Week 8: Concept Drawings

Craft

Pencil on paper.

Concept

The concept behind this drawing that depicts "the escape from ordinary radio" shows a rather generic and old radio to represent the ordinary radio. The jail cell doorway is opened to represent the "escape" and the whimsical radiowaves, notes, and radiotower that are showing escaping form the cell represent the depiction of extraordinary radio.

Composition

The compositon is arragned so that the ordinary radio is the first thing noticed and that is achieved by the detail of the knobs and speaker. The concentric circles of the knobs and general closeness of the ordinary radio to the viewer grab the attention first. Then the sharp angle of the radio and the jail doors lead the viewer the "escape" and finally the radiowaves that emit from the cell lead the viewer to the rest of the extraordinary radio above.

Concept

The concept that represents "the escape from ordinary radio" here is a rocket ship, representing the escape, blasting off, leaving the ordinary radios making up a skyline, and then traveling to extraordinary radio made up of giant speakers with soundwave in space. This takes two things that are typically known to be ordinary and extradordinary and illustrates them as radio. The skyline made up of the old radios it the everyday, whereas the planet, made up of a giant speaker with soundwaves, to look like a planet with rings, is the out of this world.

Composition

The first thing noticed is the skyline because it is cluttered with detail. The rocket then draws the eye up into the space scene. It reads from ordinary to escape to extraordinary.

Concept

The concept for "the escape from ordinary radio" here is escaping form the claws of the ordinary radio towers via a lifeline in the form of headphones from the extraordinary radio.

Composition

It puts the viewer in first person, and the ordinary radio towers are noticed first then the arm and then the headphones.
