Week 10

I completely forgot about creating mockups so just before class I made some. I would have wanted to do more but I started to run out of storage and kept getting the popup telling me so.

MockUps

Running low on storage so I need to deal with that but I managed to create a couple of mockups before I got the popup message relating to storage. The pages with the ellipses that take up half of the page are the answers to one questions and the full page is all the answers.

My set up
The notes I provided with my code

This idea of using ellipses have been done before so I wanted to take my own spin onto it. I love the use of colours and the promotion of positivity that the colours create.

Left page notes:

  • Create your own hand drawn colours for each letter and save them as individual pngs
  • Do capital letters be different size to the lower case letter?
  • Can you highlight some of the key words?

With the feedback I got, I started working on creating my own letters.

The first thing I did was start to play with different brushes in Procreate. I named them as I used them when I remembered to label them. I wanted a reasonably round brush, I didn’t mind a rough edge as it gives you a more imperfect hand drawn element to it. I also wanted there to be some overlap and with the overlap I wanted to make sure that when the letters overlapped that there was some blending to the different colours. I decided on using the big water brush. To create a more solid and brighter colour I overlapped the letters on top of each other but I knew that if I wanted there to be blending that I can apply.
