Final Proposal

For my final project, I have two ideas. The first idea is to show the impact on one's personal space that a move from city to suburb to rural area can incur. I will show a typical living situation for each type of environment, which will highlight the difference in population density. My other idea is to show the passage of time. I want to draw 3 different hands - one of a baby, one of an adult, and one of an elderly person. Each hand will be holding something that everyone uses, a beverage container. However, I will show how the type of container - as well as the substance in it - changes, as does just about everything in a person's life.  

Examples of Texture

1. Invented Texture: Despite this portion of the image being abstract shapes, there is a sense of texture that is given by the blue lines mottling the green surface.

2. Abstracted Texture: The graphic at the bottom of this book cover attempts to replicate another texture (in this case, leather binding). However, this time it is not made to look photorealistic but merely suggested by the use of color and shading.

3. Actual Texture: In this close-up of my batik assignment, the physical, tangible texture of the canvas on which the image was made is apparent.

4. Simulated Texture: the cover of the book attempts to replicate the look of torn paper, simulating a texture which is not there but can almost be felt by the viewer.
