Mural for My Town

I think this mural should be on a blank wall in Eastend because there is not many murals around town so I think this one would be a good one because it a younger was of looking at and showing showing off parts of our town. I think it will give people a bit of and idea about eastend and how we are know for our T-Rex and rolling hills. I think that it represents Eastend in a good way. First with the dinosaur Because of the T-Rex's center which I think is a large part of Eastend. Also I think that the rolling hills on the bottom of the mural show the landscape of rolling hills that surround Eastend. Then the graffiti written Eastend it show the towns name off in a new younger looking way. I used bright colors of blue and yellow for Eastend to make it stand out more. I used the half blue, half yellow letter to make it brighter and more colorful also with the purple back ground to add a bit more colors because I thought it need to pop out a bit more. the shape of the letters were kind of graffiti to give it a younger look to bring some youth into the town. I make the mural balances accept for the T-Rex Because I thought it looked better a little off balance and that it made the T-Rex stand out a bit more. I learned it take some time to get everything how you want it to be with out looking awkwardly placed in the mural. If I were to do this again I might do some research about Eastend and added some more things the represented Eastend as a town.

  1. I like the colors that you chose for the mural, the color triad works well. I like that you chose to put the letters slightly off balance, I think they could have been even more off balance, almost on a diagonal. It really would have brought out the 'tag' effect. Is there a specific wall that you would like to see this on?

  2. The wall that I had the picture of and was going to put my mural on was the side of the fire hall.
