- After gathering all our findings, we began to think about how this could be developed into a book. I feel that we all contributed to discussions, as well as listening to others ideas. I think we worked well as a group, and reached a joint decision.
- The pubs had a real cultural diversity, with a mix of students and locals; those who just want a quite pint. We aimed to show this mix in the book
- As we were very interested in the people, we liked the idea of different drunks you find in the pub, and also focusing on the lonely old man but having too many ideas - it became difficult to narrow down. Eventually we decided to base our book around different pub scenarios; this meant a lot of our ideas could fit into one theme. - Some based more specifically from what we'd seen through our research, and others were general stereo types.
We all discussed and planed roughs of the possible pages, before agreeing on an order. we split up the pages between us; - I was given the 'hen do' drunk. - Who we envisaged as the loud, rowdy, slightly over weight woman, in tacky clothes. - I also contributed with the front and back pages.
- Communication within our team was really strong, and i feel that our book benefited from this. - As we all knew the direction of the book, and tone of voice - our illustrations worked well together.
- I began developing my image - trying out different arrangements, and viewpoints. I found it difficult to draw for some reason - the proportions are a bit of; The final image isn't as refined as i would have liked, but with the limited time we had, I had to make quick decisions and go with it.
- I found separating the colours for screen print a little challenging, and created a few tests to reach a good result. I aimed to keep the detailing and shapes simple, - working primarily with block line and colour.
- Testing the two layer on acetate made it clear to see how the layers would work together.
- adding the dots in the background provided some detailing - making the woman stand out. This is also something others used within their images - tying them together.
