For my yearbook spread, I knew right off the bat that it would be inspired by Ancient Greek art. In class, we discussed heritage, and so I wanted to dive into my own for this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used mainly black fine liners for the art and text on my spread, because ever since I was young, I\u2019ve loved comic books, specifically black and white ones with strong, expressive and intricate black outlines. I tried to capture my love for design in this spread, specifically the balancing act of placing elements in a harmonic arrangement to one another. I tried to stay visual with the prompts, as in Ancient Greek art even the most complicated of battles were depicted on vases, often with minimal text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

References to the things I love, like my cat, clouds, the sun and Greek architecture are peppered on the left half of the spread. The temple pillar on the left is specifically a Corinthian style pillar – this style represents young women, so I chose it as a reflection of me at this point in my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The different elements on my spread are often very carefully drawn and well separated from one another. The colors are flat and strong. This is a good introduction to my style as an artist, as I love to incorporate white space, many details and an overload of information into my pieces, all while trying to keep each element unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would give myself an 8\/10. Unfortunately, the illustrations on the right get lost in the background, especially with the bright white vase pulling all the attention to it. That right there cost me a point. Then, I would take a point off for messiness of the spread. Although I intentionally roughened up the paper to make it seem older and give it a bit of depth (it was supposed to imitate the values of an old Greek vase) it just looks\u2026dirty. That effect doesn\u2019t land well, and I find myself being pulled to the edges of the piece in a distracting manner due to their prominence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All in all, I still put a lot of work into this and am quite happy with the outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
