Reflective Thinking
As I was taking a breather from my J.R.R.Tolkien quote I looked back at my Dr. Seuss design and thought about what Carlos Garde-Martin and one of my lecturers said about my sketch and decided to do it traditionally. I'm still kicking myself that I didn't realise this earlier... It was sitting in my sketch work all along, that I actually prefer doing this traditionally.
This made me decide that from now on I shall mainly work through traditional media and if I wanted to do anything digitally then I would, but I'll never leave the traditional side of it. This is shown in my previous Dr. Seuss design where I had done it all digitally... Well, it just lost all 'emotion' and character behind it because I wasn't able to put "me" into it.
This is a comment that my lecturers made about this quote and how it was actually speaking out to me because this traditional style is me.
What I was also thinking about was that I might separate my designs in sense that I'll display the author's name on another page so that they become double-paged spreads. This will hopefully fill out the book a little bit more as I think on Blurb I need to produce at least 20 pages, so in reality that's around 10 designs not to mention the front and back covers. This might seem scary but I am hoping that I can do this! I guess now I should focus on my strengths and the final outcome and aim to do 10 designs.
