When creating my designs, I referenced buildings I saw in London. These helped me create a realistic set of buildings that I was then able to warp, allowing for a consistent design throughout my sketches.

I took some screen shots from Assassin's Creed Syndicate to experiment with angles of victorian buildings, focusing on getting references from angles I would not be able to get to in real life. I took screen shots from higher places looking down to inform my design sketches and how they would look.

I found some images and used the image trace function on Adobe Illustrator to create bold, graphic outlines. I then printed these out and created physical collages to colour. I used alcohol markers to add colour. I really liked the monochrome grey piece, as the mix of warm and cool greys allowed me to differentiate surfaces while still looking bare and grimy. I also really liked using blue and green, as this created a very dark and dingy feeling while still being brighter and more interesting than the greys. Overall, I want to use greys with a possible hint of blues and green.

I created some quick sketches testing warping, using my mood board as inspiration.

I image traced my charcoal drawings to see if they create interesting texture like my other pieces. I really like how this came out, with small details being represented clearly that I liked in the original drawing. The best piece was the trees, so I will use this as a reference for my final.

I created a Mood board focused on the industrial revolution and wastelands as this interests me due to the monochromatic styles and dramatic skylines. I looked at landscapes as I believe this is the most recognisable aspect of the industrial revolution. I would like to use this imagery as either a direct comment on industrialisation or as a style to carry other issues like education or anarchy.

# data[].attributes.body
I created a mind map looking specifically into the ideologies of the industrial revolution, as well as the architecture that I could use in my work. I really liked how this helped me map out the different routes I could go down, especially with a broad theme like revolution.

# data[].attributes.body
I made two mood boards to explore both style and theme. The left is stylistic choices, such as aggressive colours like red and yellow to connote danger and urgency. The use of impactful line and large blocks of colour creates a graphic, printed feel, which signifies the work as part of a revolutionary movement. I looked at revolution within LGBTQ+ communities and how this would be represented, and ended up choosing this to create a response on.

I wanted to focus on typography and composition in my poser, so I designed my own title. I wanted to use large, sharp letters to catch the eye as large areas would be blocked out, allowing me to use a darker toned colour to become the focus of the piece. I put one of the 'e's onto of the other to offset the alignment of the text, representing how being queer is perceived as going against societal norms by queer phobic people. I wanted people who looked at 'Guide to life*' to double take, looking for the '*'. This is at the bottom, hiding itself from the title. This mirrors how people who are cishet will say they are not queer phobic, however will still act out in a discriminatory way. They may say all the phrases in the speech bubble, but disguise it as being supportive. I would like to experiment with more colours without changing the tonal scale of the piece, perhaps designing them as a set in the colours of the pride flag. This could expand my design skills by thinking about how each piece interacts with each other.

I used tracing paper to trace many different faces overlapping, creating a large image of faces. I was testing themes of beauty and how many of the women cannot be recognised when in a sea of faces, presenting magazines as removing identity from women. In the end I decided to move away from these themes as I wanted to look into other topics.

I created some sketches developing the composition of my final piece.

I created different spirals with different shapes as a response to the literal theme of 'revolving'. This is an interesting concept, focusing on the revolution of art and using maths and fractals rather than realism.

# data[].attributes.body
I created some artwork to experiment with materials and ideas of physical revolution. This helped me decide on what materials I would like to experiment with further as well as different techniques I can use to push for my desired texture.

# data[].attributes.body
I created a mood board of natural spirals found in nature to help me visualise the natural aspects of the theme. I really like the different textures and how almost other worldly nature looks. I am interested in landscapes, so using spirals in foliage may be interesting and add physical revolution to my pieces.

I created a mind map focussing on the literal movement of revolving, and different subjects I could include I my responses. This helps me branch out and look at different interpretations that I can explore further.

I created a political piece using collage to mimic the style of revolutionary collage used in the 70s. I used a various images to create a character, however I did not finish this as it took a long time to edit each piece and I did not want to work in this style. Although it was good to experiment with different mediums, I couldn't represent my chosen aspects of revolution as easily in with digital collage as I felt I have less control.

# data[].attributes.body
After reviewing my work, I have decided I want to look at how political violence can cause people to be silenced. I want to represent this through having an empty street with signs of people trying to speak out, however they are locked inside. I want to work posters and bars into my work, showing how people in power can physically restrain you from speaking out.

I looked into how the modern day revolution of ai art and how some advances in technology can be detrimental to others. I generated some art and chose pieces that interested me due to the stylistic choices made in them.

I used the prompt “against ai art”, and the image generated was ai being against real art. This is surreal as the ai seems as if it has agency and that it wants to protest art, even though it is j

I looked into the themes and messages to Dada and the movement's work.

I took some photos focusing on architecture and the angles of buildings. Although this is not victorian, I still find them useful to practise perspective and understanding how planes warp.

I had a discussion with one of my teachers and gained some new inspiration and goals to reach.

I created physical responses in watercolour, charcoals, pencils and digitally. These were to practice each medium to choose which one I liked the most, as well as creating artist responses. These informed me which medium I would like to use going forwards. I want to use charcoals, as I can get very fine details and only 2-3 tones in my work, which will image trace nicely in Illustrator.

These were quick 3 minute sketches from images on the internet to practise copying forms and to warm up my wrist.

After reviewing my artist research and perspective work, I felt like my work could be lacking and this would create a boring piece. After looking at my visual pieces and rereading my work, I decided I wanted to move away from some of the realism and create warped buildings that seem to move and change. This would cater to my own more cartoony style, as well as letting me play around with interesting composition to differentiate my work. I want to create some quick responses to ensure I enjoy this style.
