I came to a bit of a mind block and wasn't really sure of what I was doing and where I really wanted to go. But mainly just wanting to know if what I was doing was actually any good. I didn't want to carry on aimlessly just for the sake of generating work but for it to not be very relevant and just a waste of time.
But after talking to Teresa, she told me to look at the artist Arcimboldo. This helped me a lot, because I think my concept wasn't bad, but I needed to try and work more with the objects to mould into facial structures to make it obvious that it is a face. Also by working bigger (A2?) this will make it clearer.
So I went out of my comfort zone and took home some A2 paper.

I made the author's face first just using shapes to see what direction and size that works best to create a facial structure. This helped a lot, as it turned into a guide for my first proper design.
I'm really happy with how this turned out. I think it's visually quite exciting, as there's loads of different elements to look at and it's clear what author I have chosen. But I want to see if I can try and make the elements mould more into the facial shape. And also because I want to turn it into a screen print, I'm going to have to think about how to simplify it down and not over complicate with line work.
