Illustration Development

My Illustrations

I decided to make hard copies of my illustrations to go with my own personal style, I started by collecting images which related to certain topics of Victorian Entertainment. Things like magazine cuttings as well as found images on the internet has been used to create these backgrounds for which my illustrations are going to be put on-top of. As you can see in the image below I created 4 collages to reflect each event which is going to be at the British Library event.

Once I had created these backgrounds in my sketchbook, they were photographed and put into Photoshop. This is so that I can edit them ready to be placed into my e-Brochure. When editing my images I fiddled with different layers, opacity as well as the brightness and contrast. I like to use a mix of both digital and hand made work, I feel that this works well with my e-brochure because it makes it feel more authentic.
