Turn your lights down low development 1

My main objective this brief was to use a different form of media especially as the songs i chose have a real flavour to them, not a computer/mechanical made look.

I chose todo water colour because of this picture..

This is so good that i had to try water colour, i realise it isnt water colour but when i first saw it i did and then i looked at other waer colours and i had to do a design with them.

I did some rough sketch first but they arent scanning very well (if your the tutor reading this they are in my folder i gave in with this).

The start of my creation..

The shape of the design is linked with how to song fades in and then fades out, the design fades in, gets bigger then fades out.

The thoughts so far is that because Bob starts he should be on the left then Lauryn kicks in so shes on the right. The middle part with the people is something i found when looking at love designs.

In my mind i wanted parts of the song in image form e.g. " This potion might, (Uh)this ocean might (Uh) carry me (Uh)" would be a picture of a potion bottle and waves. to fade in and out thoughout the design but i just couldnt get what i wanted on paper, you can see where i tried and i will be keeping them in. The speakers where an experiment but im not keeping them due to them not being in the mellow love vibe i want.

I got to this and then i got designers block, i couldnt think of anything to do next, nothing looked right and so i left it and did the Sun is shining design.
I uploaded it and i think i went wrong with the water colour i wasnt happy with it at all, it was really bright but with some tweaking i got to this..

The colour theme looks much better, the background is a paper texture i found and because of the mellow vibe i wanted i love it. The tribal/art noveau style vector on the edges i came up with when i was thinking something was missing, i then looked back at my research (http://www.jessemillerart.com/graphic%20page.html) i combined that with my new vision of a storybook and fairytale love therefor i looked at a few of them and ended up with this. I stretched the design to fit the 24"x12" design but i may change this back to normal size.
