Design Principles

    Contrast and Emphasis My idea for contrast was meant to be simple yet effective, inspired from imagery that I've drawn and basing the whole emphasis of this piece on one of my DnD characters that I have written and played as throughout the whole of last year. Initial Sketch Initially, I wanted to create a partial view of the sword almost as if it is lying down on the ground, in the same vein that when someone is disarmed and dropping their weapon to the ground.     Initial Piece I then added the blood stains to signify the violence this character has gone through and to contrast the sword and blood with the bright pink background. However, I did not proceed with this piece, mainly due to the lack of impact that can showcase said violence and the general composition being too simplistic.   I took inspiration from a piece that is tied to the video game, ULTRAKILL. The sharpness and bold contrasting colours would fit perfectly with this piece.   My Inspiration
