Assignment 4

For this assignment, we had to incorporate the theme of travel for a postcard. It was especially difficult to finish because of mid sem tests and I had a performance for NUS Arts Fest, so I didn't do a good job on this.

I will definitely redo it. Probably change the whole idea.

Anyway this idea was showing all the capitals/main cities of different countries, and their distances from Singapore.

(and now I realise it's probably more of an infographic than a postcard)

Colour scheme:

The other point was that, i don't have enough elements to use for colour scheme. because the globe for example is the same throughout. and the only colours that I'm changing are the background and the text.

So I totally revamped this assignment and thought of focusing on one country instead. I chose Russia because it has one of the best ballet company's in the world, The Bolshoi Ballet. And I love ballet so I definitely want to go there one day, even though it is freezing cold. And I also love their candy looking buildings at the Red Square, which is why I illustrated them in this postcard.

The illustration was really tedious to do, ESPECIALLY for colour exploration. I started off with a darker background of ballet dancers but it clashed too much, so i lowered the opacity for the others.

So this is it:

This is the chosen one:

I picked red because it is one of the colours of the flag, and also because the building is in Red Square. It really looks like candy from afar!
