I have been reflecting on the direction of my work.
When I look at what I've made so far, I think -
The heavy metal font makes the piece seem like it is literally 'ROCK' based, like it's for a musician or a band
The 'Welcome To' doesn't stand out
The composition of the scroll seems off, like the diamond shape at the back should be bigger
The colours also give it a rocky/dark feeling
Perhaps it's too literal, the colours and fonts make it look dark, gloomy, sad, it misses my point of duality as the meaning is singular, it is what it is, there is no interpretation or layered meaning
Going forward I will try and re-focus my idea by -
Experimenting with brighter colours
Try to bring back the duality - the sign should be bright and happy, with a sad undertone in the text rather than the physical object
Change the fonts, try and hand write it in my own calligraphy style like my original drawing
