7 x 7 and reflection 3


This image is a part of a mini project I've just finished titled "women are strong". This has been a part of my continued work on the me too movement where Ive come up with a concept of women being physically strong which is a visual metaphor of women being mentally strong. 

This is one of my favourite images I've made so far. Everything that builds up this image, the line quality, the colour palette and the simplistic shapes, it just appears extremely visually appealing and is successful in conveying the message that women are strong. My process has stayed quite consistent of sketching my ideas in my sketch book to then move onto turning it into vectors through illustrator. I definitely want to start including some more hands on methods within my work such as painting, because I love seeing the finalised outcome right on your page. I've really enjoyed this mini project and I've found that by exploring different concepts within my work it is allowing me to go down so many different pathways. 

I'm now starting to consider how I can tie all of my images together. Im currently researching different types of publications that will enable me to showcase all of my finalised images - I think this will be a good idea as the publication itself could perhaps hold all of the information Ive researched and then the visual responses I have created. The publications purpose will not only raise awareness and educate the viewer but it will also share the journey of my visual language.

Up to now I feel like i've bene managing my time really well but theres so many ideas I keep generating and I'm eager to complete them all. I know it will be difficult getting the publication ready before the deadline but I'm definitely wanting to execute the idea before the end of year show.
