Looking back at previous projects and the feedback that I have received based on my design boards, I now know that I need to develop my boards to look more professional and appropriate to my theme. This first board was inspired by the black cut out card on the first page of my sketchbook, inspired by geometric shapes. I decided cut out black card using stencils and a scalpel to achieve a high quality result. I then took my developed illustrations and applied them to my board, weaving the illustrations, wherever appropriate through the black card, which I would then stick to the white card. Black card looks better on the white instead of the opposite, as black card gives a higher quality finish and I found that white becomes tacky very easily.
This board is another idea for a design board. I decided to take a different approach, by cutting up black card evenly on the guillotine, before sticking it to my board in even sections. To stick down items to my board, instead of using a glue stick, I have used spray mount in a spray booth, as it gives a more professional finish and prevents any messy glue marks on the card. I then took a stencil and drew several different shapes onto my board, shading using 2B and 4B artist pencils, to give an effective 3D effect. I also created a rough idea of a logo in the bottom corner, however I decided against this as I think that a creative font would be more appropriate. If I decide on this board to be my final idea, I will develop it further.
This idea is another development of my final design boards. I have used geometric shapes, which are very fitting to my theme, to create a bold statement. I have used black felt pen to shade the shapes onto white card, making sure to not create any patchy areas, which was difficult. The pen also bled easily onto the white areas. I think that this board is bold and fits my theme well, however, if I were to use it, I would need to cut out black card using a scalpel to create a more desired effect.
