Project 6: Poem In Color

In Project 6, we chose a poem that will inspire us to create a pattern. We wrote down key words that were significant to the theme or meaning of the poem. We then drew imagery that represented or demonstrated the word. With that collection of different images, we composed 5 different thumbnail sketches. I combined the ideas of each thumbnail sketch and made my final sketch that will then be transferred into Adobe Illustrator. I decided towards the end to change the format or grid system of the pattern. I made triangle shapes and reflected them to form a diamond argyle pattern. I wanted my poem to have comic book styled art in order to make my piece appear more dramatic and tragic, which mirrored the emotions of the poem I chose. The color palette I developed also induces sad and angry emotions similar to those expressed in the poem. I used different desaturated blue hues along with vibrant reds and yellows.
