First Trial (post#7)

Today, I've sort of plan how I'm going to bring all the images (of London's iconic things) together (please look through my sketchbook to see my ideas). Hopefully when I finish, it will be easy to decide the sorts of visual style I'm going to use for each of them.

MY FIRST TRIAL

This is going to be a mural, therefore I think it would be a good ides if its size is quite big.
For my mural, I've decided to have the dimension of 60cm x 30cm. 

This illustration is just my first trial, so at the moment, it's not that good. Here I've just randomly posterized, desaturate, live traced some of the London's iconic things, only just to give a preview of how my mural is going to be like. And as you can see, I haven't put much attention to the way that I've blended these images together.For example the bus looks slightly dissolving and the telephone box is sort of fading in into the background. This is because first, I want to know first if my arrangement of these images is ok. Once I confirmed that it's ok, then that's the time when I'm going to sensibly blend them all together and plan which of these images are going to be a drawing, a photograph, a vector etc.

As much as possible, for this mural, I don't want to alter much of the images that got red colour on them, because for my design, I want red to stand as the prominent colour.

If I'm being honest, at first, I don't want my design to appear busy because I'm thinking that maybe it might not be able to deliver the idea if the design is jam packed of things. But I think for this instance, it would work. It would sort of saying how busy London is. It got theatre (this is the reason why I got picture of that lady there), it got tradtion, culture etc. I am also thinking of using images of famous celebrity (if I could) who are London based (i.e. Daniel Radcliffe). I think that would really appear to the target audience as most of the 18 to 24 year olds are found of celebrities. But this is just an idea. I don't know, at the moment, if I'm allowed.
