I found this style of design through searching on Pinterest I thought it was a really interesting and unique style of geometric graphic design capturing the basic bold colour of whatever the subject matter might be. I wanted to try and recreate this type of graphics in a different design but on a similar subject matter.
I began by choosing an image, similar to the original, that had bright, bold and and a variation of colours. Using the Polygonal Lasso Tool on photoshop I started to transform the areas of the bird into individual colours by selecting an area and filling it in by using the Eyedropper Tool to detect the correct colour for each individual area each time.
Further development, the vector portrait style bird is beginning to come together and look much more interesting, I tried to only stick to and use triangle shapes during this copy.
Selecting the correct colour was a long process because each and every selection had to have a new colour selected by me.
Above is an image of what the complete copy design looks like with out the background, I think although it is obviously clear to see that the bird it not perfect I looks very unusual and the 'flaws' it contains are very fitting with the original theme that was set.
Both of the above images are my copy complete. I am really pleased with the outcome because I feel it is a very bold style of design and my copy captures looks of the bright colours. I feel I enjoyed creating this vector portrait/geometric style of graphics and I felt impressed when I could see it developing and gradually progressing towards the end pieces, I feel comfortable enough to uses this style for my emulation and then possibly take it even further to use of my final piece some how.
