This is my yearbook spread. I chose to use gouache to illustrate this piece because I wanted to achieve a certain affect. This style was inspired by art that The Beatles often used in their album covers or promotions, hence the patterns and blocked matt colours. This visibly shows my love for the Beatles, but it also represents my love for old music and anything from the second half of the 20th century. The ocean and sun have always had a special place in my life, as well as enjoying them from my family’s boat. Our boat is also very old and represents my family background, as my grandpa had a hand in building it in 1969 after he moved to Vancouver from Italy. The entire scene represents me quite well as it includes some of the many significant aspects in my life. I give myself a 9/10 on this project because I put much thought and effort into it and I think it embodies my personality quite well.
