To clarify, when I refer to my design framework, I am speaking about the process I undertake when planning a piece of artwork. This is a key element that I must work on as without a good foundation the final outcome can never be to it's full potential.
This area also established the visual style of the piece. Seeing as one of my main aims is to create a unique, yet appealing visual style it is very important that I work on this process.
In order to improve my design framework I must first establish what it currently is. Below is a check-list of the points I consider when planning art at the moment. It makes use of what I have learned about design principles and elements so I feel it is already quite comprehensive.
- Reference Material
- Composition
- Colour Palette
- Line (width, colour, texture, shape)
- Shape (colour, texture)
- Texture
- Shading and shadows
