Visual Language - Frame

Me, A butterfly & an Elephant.

• We had to produce a composition that included ourselves, an elephant and a butterfly.
• It had to be drawn in black drawing ink only.
• The aim of the task was to try and produce a composition that was totally unique.

• I struggled finding a unique composition, all my roughs seemed to work there way outside of the frame.

• I then started to consider the foreground and background. This enabled me to fit all my components on the page.
• I came up with the idea to but me in the background pointing towards the elephant.
• This was a simple and effective decision that gave a surprisingly balanced composition.
• I like how it shows importance toward the elephant and butterfly interacting. 
• The slanted floor also works as a line of sight that works with figure.

Final design:

Im quite pleased with the design. I think I found an interesting composition that involves an unusual perspective. I feel like my application of ink could use some improvement. The ground looks scruffy and unclean. I think I would have had a better outcome if I had considered using more tonal images. I think the composition fills the page in a balanced way. The way that the figure is pointing towards the elephant and the butterfly helps to lead your eyes towards it. The butterfly has sort of become the important object, the way that the others fit around it and it is fairly centred.
