Canis Major

WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN!?

-Quote of the Day

This was fun, pressure was on and everyone felt it! We had a 5pm Deadline for the following day to complete an editorial piece, with set dimensions, on a subject based on our initial given to us by Jay.

I go Canis Major... No idea what it mean't and when I got it, I immediately googled it!

First things first, RESEARCH! Find out what this thing is, its back story and whatever is related to it.

ITS A DOG CONSTELLATION!

Ok! At least I know what this thing is! After doing some research, It turned out to be fairly interesting, I didnt want to pool in the generic dog in the night sky with stars around it or whatever, I wanted to push myself a little further to see if I could abstract it with the information that I took in.

I did include the constellation of the dog, however, I did it in a not so conventional manner, well, thats what I'd like to think really! I didnt want to over power this image, I didnt think I needed to. I used 3 colours as I wanted the lines to be the STAR of this piece. heheheheh. No, With the outline of the red and blacks, I wanted to keep my colour scheme subtle and relaxed.

What I learnt from doing this is that to editorial commissions are fast paced, pressured, but they give you that lee way to showcase your stlye, your worth, everything you want to show and stand for, Its not for those who like to take their time with their work... I like it though, I really do, I found it to be so much fun! However, the next time I do this, I think I could have worked more on the downward arrow. Straighten it and thin its line too
