The background on this illustration is bold and blocky which contrasts with the model in this illustration. The colour is clean and crisp and has been placed orderly, and does not overlap.
The model is linear which shows flowing movement making her organic and giving her free form. The model has been created in monochrome which makes her simple and minimalistic. The idea of her beig minimalistic contrasts with the background and the clothing because they are loud and vibrant. As the model has been created in monochrome she looks flat and traced, almost like a cartoon. To develop from that I would add tone to give this illustration a three dimensional depth and make it look realistic.
The dominant area of this illustration is the graffiti clothing. The patterned texture gives it depth which makes it bold and dynamic. As the graffiti clothing is vibrant and powerful it makes the illustration unbalanced and bottom heavy.
I experimented with this bold, blocky illustration so I had a variety of different styles to choose from. I think the idea of having graffiti in the clothing is successful because it look quirky and the graffiti has been treated in a different way. Even though this illustration is powerful, the idea of having this much block colour on the first layer would be too overpowering and wash every other layer out. So for that reason I do not think I will use this technique.
