These are 4 thumbnail sketches that i did for the "I Love..." representation for assignment 1.
Basically i wanted to say "I Love HipHop" and so i drew symbols that represented HipHop.



The 1st is rap as depicted by a microphone and a ring with words is worn on the hand that is gripping the microphone. This ring is considered fashion jewellery in HipHop culture or otherwise termed as 'Bling'.



The 2nd is 'Grills', which refers to the shiny toothcaps that rappers like Nelly are seen wearing all the time. This is also a kind of HipHop fashion.



The 3rd portrays 3 elements of HipHop namely turntablism, rap & graffiti.



And finally the 4th represents just graffiti.



Eventually, i decided to narrow down the scope of what i love to do and say "I Love Graffiti" and so i came up with this rough piece or a prototype to develop into my final product for this assignment.



At the end of the road, this is my final piece for this part of the assignment. Some of my classmates suggested i added more pictures since it has a graffiti theme as words would look a little plain, and so i added a garbage can and some empty spray cans on the ground. i'm not very good at drawing pictures and so i thought that was the best i could come up with at my level. Another classmate suggested i have a background like a brick wall and so i incorporated that into the design as well and i think it worked out pretty well.
