So far most of my collages haven't been very 'boyish', so I decided to pick a book that offered imagery that would appeal to a male and female audience. "Treasure Island" by Robert Louis Stevenson is never been a book that I've particularly been aware of, the only reason I recognised the name when researching was because of Muppet adaptation that I saw as a child. I will admit that I didn't read this book, as reading about pirates and treasure islands does not interest me in the slightest, however I did do a lot of reading on the internet to get a good idea of the book. With this book the imagery was always going to be the obvious pirate themed things as I expected. Below are some quick notes and ink drawings to get me started.
I like this collage as it is slightly different to the others. Although I have been using the same printed sheets of paper that I made at the start, the colour pallet for this collage does differ to the others. I feel like the use of reds and blues does give this collage a slightly more boyish theme. I want my work to appeal to a wide audience of all ages and genders.
