studio brief 3 development

Because a lot of the sketches we have been doing for our ideas haven't been done while confined to a format of any kind, and have instead been free form on the page, we did an exercise to help give an idea of the space we will be working with and how we can use it to our advantage. 
We cut up paper into landscape format and came up with four ways to convey one visual element we have been using in our ideas in different ways:

I used the visual element of an iphone charger, and tried to simplify it as much as possible, to give the idea of being connected without using too much information.

 We then tried using different perspectives, focusing in on certain bits or enlarging to see what works best. Though they are only quick ideas, I quite like the look of the bold brush pen on white when doing such simple line work, it creates a bold way of working.

Then we turned the paper to portrait to see if that made a difference to our ideas. At first I found it more difficult after having been working just with landcape but then I found I was able to work better with perspectives in this format. It was a useful exercise in learning how to work within formats, which I haven't been very used to in previous work, but I understand it is an important part of illustration because briefs often have formats that strictly need to be stuck to.
