Baubles 2

For the second set of baubles, I took inspiration from my sticker designs. Unfortunately I couldn't make stickers, but I still wanted to take the designs forward as I did really like them. 

So, taking them as inspiration, I made a digital design idea for a set of baubles. I took inspiration from Pinterest images of St Bernards, and people editing images of their pets with hearts and colour. I decided to take the colour from an instagram image I was, a beautiful soft pink. Then, adding the popular slogan 'Santa paws' and a paw drawing. I loved the design, however when referring back to the baubles I quickly realised that Buck was too detailed for me the paint. So, taking reference photos from social media once again, I decided to wing it on the baubles with no background to see how it would look. I decided to find different body and face poses of St Bernards and paint them on, wanting to challenge myself. 
After painting in the colours and outlining the designs in black, I decided I really liked the designs and moved on with this idea. Although I quickly came to the realisation that I would have to do something different with the backgrounds, as I had painted the main piece on first. I quickly remied this, however, by painting the inside of the baubles the nice pink colour, as the baubles I bought split in half. This was a wonderful way of filling the background whilst leaving the design untouched. I decided to keep the 'Santa Paws' and paw design by adding it to the other side of the baubles. I had more trouble than I had initially anticipated for the text, as it was slim and very hard to make look sleek and elegant. However, with patience and time I managed to get it to a satisfactory level.

Overall, I'm really happy with the outcomes of each bauble, however I would definitely develop this further by redesigning some areas and adding the Santa hats to the dogs. I would also spend more time perfecting the text as to clean it up a lot more.

Product Posters & Prints For the A5 prints and A3 posters, I knew I had to create multiples to a high standard if I wanted a chance of selling my work. So, I began by taking in normal sketchbook paper to print onto, as to not risk the use of my expensive print paper. Im glad I did this, as I had many print outs that came out dull or wrong. While I was aware this could partly be because of my choice of paper, I played around with the printer settings on both the printer and photoshop, as to understand the problem and fix it. However, looking at a few of the different/dull prints,      I ended up really liking some of them. The grey scale change between the prints below, for example, were beautiful and created an interestingly different atmosphere to the environment. Some of these dull prints I decided to keep and still sell, particularly after a few peers made compliments on their appearance. I decided to keep 4 in total, two of each roping design that match and are 'l...
