Below are the design steps you need to follow to complete your artwork for your banner:
- On a google docs, copy and paste 10 inspirational images of your chosen biosphere feature
- look at the different art styles below and decide which medium you want to work in
- The banners will be printed at 60cms X 150cms. Your final piece will be to this scale but you can work at any size at this scale
- Thinking about the scale of the composition you are working to and using your 10 inspirational images, do 5 sketches or test pieces to experiment with your chosen medium
- choose which one you like the best and decide how to improve it
- Now you are ready to do your final piece
