2 really interesting artists that use limited colour palettes in their prints:
Eliza Southwood
I admire the composition of the image, and her really nice colour palette. Also the way she has used clouds in the background to help create a skyline is really effective, and a technique I may have to use in my final 2 colour prints.
Tom Clohosy Cole
I love the subtle use of texture and the black and white against the orange.
Concertina Research
Upon deciding to create a Concertina book for my final outcome, I had a look at some existing ones that have been illustrated. I really wanted to gain a sense of what a concertina could be and how I would be able to push the boundaries of my book to make an interesting and fresh product.
'Up My Street' by Louise Lockhart
- A really distinctive product, using the shape of the book to actually help tell the story. I think the colours are really nice and the textures created by what appears to be screen print add a real sense of authenticity. The product has also been presented using a belly band to hold it together, which I think makes the product look that little bit more finished and professional.
Natalya Balnova
- An example of how two colour screen print has been used in the context of a concertina book. I think that the colours used look really striking, and the varying ratio of black to blue on each page keeps the book new and exciting to look at. This example is also effective for showing various ways colours can be introduced into the imagery, for example, through using half tones etc.
'Space Race' by Tom Clohosy Cole
- A stunning piece of illustration by one of my favourite artists. The full bleed compositions really seem to immerse you in the story, and I think that the colours are so effective. Throughout the book, each image is interlinked which tells the story in a more unique yet submersing way, almost forcing the viewer to look at every aspect of each image to make sense of the story.
