I'm at that point where I would now need to consider what project to go for for my FMP (Final Major Project). I wanted to do something stationery based due to my recent discovery that I've got a soft spot for it, but I didn't want to do wedding invitations again as I had already done that last year.
Mood board (@ Pinterest)
I am therefore going to tackle this the same way I did for my APPs; I'll be figuring out what I'm really interested in and how to take that interest in a graphic design way. In my last post for my APPs I wrote that I was interested in reading, art, fashion, mythology, nature and fantasy.
There is a link between most of these, and that is that they could all be done through illustration or typography. I could create a book spread for a myth/fantasy novel with a hint of nature within, and that of course would be linked to reading and art.
To help me out a little bit more I've created a new Pinterest board just for gathering inspiration, which you can see here. I'll probably be adding everything that has inspired me for this project onto that board just to make it easier for you. However I will be copying some of the pins from that board onto my other boards for future reference.
List of Ideas
After spending a few hours collecting inspirational images I decided to conjure a list of possible project ideas, mainly focusing on stationery as that's the work I would like to do in future. Please excuse the messiness of this list, I was jotting down as I went and didn't really take into account that it had to be neat so that other people could understand what I was writing. Most of the time I didn't even look down to see what I was writing!
Mind Map
I was getting more and more persuaded to doing hand-lettering again as my previous project turned out to be quite enjoyable, so I created a mind map on the possible projects that I could do that links in with that.
I realised that doing wedding stationery might not be the best idea as I had already done it for my last FMP, so I skipped the idea of doing stationery as I could easily do it in my spare time out of uni hours. Instead I focused on areas I haven't really delved into before such as branding and typography.
This led me to explore more with my "Book of Quotes" idea.
Conclusion:
Taking a look at all of my lists and mind maps I have decided to go with the "Book of Quotes" idea. I am also quite keen to do the Art Nouveau cafe as it will link in with my dissertation topic but I'm not too sure yet. I think I'll look into it a bit more later on.
