Exercise: Using black and white

The idea of this exercise was to create a line visual round one given word, in my case I choose the word "Journey". After that, I had to take into Photoshop, create a negative version, and then print both to create a final piece where I'd combine the black and white shapes into one illustration.

I started this exercise with a spider diagram, thinking about related terms to my chosen word, Then I draw four thumbnails with ideas. I choose the thumbnails to another person who liked better the same two that were my favorites, that's the two bottom illustrations.

In the end, I decided to go with the lady driving her car through an uneven path to express the idea of a journey. The final piece it's definitely more appealing than the line visual. It draws attention to the light kind of coming from the end of the road where the sun is.
