Pump N Grind: CREATING A MURAL


For the mural part of my Pump N Grind brief I wanted to create something bold, simple and eye-catching. I also wanted it to tie in with other bits of the cafe I had re-designed, so I took three of the figures from the window display and stitched them together to make something I could trace over in Illustrator. I knew I wanted to come up with something bright and colourful, so I went with using block shapes instead of the line drawings. The wall was 2 metres high by 120cm across, so I knew I had to make something more portrait. 

I came up with the design below, but couldn't really decide on a colour scheme. I had used the colours of Pump N Grind to keep some of their original branding, but I think i'll just show both of these to Beth and hopefully we can decide on one between us.


I took a quick trip to wilko to pick up some paints and luckily they seemed to have the exact colours I needed. I'm not sure how good the quality of these will be but i'm sure they'll be fine after a couple of coats.
