PP&M: Blog entry 8
In our monday session I showed some of my recent work, and was given these pointers;
- (research) Tree of Codes
- (research) Visual Additions
- When creating my book from the altered pages of the text, does each page really need to have a separate image to go with it?
- Drop symbolism, and drop individual bird symbolism (will be taken and read the wrong way, as the subject is too vast)
- Move forward with the idea of cutting and altering pages of the text, and experiment more with this.
So I've done a little research and had a think about things and created a to do list of ideas and experiments for myself for the next week or so;
- Continue experimenting with altering pages of text - cutting/drawing/typography
- Do some more research on paper/book art (Pintrest?)
- Blog more! I must blog more, and put more of whats in my sketch book on here. More of my individual experiments, and also lots more research, which I haven't got much of at all on here yet.
- Carry on producing images to go with pages of altered text. I know I was advised to drop this idea, but I'm not done with it. So far I only have one image out of five that I'm happy with, and i'd like to see this through until I'm certain it doesn't work. I only had the idea a week ago, and haven't fully explored it.
On this Idea, I think I would like to produce a couple of books; one from the original idea - a page of altered text and an image, another as Tracey suggests, just my altered pages (cut outs) and maybe another of just the altered pages, but that have been drawn on (similar to the work of Will Ashford). With this experimentation I plan to print of the pages of the pdf and do some by hand as well as some in photoshop.
