OUGD405 Studio Brief 1 Design Process - Backing paper development

The Generation of today

I took some time looking at people seeing how they look, how they dress and if they own piercings tattoos etc.
It came to my attention a lot of people have long beards, tattoos and piercings tending to wear snapback hat also. 
so from visually going looking into different styled people i began to start developing in illustrator what was most common.
I wanted to be humorous within the designs i created so by placing type allowed me to express the kind of humour i was approaching. 




This is mainly an unconstructed face placing individual elements to create a obvious visual, such as i haven't placed ears and a nose within the design but replacing the nose with the A, just to make it more unique.
Ive kept it simple by using black and sandy colours as i wanted to approach a more modern style specially with the vector imagery. I've typically used the aviators only because they are a common choice of glasses wear & the fact that beards go well with them. The arrows representing a neck tattoo, which is also common within the peoples image but i wasn't to keen on them.

I took a side profile picture of myself and created an outline of my head, the only things which i added in was the beard and the geometric neck tattoo, as i already had the sun glasses on, I believe that this is a fashionable look to have at the moment. I don't want this to just appeal to people with beards, so by placing type into the designs allowed it to become a more obviously directed backing paper design and also being a widely appealing purchase for the majority, for example buying it for a friend as a personal joke as well as the frame itself.
