Using one of my collaged designs, I scanned this in and started messing around with the composition and colour palette on photoshop. I settled on this final design - at the end of the issuu document. I think this works really well to portray the content/message of the song - being active in bringing about social change. The young children in the photograph I think underline the importance of the role of the younger generation in bringing about change in the world. Something I have also achieved in this, which I really like, is a very bold colour palette that still works cohesively together. I would like to improve my use of multiple colour in my illustrations, as I often limit myself to only 2 or 3.
In evaluation of this final design, however, I am not really happy with leaving it as a digital print. Editing it through photoshop also means I have lost a sense of the handmade collaged elements - which I really like...Now I know exactly the composition I would like I think I am going to make a to scale final design using cut paper. Maybe this could become a new process for me - to arrange things digitally to get a hold of my composition and then remaking my designs using handmade materials.
