We then began to look at the aesthetics and particular styles that we wanted to take forward. We decided that this would be clearly defined in the contrast of colours between dark and light, bright and dull to create an intense but clearly cut aesthetic. We then researched existing artists work that used these styles, looking specifically for graphical and interesting styles; looking for how mood and emotion are portrayed through art.
