One initial idea was a sketch about a character
who uses a magic videotape to take them to a fantasy land. This
illustration was linked to the music illustrations I'd produced for
VCR as I wanted to carry forward the quirkiness they had
communicated. The style used for this was very free form and hectic,
it was to carry forward the David Carson concept of “intuition.”
By drawing each line spontaneously and using the colours that felt
right in the moment, the end result is very bright and entrancing.
This illustration would have been furthered in a zine format,
accessible for children and adults.
Feedback:
- Contextually could look at Biff and Chip and the Magic Key.
- Could have a back story of social commentary on how we are reliant on modern technology.
- The main character could be drawn in each time by the child reading it.
This
was not taken forward as the design had no
constraint. Because
it was only tenuously linked to the object there was not much room to
explore conceptually. The illustrations could have been anything,
which meant it would be hard to refine them to something original and
exciting.

Build Lecture:
During
this lecture by Michael C Place he discussed his passion for
experimentation and breaking boundaries, which is partially the cause
for his success. He suggested that even when given a very open brief
by a client, it is important that you give yourself 'self imposed
rules and constraints' to elevate your work and to make sure you are
constantly improving.
