Some old stuff (from Christmas). Stylistic experiments with blocking out shapes in vectors and applying layer effects in photoshop. Arranged in order of least to most successful. I’d like to do a very busy intricate poster in this style, but it would take lots of time. Things like this need to be very rigorously designed in order to work well, and for these sketches I was a bit impatient.
In 2011 I resolve to:
1. Read 5 novels.
2. Learn more about bicycle maintenance.
3. Make a 4+ color woodblock print.
This was a gift for my mother for Christmas. She teaches brit lit and is a great Jane Austen enthusiast, so I grew up seeing adaptation after adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion, Emma, etc.
This, however, is from Sense and Sensibility, and as I have never read the book it was influenced strongly by the Oscar-winning 1995 adaptation, scripted by and starring Emma Thompson, directed by Ang Lee, and also featuring Hugh Grant, Kate Winslet, Alan Rickman, and Hugh Laurie.
I understand it differs a lot from the source, but oh well.
