OUIL405- Visual Narratives- Inspiration

After creating a vague idea of what I want to produce, I decided to collect images and ideas which I would like to take from for my final book, focussing on the creation of atmosphere in a landscape through the craft of the image.

Michael Cho- Toronto
Someone who I have previously blogged about, Michael Cho is one of my favourite illustrators/ cartoonists. I particularly love the set of images based around Toronto suburbs. I like how Michael uses simple colour pallets, sometimes just one colour and black, to create a feeling around the illustrations. Whether the area is cold, dry, warm, creepy or a happy place, this is always screamed through Michaels use of colour.





The above images were created using watercolour and refined on Photoshop, I love the feel of the images and will try to use some of the techniques in my own work for the current brief.
