

I also watched Merlin for ideas for further photography images and made a plan of work which I needed to keep up with such as my blog (I found this hard to keep up with as I find it boring).

On Sunday I got up to date with paperwork and planned for the following week.
