In this first assignment, I focused on a fun and interactive breakfast spread to feature different elements that I enjoy eating and which can visually enhance the text.
I have composed this spread using gouache to achieve a clean and colorful background for my text while having the freedom to draw illustrative components as well. In terms of layout, all the items are at an angle down towards the right to create movement. I also incorporated a variety of text styles and fonts to fit the size of the items I was covering and the message I wanted to convey.
Self Assessment: 9.5/10- I gave myself this mark because I spent a lot of time planning and executing this painting. My main concern is the busyness of the layout, but this spread shows who I am, and I am proud of what I have accomplished.
