Case Study 1 Overview (Stand Alone Design)
in this case study, we will look at standalone illustration that uses complex of shapes here. You can see a few examples. This type of graphic is good for local design, poster design and you can use the same concept for creating typography based design and so on. If you look at these examples, you can see each images consist of series of shapes in variety, but not one particular shape stands out. Everything should work as one big single image. That is the advantage of this type of image I call it stand alone design. It means that when you compose this type of illustration, it is important to pay attention to especially hierarchy and the focal point. Otherwise you will lose the sense of standalone image. Instead, you might end up creating separation within the design or the image would just become confusing. This was a concert poster design project for the band director. During the concept development. A few aspects inspired me to come up with this design. The band name Rector was named...
after a cartoon character. So I wanted to create a character based design but I didn't want to recreate the dinosaur character. They took the name from the sound style was big consideration to the design. The music could be described as techno, digital and pop. So I wanted to express an electric field of the music. A robot natural came up as an idea. I also wanted to make the character somewhat vintage look again because of their music style. It's not a very serious sound, but rather on pop side stylization was also inspired by the music, and I focused on the world digital. And rather than make a physical robot character, I was imagining more of a character who can only appear on screens, just like the digital numbers are broken into separate shapes. I thought of the entire character as a series of different shapes to capture the idea of digital numbers.
