Gift Cards:
Below are the final designs that I submitted, it wasn't until I had them all together like this that I realised just how many of them had a white background. This is not ideal, and made me think that if I were to try and improve them or do this again I would work harder to test out and try different backgrounds and compositions that encourage colour and texture into all of the space.
This came about because will all of them I was so concept driven, I got too tangled up in having well thought out concepts in the imagery. The oner reason for the poorly composed images is that it is still something I struggle with, I'm not sure where to begin and when I do use it I don't like it, or it's flat and to me doesn't seem to add anything. I think however that I can identify after doing this, that I should source secondary opinions from others who do have a good eye and mind for this.The text explains the concept behind each piece
1 Dream 3 Max Richter
The whale embodies the calm, steady nature of the music; the rhythm is like that of a large whale steadily yet powerfully travelling onwards
2. Chvches - Clearest Blue
The imagery encapsulates the tail chasing, push & pull nature of the track highlighted in verse 3. The colours reflect the music's vibrancy.
This aims to convey the fraught, brittle nature of worrying. The translucent skeleton shows the tenderness of baring worries.
4. The Less I know the better
Back to back horses, not looking but they can't resist so they chase hypnotically in a fluid dance like way. (Themes: Evading, wanting.)
5. Imagine - John Lennon
Two horse's mournfully and tenderly reach out to each other, just as the song reaches out to us to consider a world of equality and peace.
6. Dream 3
The images aims to look like the music sounds. The horse gallops in a steady powerful rhythm, the sky peacefully rolls out behind.
John Lennon describes a world which has no differentiation, all can be equal. The altered colours aim to inspire imagining such difference.
