Grids and Layout



We got given a random objective and then had to cut up or change a magazine to fit this description, i got given "colourfull" so i browsed through the magazine and cut strips out the front page to show colour. If i were to do this again id probably cut out more interesting shapes with colour instead of just doing strips.

Interesting InfoGraphics





These are some interesting infographics graphs posters i found, after looking at them i found some form of inspiration to produce my own, as i have never done them before. My favourite poster is the one on oil resources, the colour, layout and images are just really well laid out and it makes you want to read it.

Hair Colour Chart






Dark brown color not match ultra pale skin
Dark brown hair may not match your pale skin. Pale skin with deep brown hair is not a perfect combination. Use light color otherwise you may appear older. After getting hair color, use brand products to protect your hair color.
Red, a color for every one
A right shade of red can make everyone beautiful. Want to get a perfect red color just ask a professional advice. Otherwise you may face problem. Famous redhead’s photo gallery 8 tips to keep red hair from fading and how to pick the Right Shade of Red may help you lot to save your red hair from fading.
Color or Highlight, not same
If you have a healthy natural color, you’re better off with highlights. You don’t want to mess with nature; what you want to do is enhance it. If your base color washes out your skin tone or is “blah,” consider single-process color. Single-process color is cheaper than highlights.
Go for Highlights
There are basically 4 types of highlights: basic foil highlights, baliage or “hair painting,” chunking or “piecing” and low lighting.
Foil highlights add strands of color to hair. You can get up to 5 different shades in hair to make it look more natural.

Pantone matching hair








These pantone hair images showed how many different types of pantone actually go into hair and that 1 shade isn't enough, but colour matching an intire set of hair would be impossible. These images did confirm that there are ALOT of different shades of pantone found in hair and this gave me some confidence to try and find most of them or at least a 100. 

Graphics for Screen



Really cool info graphics in the video, I like the simplicity of the illustrations  as well.

Mr Bingo





Mr. Bingo has done loads of drawings of hair from famous icons, i couldn't exactly go and just copy what he did for my collection brief but i did like the style he drew his hair and the things he drew on.

These are two of Mel Marcello's posters, what drew me to these posters is how detailed the hair in them look, he also only used a few different colours to achieve this. The hair also looks very textured.

100 Collection Album Covers

This Beatles album covers shows a very detailed drawings of their hair, i like this style of drawing but i prefer a more simple approach like the images on the Blur album cover.

This Blur cover shows a much more simple colour full approach to representing hair.
