In the brief and told to create a visual report that was designed to specialist interest to support our poster. This will be a record of your design process in making the poster. I decided earlier on that I wouldn't make this report as illustrative as I could but I needed some advice first before I can make the big step, So I waited until my crit to reassure me on what was needed.
On the day of my crit I asked my tutor if I could roll with my idea of making a Constantine book with a timeline of my full process using one undisturbed black line to create images as the bumps in the timeline. It's hard to explain but I drew out visually for them on a piece of paper, they seem to like it a lot so I decided to create it.
Firstly I decided on the size of my Constantine book, which in the end was a three piece of paper folded in half and cuts and men diagonally folded into four sections. This was small but I did not want a big book. I then made a list of all the things I could think of that I did in my design process toward making this poster, from these I started drawing them visually.
I wanted to keep to the same medium as what I did in my poster, so I decided to keep to ink using a quill method. I drew my idea in my sketchbook and then decided to draw on the concertina book freehand in pencil lightly. the front cover I started off with a line drawing of an ink will starting off the timeline this line carried on to spell 'visual report' the line carried on after page into the concertina book it started making the images to represent my design process.
These images in order consisted of: light bulb, to represent my ideas. brain, to represent thought. the notepad and pen, to represent notes. an @ symbol, to represent research. a question mark, to represent doubt. a monkey with a balloon, to represent my poster. Then it spells ' Ask yourself?'.
The line carries on off the concertina to the back of the book to spell 'Natalie Hill-Cousins', my name. I am proud of this idea and the way it turned out. I do feel very that I may need to make it again as it wasn't made to the highest of standards.
