OUGD603 - Up Yer Sleeve - Initial Ideas

 I sketched out some ideas based on my research of the song as well as visually. I wanted something that represented both the artist and the song.



I started with the scottish terrier dog that can be seen on the album cover for the album the chosen song is from. I thought that it created a striking image, but I’m not sure whether it is at all relevant.
Next I thought I could play on her tattoos, I found that she had a tattoo of two hearts with text over them in a banner. I thought I could play on this with the lyrics, but again I’m not sure if this would relate back to the song.
Playing around with her iconic features I experimented with doing a close up of her famous eye liner or her Monroe piercing. These do feel like commemorations to Amy but again might not relate to the song.
I next played on the lyrics that I liked from the song - “Bright as stars that shine up above you, in the clear blue sky”. I imagined a portrait of Amy almost merging with the clouds, her hair flowing into the sky. I really like this idea and it is definitely my favourite so far.
