Ideas

IDEA ONE.

Here is just a quick few notes and a small thumbnail of an idea that I had after doing some research into the work of the graphic designer David Carson. 

Here is an image that inspired me to put a slight hand drawn aspect to the design.

Idea for the Big Surf cover from '02 designed by David Carson. CD cover and interior spread.

A small section of the Carson image from above.

The hand-drawn part of the idea that I have done a sketch of was inspired from this Carson image. I think that this could work well as a section of the cover and flowing on into the double page spread back drop. I think that the photography and hand drawn combined works really well. I have experimented with it before and using mixed media is something that is always original. 

IDEA TWO.

This was only a second idea sketch. I'm not as keen on this ideas as I am for my first. The bikini and swim shorts do fit well with the theme that I have chosen but I think that it is too obvious and doesn't really show creativity within an idea because the two items are right there in a big format, not really leaving much space. I did this idea quickly thinking I could create something else better from it, I may come back to this in the future, taking certain aspects from this idea to create something better.

IDEA THREE.

This idea is something that I thought of after seeing a VW drive past me on my walk home one evening.  It was a classic VW Camper van that had been renovated and looked in perfect condition. With this idea I want to make a VW on illustrator and recreate one with my choice of colour. I think that the colour I want to use for this idea is neutral colours, I think that this portrays the calm atmosphere that you would associate with the surfing lifestyle. 

IDEA FOUR.

This idea was another thumbnail drawing I had after looking at a few images online from artist called... It is made up of dots. I would like to make an idea of a wave that is created purely from dots and different sizes of dots.
