Visual Communication 1 - Week 2 of 5

For this next week project our task was to make an illustration for a book called "The Necklace". After having read the book and the brief I started to mind map the sort of images that came into my head when I thought about the story. From the rather obvious images like the necklace itself down to the type of transport used in the narrative. After mind mapping I researched different book covers and looked an different types of book illustration to give me some inspiration. After doing this i knew what sort of image I was after. I did the photo shoot and tried to take as many different types of compositions for my images so that i would have a wider selection. I then made contact sheets so i could judge the potential of each of the images before I made my final edits. Using black and white imagery for the illustration I found to add more drama to the piece. During the critique session that week i gave myself 3 out of 5. This was due to the image quality but that's one of the few things i would change about the week.

On reflection I believe that i have done well with this project. However i still believe there is still room for improvement in my images. Not bad for a weeks work.
