First off... the illustration above, I drew this over the summer and I thought that it would be very fitting for current time period. Today Lily gave me a black rose for Halloween and Loni gave me a dandy treat bag for Keph and Shmee gave me a pubish looking hair net so that I could dress like a lunch lady. Thank you for all the gifts ladies.
New project announced in class. It will be designing a book, which is really odd considering that I ordered a book on hand bound books this morning. I initially ordered the book so that I could make a hand bound book as a promotional piece to send as a mailer portfolio piece. I want to make a hand-stitched book with various weights of paper with no glue. Complex in design, simple to read and navigate.
I have decided to write and llustrate a childrens book. I am currently brainstorming ideas to write about. Once the story is written I will then decide the style of illustration as well as the over all feel of the book. As Brian said, this will be a huge portfolio piece, so it is time to step it up. My main objective in this project is to communicate the story visually. Hopefully the illustrations will be strong enough that text shouldn't be a factor when flipping through to understand the overall context of the story.
Here are some great Illustration links to get your visual groove on:
