Brief 5 DR ME
The Brief DR ME came in for a day to give three tasks which were on a short time scale and based on the way they work as well as the type of work that they create.

Brief 5 DR ME
Visual Research Since the vinyl was going to be a collage, I looked at imagery that reminded me of the mix. There were a lot of nature related sounds within the song which provided me with inspiration for the imagery, looking at plants, trees and water to reflect that. There was also the Duga 3 transmitter which has a clear hexagonal shape, giving me something to work with there.

Vinyl From an aerial view, a duga 3 transmitter is a hexagonal shape. This shape is prevalent in the artwork, and each hexagon represents the many layers of the song. Different images such as the sea, jungle and instruments were used as well as various brushes, blends and opacities to create an abstract image that reflects the variety of music in the mix.

Poster The second brief was to create a poster for the band Odonis Odonis. A clean and simple use of typography was paired with an abstract and textured background created on Photoshop for a big contrast that would stand out and be readable to people. It is quite abstract to reflect the music that would be played.

Self Initiated For the self initiated task, I decided that I would take the opportunity to practice the illustration style that I prefer. I looked at reference images in this particular textured, midcentury style so I could recreate something with the right effect. One thing I noticed that I like is antropomorphic illustrations, which I carried through within this task.

Self Initiated The third task was to create anything 2D within the dimensions of 23x16cm. A sun was created on Photoshop using two different brushes and clipping masks. I decided to create this to continue to learn how to use Photoshop tools and give myself a very short timescale (10 minutes) to create something in this textured style that I like to use.
