the one in the middle is the bottom with the lat. and long. variables of the hawaiian chain. it also includes the zip code of where i live and the degree of the islands in relation to the equator. to the right of that would be the top of the board with the area code clearly spelled out. the face was an inspiration by an existing shawn white board.
during the whole process i thought that i would also create a version of a wahine's board since i had completed this assignment suprisingly faster than i originally thought. i chose the plumeria flower which represents women in hawaii very well. i created this piece using live trace of two different colors, changed the sizes of duplicates and added a very light blue watercolor stroke on both of them. at first i had the flowers covering the entire board which looked good, but i wasn't satisfied so i continued play around. i then found that adding negative space would give it a better feel.
