Week 8: Sketches 2

These are three different variations of my previous five sketches. I made these by using my similar ideas but adding more detail to better understand exactly what I was trying to communicate. The necessary steps in making these were fairly simple. First I picked out my three favorite sketches from the original five in which I drew. Next, I added more detail and changed a few things. In the first sketch of all the radios, instead of putting an actual radio station, I put X's. I also made one of them have 88.3 with a smiling face which is supposed to be the speaker part of the radio. For the second sketch, I added more detail to the prisoner himself and also to the prison.  In my next version of this sketch the prison in which he is escaping from will actually be a radio. This will relate more to the slogan, "The Escape from Ordinary Radio." For the third sketch I made the man escaping from the plane larger while the parachute has 88.3 very large and bold. The plane is smaller and has a broken wing to suggest that the man was escaping from a broken or crashing plane. In the next version of this sketch, the plane will be a radio so it relates more to the slogan as well. For the first sketch, I arranged things this way because I wanted to make all the radios similar except one, which has 88.3 as their station. I am controlling the viewer’s eye by drawing their attention to the one radio that has 88.3 on. For the second sketch, I made sure that it was obvious that the person was escaping but could hear the music from 88.3 playing. I am controlling the viewer’s eye by making it clear that it is a prisoner who is escaping. I think that the way I drew the prisoners escape route makes the viewer follow him until the end where he reaches the radio. For the third sketch, I arranged things this way because I wanted to make it look like the man is escaping the plane. I also wanted to make it seem as if the music was in the water from the 88.3 station. I am controlling the viewer’s eye by making the parachute large so their attention is drawn to the station on it. These are sketches for a radio station. It means that these are my ideas and images I think connect to their slogan.  I think that my images are saying “The Escape from Ordinary Radio.”
