After creating narrative posters (based on stories that already exist) for Negotiated Study, I have decided that I would like to continue with this idea, but this time I am going to challenge myself even further. Instead of choosing one story, I have decided to illustrate ten classic/modern classic books. I plan on creating ten posters, either depicting a particular scene or a collection of significant imagery. These books will be part of a collection, '100 Books To Read Before You Die', or posters for Penguin, maybe to encourage new readers. I haven't quite decided on their exact purpose just yet. They will all be in the same style as my Hercules posters, using painted textures to collages with. I hope to experiment more with the types of textures to create more depth.
On Tuesday I had my proposal meeting with Jonny hannah and Peter Jarvis. Their general feedback was quite positive and they seemed to like the idea of picking ten different books. I explained to them how I wanted to chose ten books from as many different genres to ensure that the imagery was varied and exciting. Jonny proposed the idea that I create my own publishing company which could be a nice edition to the project.
Below is a photo from my sketchbook showing the start of my book list I have compiled from internet research. I plan on having a quick discussions with a few tutors to discuss which books they think would be the most successful to illustrate, as well as help me expand the list to make sure that I have the best selection possible to chose from.
