Brainstorm

Its two weeks into our project and ideas are firing up. Our group members have come up with various different sketches delivering different themes. Some included rural barns and farms, while others presented fun facts and the manufacturing process of wool. Our teachers wished to incorporate and merge the designs together, not to waste any one of our concepts. Here are the sketches:

This cow depicts the process of wool manufacturing:
1) Shaving
2) Scouring
3) Carding
4) Combing
5) Drawing
6) Spinning
7) Dyeing
8) Weaving/Knitting


The picture is in the form of a cartoon because it will help the public,especially kids to better understand the process. The bright colours and bold outlines will hopefully draw attention.

My inspirations into designing the cow were simple yet effective. It had to have plenty of detail yet it had to be something everyone was capable of doing. The small and neat detail is carried out from the houses to the buildings as not one corner is not decorative. The use of a variety of colours makes it appealing to the eye and from different viewing points its attention to detail is evident. The overall design was a team effort and everyone got to have a say and input into the final design.

The inspiration for my sketch just came from anything really like everyday life and country life.  I thought of a way to bring the urban and rural together with the bridge as it brings the two more close together. Also in my design I  incorporated the process of making clothing and anything else that's  made out of wool. On the bridge would be the 3 ABC reporters who died in that tragic helicopter crash. Paul Lockyer was among the 3 men who died and was well known for bringing the urban and rural divide together and one of his coworkers said that "he was the one who brought the urban and rural together as one". I also had on the urban side billboards on buildings and the ones you see on the side of the road and on them I have written facts about the wool, sheep, and the rural life. I have really enjoyed doing this and I am glad to see that some of my ideas were used in the design of the cow for example the bridge was my idea of a way to bring the rural and urban divide together. So I thank you and everyone who has been involved in this for giving us this opportunity.
