A Day in the Life: Format Experimentation

On Monday Fred posed a very interesting question. Who had actually thought about the format of the images when we were developing our work from the brief given? I hadn't. I hadn't gave it the slightest thought. How would the format change affect my image? I've gotten so used to drawing in A format.

So we got two A2 sheets of paper and cut them into 16 equal sized pieces each. We then drew a series of images.

I then made a second series, thinking more about how format can compliment my work.

I then tried to simplify my designs to use basic imagery to convey a message.

Finally I changed the angle of the format I was working with the see if that changed anything.

The imagery worked so much better from this angle. I must remember that when making designs its integral I consider the format from the start of the project. I have until next Monday to develop my work and produce a finished product to be critiqued.
