Assignment:
Digital Illustration of Abraham Lincoln including background graphics.
Craft:
Process- I used the "Patriotic Lincoln" version of my illustration to move on to this draft of the project. I used a wavy American flag for the background of the illustration to play up the patriotic aspect of the illustration. I also added the white house to the background of this illustration and added a microphone close to Abe and three picketing signs protesting slavery as well.
Technique- I enhanced some of the details of Lincoln, including the colors on his face and adding more detail to his hair. I also changed up his eyes in order to make them pop from the color usage of his jacket. The added details of the white house, microphone, and signs add a lot to this illustration because people will now be able to percieve a story from the illustration rather than just Abe's body that was in my first few drafts.
Composition:
Since I chose to move on with my "Patriotic Lincoln" illustration I needed to add images that symbolized his patriotism for his country. I chose to use watered down colors of reds and blues for the flag in the background in order for Lincoln to still stand out from the background of the flag. I placed the picketing signs down below because I wanted to display the message that the people were trying to send without showing them because I wanted Lincoln to be the only person in the illustration. I included the white house in the illustration because that one of the icons of the president and also an icon of Lincoln's patriotism.
Concept:
I wanted the illustration to display the message that Lincoln was giving a speech to his country about ending slavery. I wanted this speech to take place in front of the white house with the American flag in the background to display another aspect of patriotism. Even though microphones were not invented until after Lincoln's time and there was probably not a lot of picketing that went on around that time, I wanted to give this illustration more of a modern feel while displaying the message of "Patriotic Lincoln."
