For this project, we were instructed to create a group of seven graphic compositions that communicate the seven sins or heavenly virtues. I chose to portray the heavenly virtues. I tried to keep my color palette consistent using blues and yellows with some accent colors. Follow this link to see my dropmark for more photos and other routes I considered. Thank you!!!
SEQUENCE COMPOSITION TYPE

pg 4 & 5 - Chastity - an analogue collage - photographed or scanned. Use more than 3 image fragments from preciously printed sources (books, magazines, paper, packaging, postcards etc,) may use in combination with handrawn/painted elements throughout compostiton.

This image is a compilation of three found images all courtesy of Shutterstock. I played with opacity on the front image that says virtues, so the back image would come through. I also reflected the back image horizontally so the top and bottom framed the middle virtues photo.
This spread was a type composition only. In the background are a list of temperate words but spiraling out of control, only to be pulled together to portray self-control.
For this spread, I chose two hands forming a heart and hand lettered 'be kind' in the center. I did the hand written text on a phone with a stylus pen.
For this spread, I chose to portray humility by balancing a feather and a rock. I made the balancing rock with styrofoam and textured spray paint. I stained wood blocks and hand painted the letters with gouache using stencils.
