The London Underground is an example of informative graphics. By H. E. Beck, who realised that passengers didn't need to know where the streets above ground were. Simplified map still worked even when more lines were added. Taken for granted by public.

Life Drawing: Part 3

10 minute poses, graphite and charcoal, gauging the proportions

 30 minute pose, Chalk pastels, experimenting with tonal colour, perhaps to small.
 30 minute pose, Chalk pastels, continuing tonal colour, larger with better proportions.

30 minute pose, Chalk, difficult due to angle.

Decorating the boxes ...



 I enlarged the Bon Bon template and cut it our of card then collaged on lots of images of the letter 'A', The finished product was not as successful as I'd hoped, as some of the lettering couldn't be seen due to the design.



I also enlarged the milk carton template onto card. Then I covered it in advertisement imagery, which i felt worked really well.
