Revamping Assignment 1 (Part 2)

For the 'Things i like' drawing, i went back to the drawing board thinking of how to improve based on the feedback i got from the tutorial class: namely, 1) how to enable people to understand i like movies and to draw a consistent message from my drawing, 2) how to make Shrek look 'Shreky' enough and 3) to achieve a fair colour and tone balance. Below attached is the drawing i displayed in class.



Original Assignment 1 before revamp

Going back to the drawing board, i decided that Shrek simply does not fit the overall drawing with its genre and its colour tone. I scrapped it and spent 3 hours carefully detailing a John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever. I also reworked some of the minor details in A.I. and Spirited Away to achieve a better balance in size and volume of the artwork.

Initial Revamp of 'Things i like'

Now, comes the question of how i am i going to improve it so that my receiver can fully understand it at one glance. I decided to add more visual cues by providing a background for this drawing, by adding a screen and a backview of a cinema audience are some of the cues that will allow the receiver to understand he/she is in a cinema and that 'movies' is the theme being portrayed.
