My Yearbook Spead

Yearbook Spread by Chelsea W.

The yearbook spread I created, was made with watercolour, sharpie, and a small use of markers, on mixed media paper. I love working with multimedia, using what I have available to me in whichever workspace I have. Even when there are dried out markers I would still use them for the difference in texture. In the centre of my spread is the self-portrait of myself, done with watercolour, the pose is fun, bubbly, and has an openness to it, trying to portray myself being ready to take on the toughest things life throws at me in the most positive way. The intermediate blues, reds, and yellows I use are my favourite main colours to work with. They each contrast and balance each other out so well, it’s pleasing to the eye. I mentioned that I would love to be born in the ’80s, for the style, colours, and fun poping designs. I attempted to pull those characteristics through my piece as the theme. Despite the current (organized) mess on my desk, I had a lot of fun creating this work.
