Taking two of the images from the first part of the last exercise I had an idea to create these both into a mini concertina book with each illustration on each side. I printed the image on A3 (double sided so wouldn’t need to fold or glue more than I would have to. Using aContinue reading “Exercise 5:3: Constructing a Visual Journal”

First of all started by doing though my sketchbook pages and putting all the images I wanted to use together (using Adobe Libraries – I could keep all these images together and quickly use when needed them) I am also choosing do do this digitally, one thing I am very mindful of waste / inkContinue reading “Exercise 5:2: Making Connections”

Conker falling I created a mini story board, first is the basicContinue reading “Exercise 4:4 Using basic Narrative Structure”

Even taking some creative writing classes and always told my imagination has been one of my strongest skills. What I’ve lacked is ways to tell these stories, even with some form of structureContinue reading “Research Task 4:3: Story Structures”
