I had a lot of difficulty in gathering inspiration for this assignment. The notion of colourful Asia was very hard to grasp because there are so many nuances of Asia that I felt I would not be able to capture.

Moreover, it was hard not to fall into the trap of doing a touristy postcard.

I decided that the most wonderful thing about Asia is that all hairstyles and headgears are uniquely different and distinct to each culture. Thus, I decided to use a blank body as a canvas, rather than drawing in faces and expressions which are not my main point of the postcard. And highlight the hairstyle, with the distinctively black Asian hair and different colours for each culture.

I chose relatively bright solid colours for the hairstyles and gears to make them stand out. And give them a little more depth by adding a colour 2 notches darker.

I decided to change the background of the postcard to see which colour actually highlights my 9 asians best.



I felt that the white best highlighted the differences in colour and allowed the colours to pop out, rather than blend in with the background.

As such, this is my final postcard:
