STUDIO BRIEF 1: Project Proposal
Project Rationale – Astrid Weguelin What are you proposing to do? (Product, Range & Distribution)
I am proposing to make a visual response to the book ‘Lord of the Flies’. I want to make a book cover, inside illustrations relating to quotes from the book, the book has 9 chapters; I hope to maybe do an illustration for each or more if possible. I then plan to package it all together, possibly in a slipcase. This will all be my main product. If I have time, I plan to take some of the imagery I make and transfer it onto further products such as posters, playing cards etc. What do you want achieve?
I want to create a set of professional, finished looking illustrations, which really communicate the themes from the book – and are recognizable from ‘Lord of the Flies’. I want to start developing more of a consistency/style within my work. I want to build upon skills I have used throughout this year as well as ones involved in this project. What do you want learn from doing it?
I want to be able to work efficiently and effectively to a format (book size). I want to learn about packaging and what different options there are for presenting a book or a series of illustrations. I also want to be able to make my work accessible for a variety of different products and contexts. I want to develop skills in combining text analyzing and visualizing ideas in order to make strong imagery, which really communicates a concept as well as being well composed and technically competent.
