I am pleased
to introduce
to you
Miss Haley Daye.
Our first project in my Technical Processes class had us make a 12x18 French Fold of a client we interviewed.
This project taught us the core tool needed in our understanding of working with a client by interviewing a person in our class.
The goals were to visually represent our classmate through icons, symbols, and indexes and creating a design displaying a photo of the person with a number. The number was generated from their birth order in their family.
We used several methods and techniques to achieve the end results.
We gathered a better understanding of the real person through questions provided by our instructor, of course, I added a few of my own. We began going through the questions through email then later the next week in person in class.
There is more to a person's soul then what the naked eye can see.
On top of the information we gathered, we took a scanned object that reflected her love for the impressionist art movement to help with the process.
As for the number in which my client was born. I created what I felt flowed best with my client’s personality through several sketches and ideas and reviewing those sketches with my client as I worked.
Then by using block printing I carved out the number in which they were born
(in my client’s case a ‘2’),
into a linen block.
My client expressed a love for coffee, her sister, school and art such as Starry Night, which I used along with the questions you see below to help with the flow and imagery.
I took some photos of my client that I used as the profile but the most helpful were the photos provided by my client. They were the main component that helped with choosing the colors. The colors used were sampled directly from those photos to create the duotone colors and other colors.
