Mural update.

Progress is being made on the mural front, slow yet steady! After deciding that my main images weren't working with the rest of the design, I opted for a change in canvas shape. It may just look like I have extended the width of it, but there were a number of reasons behind this choice. The main one being practical as it would open up more space for the primary images, but also, the fact that from the start I have wanted to focus on the style of the the Berlin wall and I think these new dimensions resemble that a lot more accurately. Here is where I'm at...


I think the shape as a whole is much more positive than before, but I still hove some issues to address. Having taken away the white outlines of the images I have managed to integrate them into the design more, but I need to decide on what role I want them to play in the design and how much I want them to stand out. Something else is the empty spaces created with this new shape, I don't want to stretch images just to fill spaces because like my influence Devante Chang, I want there to be something new every time you look at it, so if anything I want it to be on the 'busier' side of things. I'm still developing though so can work on that, as well as where to put the primary images, I think maybe the centre of the design isn't the right place for them.
