mask

1./2. My first inspiration came from the movie, Phantom of the Opera. It has been one of my all time favorite movies. So it inspired me in my first design to create a mask that had the same principles as that one did. The original mask only covers one eye. The mask protects the man wearing it so his identity is not known. My second inspiration came from another movie, Vendetta. Another one of my all time favorites. The mask is very simple but has a little flare with the facial hair and rosy cheeks. Also the facial features of the mask make it scary but also a little hesitant as it looks like someones up to something. After searching and thinking a lot, my final inspiration for my mask came from batman. The simplicity of the mask is what stands out most to me. It has its features such as the ears but the black, half mask is very simple but still very effective when seen.

4. Color was a huge element used in my drawing of a mark. Black and White because of the simplicity and as well as the cliffhanger on what it could be. There is not a for sure answer to the mask. I also believe the element of value is seen through the mask I drew with the black and white contrast. The principle pattern also, with the black being used twice and to also outline the mask.

5. My final mask I wanted to portray a mixed view and opinion on how the person behind the mask would be. With the simple colors of black and white and really can’t decide on how the person behind the mask would be. It was a fun experience creating a mask that could represent you or what you feel. And I feel like i’m seen different and not everyone has the same opinion on me. It represents me as I always judged by the cover and nothing else and I see this mask as being viewed by the cover and not who’s behind the mask.
