Secret 7"

I looked at last year's Secret 7" winners, and picked out the most effective designs.

I want to create a setting for my 'sunlight storm' idea, and a few of these have scenery, plants and buildings in them which has opened my eyes a little. Each is very expressive and clearly has a story behind it, which shows that a successful design can be sketchy and quick, as well as clean cut.

These illustratinos are conveying mental disorders through very simple imagery. The strict black on white does this effectively by not distracting and showing the bare minimum that is needed. I will try to take this on in my work by not overdoing things and focusing on what I am trying to convey.

These illustrations are more decorative, which is what firstly draws someone to a music design. The colours are restricted yet it gives it a clear personality. The subtle use of patterns will inform how I come up with my imagery to show a storm and sunlight.

This is another example of successfully conveyed landscape, as the colours are so carefully picked and create vibrant and contrasting scenery. The attention to detail is what makes it captivating.
