Week 8 : Escape from Ordinary Radio

This is the sketch I did to represent "escape". I wanted to go with a cartoon-ish feel because I can sketch in that style the best in my opinion. I mostly wanted to utilize the bag attached to the stick instead of the penguin. I wanted to make him look as if he would appeal to small children, or if he would fit into a children's book. To do that I sketched him with curved lines and ovals to soften his shape and made him sort of young and pudgy looking.  

This is my sketch for "ordinary". Again, as you can see this is a cartoon style sketch. I wanted to represent a sort of plane Jane type of girl. I used straight, angular lines for her dress to exaggerate the shape. I also made her hair sort of messy and her glasses with thick black frames. I wanted to make her look as if she was young and in that awkward stage of her life. 

This is obviously to represent "radio". I sketched an old fashioned radio because I love antiques and think they have excellent details. I also like the curvature of the speakers against the angular shape of the radio. I went light on the small details of the radio because I wanted to keep it simple to exemplify both "ordinary" and "radio" in one. 

Here is a compilation of all three images. The bag in the penguin sketch is absent, but will be added next to the young girl to show that she's traveling. The angles and depth of the sketch needs to be tweaked, but my purpose is to show the old fashioned "ordinary radio" at one end of the path and the new, trendy fun radio at the other end accompanied by the girl and her bag. The space around the old fashioned radio will be filled with dark ominous colors and the new radio will be surrounded by bright happy colors and sunny skies. The purpose is to show the young girl making the transition from the "ordinary radio" to the new and exciting radio.
