OP ART

Brief: The Tauranga Art Gallery is hosting an exhibition about Op Art. I have been comissioned to design graphics that represent Tauranga in an Op Art style. The graphics need to be in a digital format for use on the promotional website.
Plan:
  • Learn about op art.
  • Learn how to use the program paint.
  • Research what represents the Tauranga area.
  • Make some drafts
  • Save my steps
  • Choose final design
