Mythology creative briefs
Exhibit 1: Alphabet For the first brief, we were challenged to make a graphic on A2 paper that would is based off the collection we gathered over summer 2018. For my collection I decided to collect resources that related to Greek Mythology, as I spent a lot of my summer in Greece itself, and was interested in the mythology that originated in the country itself.
The alphabet was created by creating a series of shapes in Adobe Illustrator, and then giving them anthropomorphic features such as eyes and smiles. The aim of the piece was to appeal to children and help them learn the alphabet in a fun way. The bright colours and design I decided would be appealing to young minds, as children love bright colours.
Exhibition 2: Motion My second brief was to create something that has an aspect of motion to it. I decided to make a poster that folds out to reveal a Kraken sinking a ship. The card prototype was successful so it was then mocked as an A2 piece that would be held in an exhibition space. An example of this is to the right, and the far right. This again follows a child’s theme, using vector shapes and images, and bright colours. Perfect for the little ones!
Here is a little video showing how the popup card works!
Exhibit 3: Play
This brief was designed to make something interactive that the audience can play with. As my theme was exploring mythology, I decided to explore an illustrative style and create these posters that the audience can pull out to reveal a darker side to. Though created for fun, I imagine the target audience for these posters would be older children and perhaps teens or adults due to the scare element.

Exhibit 4: Combined The last brief was a collaberative project. For this we had to combine elements of our work to create a final piece. We decided on creating a small animation for children, however, as we only had a week to complete this we only made some clips from the video to show what the animation would look like.
The images in this PDF are images made by myself, with elements of my colleagues’ work, which I positioned to create the scenes myself.
Credit for the collboration goes to my colleagues; Krissy Jones, and Andrew Gould. The original powerpoint we created with the full storyline can be found by clicking the Kraken!
