Through this semester I think my tastes in artworks I draw inspiration from have changed but not drastically, mostly due to the use of colours. I know I like subtle colours and minimalist designs as I find it more visually interesting when there is a lot of negative space in a layout or piece of work because it draws more attention to the forms or the use of media, and it gives space to the text to be read and viewed clearly when necessary. I think my interest in more colourful works has actually happened because of my photography module, I always tend to prefer using black and white for my own work and find it looks better in others’ since it looks cleaner. When sets or collections of work need to be seen together, if they are in black and white it looks much more cohesive however now I find that the use of colour doesn’t have to take away from that. In terms of composition, I do still prefer the look of more minimal work, but I do like when things are organised to look chaotic or organic. A lot of the work I selected highlights interests of mine such as books or movies and how they fit with graphic design and maybe inspire things I am working on at the time, they also reflect my interest in combining different medias which is something I don’t really do but find really visually interesting and it makes me want to experiment with similar things somehow in my own work or ideas I expand on in my own time. In my work on both my main course and practical module this semester I have found out that I like fine art styles work best when it is carefully composed and feels balanced but is also vibrant and enchanting, and with other areas I am interested in like photography and graphic design I like utilising simple designs and paying careful attention to the negative space while still trying to incorporate organic elements to my work that I have less control over so as to not be to perfectionist as I feel this is something I struggle with that often impairs ideas I have.
