Title: Ed Sheeran - Album Artwork
Image by Emily from Kent | in art & design, 2d, mixed media
I chose Ed Sheeran mostly because I love his style of music⦠the sound of the acoustic guitar and jazzy, soul-type voices such as his. I also adore complex, heartfelt lyrics, the type that really mean something. Plus, if I were to be perfectly honest, I fell in love with his hair just a little⦠I sketched the picture of him, which I guess pretty much explains the portrait element⦠and edited the picture on the computer to make the lines stand out more. I coloured his hair and hoodie to intensify them and highlight his more striking features. I printed out a train ticket in black and white. I wanted to incorporate this because of his quote, âIf you donât know where you have been, you donât know where you are goingâ, which I managed to squeeze onto the ticket in place of the âfromâ and âtoâ sections. I dabbed a painted sponge over a strip of masking tape to create the background. I tried to make it colourful and vibrant because he mentioned that he loves colour. I drew the little paw print from his guitar onto his hoodie to make it more personal to him. I thought a mixed media piece would give me the opportunity to be more creative and unique in my design.
