Cheers to the last day of class tomorrow ! In order to complete my final project, I have chosen to create 20 books expanding my "Survivor" theme and give it a much different dynamic:
- There will be a dual narrative with juxtaposed themes, but very different moods. The book will be serious/memorial and read more humorous when flipped.
- Instead of colored drawings, I am using the class suggestion of black and white line drawings.
- I am going to sew the binding to give it a scrapbook/collage look!
I am really into this project. I found some awesome materials and I am loving the hands-on nature of this course and all the fun adventures of book-making! Book-making is certainly not an easy hobby but it allows creativity to roam in all sorts of directions. I have taken a lot of photos, so I hope to upload some later this evening after the sun sets. The warm rays are pouring into my window by my desk right now as the afternoon takes care of its business. I wanted to get my post up so my classmates can peer into my ideas and get an idea of what to expect tomorrow.
Not sure if I'm going to continue to roll with the title, "Survivor's Encomium" or rename it, this is something I'm still considering.
