key Ring Research

I began my research by looking firstly at the keyring I own and then using the Google search engine to look at Google images and the merchandise pages of existing female artists of a similar genre. I found that there where three commonly used designs. The first design I found was that the keyring image was a smaller version of the artists poster. The second design was using a shape related to the artist for example Avril Lavigne having the shape of a guitar pick with am image and the artists name or signature on the back. The third design being a close up image of the artists face. 

I decided to put together an initial ideas brainstorm as I could refer to this throughout the project. As well as a way of ensuring that all commonly used factors are included in my designs as this brainstorm is a basis for the designs I will create.

Initial Ideas

Plans

I have decided that I will create one of each keyring design I have found during my research. I have decided that the shape that I feel represents my artist best is a heart. I have decided to use this shape because her new album and video have the theme of love running through them. As well as the heart matching and tying in with the lyrics I have decided to position on the front of the keyring.  I have planned the photography that I will need for the two tickets and once it had been captured, I will use Photoshop to edit my images and Illustrator to put the different aspects of the designs together.
