Final Design

For my final design I decided to use design 2.  I am going to write the word 'Family' and have the lock and key at either side of it and the design will be in black and white.  I decided to use this design I think that even though its simple it still shows a lot about family and what it means.  I will recreate this design onto a canvas, I wasn't sure whether I should do the design in paint or pencil, but I thought that doing it in pencil it will have texture coming through like a tattoo would on a persons skin. 

Design 4 and 5

For my fourth design I used the website http://www.tagxedo.com/.  I created a design of a heart and then used the 'family' and they used words which that thought related to family and out of those words create a heart shape.  I liked the concept of this design, however, for the tattoo part I don't think that the design is a design that would be able to have a tattoo out of.  This design was again, in black and white, with the words being black and the background white.  For my fifth design I used the website http://www.wordle.net/.  I created a design out of words which I thought related to family which I used in my mind map.  Again, this design was in black and white, black words with a white back ground, however, I don't think that this design would be suited to a tattoo. 

ICT Project - Design 2 and 3

For my second design I decided that from the mind map I created about my family in my sketchbook, one of the phrases I used was lock and key for trust, I decided that I should try and incorporate a lock and key into my design.  I started with writing 'Family' in the middle and then had a key one side of it and the lock the other.  The lock and key were both heart shaped to represent love.  This design was done in black and white as I prefer tattoos that are black and white, however for my third design I created the same design but instead of it being black and white I added colour.  I kept the word 'Family' black and then used a gold for the key and outline of the locket and then red for the heart. 

ICT Project - Design 1

For my final piece I am going to create a canvas with an image of a tattoo that I have created.  The tattoo is going be related to m family.  My first design idea was the word 'Family' spelt out of words which I thought related to my family.  There would be a different colour for each word, however, even though each word would be a different colour I still didn't think that you can really understand what the word says.  This image would then be recreated on to a canvas for my final piece. 

ICT Project

When we were first told about our ICT project I knew exactly what my topic was going to be.  I had chosen do a project on tattoos, however when we were then told that we had to relate it to a sense of place, I thought that it would be difficult to try and incorporate tattoos into that.  After thinking about it I realised that I could firstly discuss tattoos and then then show images of tattoos and then so images of certain family members tattoos and incorporate my sense of place; family, in to my project that way.
I am going to create a sketchbook which will discuss and show different types and images of tattoos and then go on to discuss my family.
