Character 2: Mrs Laderman - Initial Designs + Feedback


Above is my initial designs that I had included in my presentation.

Idea 1 - For this design I went for a make-up that was quite simple as I was going to make the hair the main focus of the design. Bold lips, simple eyes and voluminous sweeping hair for a subtle hint of the 80s. After completing my design, I considered how I could take it further with more interest and more of an obvious nod towards an 80s influence.

Idea 2 - Here I toned down the hair slightly and created a bold, strong 80s eye. After drawing up my design, I realised this would probably look too over the top and comical for my character and that I would need to reconsider my '80s' approach in a way that would create a happy medium.

Idea 3 - After looking at 80s Madonna for influence due to her being an icon, I realised that the late 80s featured a more smokey eye effect which creates a strong impact without the extreme bright colours around the eyes seen in the early part of the era. After considering the fact that my model has a fringe, I decided to go for the strong messy curls as seen on late 80s Madonna which I felt complimented my model's own hair. From this the hairstyle is easy to approach with styling, compliments the overall look and has a good impact. I included hoop earrings in my design as drawing it inspired me to include this in the styling to complete the look.
