LAYOUT SCAMPS
After the crit I started to think about the overall layout of the concertina book; the idea of a splash panoramic on the back, how the quotes would fit into the imagery, what would be the best way to display and communicate both narrative and factual research
I felt as though having panels with different compositions would be a more dynamic way of story telling. Distance and scale helped show movement of characters while encompassing the landscape we experienced
MEDIA EXPERIMENTS
I started trying out different media for making my images; got a pentel brush pen for Christmas so tried out some wet pen brush experiments (nice but limited colours available)
Did find through pen experiments however different ways to use pattern//line//dots to imply sense of depth and texture
Media tests//experiments
Wanted to try both dry and wet medias; preferred dry medias. Felt more personal, allowed for a lot of texture.
Started thinking about colour also; limited colour palette? 'Quiet' colours and saturations to match with the atmosphere and mood I wanted to evoke; didn't want something overly bold and in your face
More refined media scamps//introduction of text into images
REFINEMENT
Started putting media experiments into practice//experimenting for final images
Text and image together? Quotes floating through images?
Thinking about front cover; trees? Limited colour?
All type hand-rendered; more personal
Although book will be printed digitally for final product, it feeling hand crafted and human has always been very important to me due to the merging of factual research that resonated with me and my own experience
