18.05.09 -- Badge designs & finished bookmark

WHAT I HAVE DONE TODAY:

I sketched some ideas for badge designs and introduced some vague washes of watercolour to get a specific idea of what they would look like in a circular format, keeping in mind my research. I picked out a few of these to proceed with and actually turn into badges, and although I originally only wanted three character based designs and a logo, I ended up choosing five character ones and a logo. Like the bookmark, I finished these designs digitally.

I also finished my final bookmark today. First I printed it on normal paper, then cut around it to leave a white border to embolden it. Then I traced and cut around the shape onto thin card and used it as backing to make the bookmark thicker, like the examples I looked at.

WHAT I WILL DO TOMORROW:

I will make my final badges tomorrow, as well as beginning the plans for my modelmaking. To do this I will look at the modelmaker Ray Harryhausen, after reading an article about him in Imagine magazine.
