Final rough ideas for postcards.

 It was really hard to try and find a way to depict the lives the people have under the tunnels.

I am not too sure about these roughs I think that they could be much better.

Thing I want to improve:

  • It took me a while to get to grips with illustrator and creating vectors on it. I have found it really hard to try and make the images not look dead and boring. 
  • Creating the symbols to represent the objects seemed to communicate well in the crit but the objects where typical of a situation like this. They need changing.
  •  The vectors need to be neatened up some are jagged and don't connect well to the other vectors. 
  • The symbol of the skull head doesn't really work eather I need to re think this aswell. 


  • Things I am happy with:
  • I like the pattern and repetition, It works well as an echo but I think it is repeated too much. 
  • The map layout really works and a concept and gives the viewer an idea of what the post cards narrative is. 
  • Colours used are okay and helps the postcards work as a set but they could be better.
Over all I think I really need to have a re think ans perhaps re design all of them. I know that the ideas and patterns can be better. It is just finding a way in which to show these peoples lives and I think I have been overambitious again in my topic choice. I don't feel like I have been able to get absorbed in this project.
