Post all 3 concept boards on blog explain which board communicates your concept & why

This is my Collage Board. It conveys a couple of concepts, the domes, the arctic environment and the clear ice as glass windows. However I don’t find it at all engaging and there aren’t many design principles present to take away from.

This is my creative board, definitely the board I’ll take inspiration from, I put the most amount of work into this and it has the most I can take out of.

The Inuit child represents the native land and it’s people. Having her blend into the ice communicates the way that Inuit was part of the land and the way that the arctic formed them.

The Ice has micro level aspects with the glistening jagged lines and speckled appearance. It also frames the wider landscape, alluding to the nature of the atmosphere in the arctic. This is also communicated with the stark sunlight and dancing, soft lights of the Aurora Borealis.

The Igloo itself is backlit to convey the sense of warmth within. It also has a satellite dish on it. I’m not sure whether I’m glad I didn’t remove it or not. At first I left it because I wasn’t sure how I would remove it but now that I could I’m not sure if it belongs or not. My concept is very much based around the nature of the landscape its people and the unity of the Igloo adjoining the two, however I think that having left the satellite dish opens a window into the contemporary and perhaps discusses the fact that Inuit are also a current race with current, modern issues, lives and cultures.

This board needed more work, plain and simple. The blue colour – supposed to be the colour refracted through arctic ice, is not the depth, saturation or opacity I wanted and the supporting pastels were a bad choice. I also would have wanted the intense colour green from the Aurora Borealis in the other two boards as I now think this will feature in my designs.

The pictures on this board are well chosen. They may not be the same as the other two but they do convey concepts I wanted to communicate. So does the font, I’m happy with both the colour and the typography. With a little more work I would have been more content with this board and perhaps been able to get more out of it.
