For this assignment I tried to find a concept that most accurately represented myself for the yearbook spread. Some of my first concept included pasting origami stars or fish around the spread. In the end, I felt that pressed flowers best reflected myself in both my hobby of gardening and love of plants. In this assignment, I used watercolour to texture and colour the entire page, pencil for the illustrations and words and lastly pressed flowers from my garden. Doing mixed media and traditional like this is new to me because I’m a very digital centric creator typically. I chose to try to sketch the five words in different fonts to make the words more expressive and stand out. If I were to rate my work, I would give myself an 8/10, two marks off because I didn’t give myself time to play with more textures like newsprint to give a more field journal look. I also am unsatisfied with my messy handwriting.
