Since now I am halfway through the project, I think it is very important that I have some kind of structure. After all the research and experimentation so far, and after getting tutor feedback through video tutorials, I have been considering designing a leaflet or tourist guide for tourists of course travelling to a particular city like Spain. Or even one for Europe architecture and landmarks since I am doing this project about them?
Things I would have to consider is the type of book or guide I want to do, so the shape and form. I want minimal text as I need to focus on the art, and so maybe something that requires the very minimum amount like a map or leaflet. Target audience would match that a bit because if it’s one for parents then it should require a lot of text, whereas one for children, it could just be bright illustrations. I could even think about language skills so just illustrations would be appropriate for everyone of every language.
I would also need to consider the style of illustrations I chose. Detailed, loose, sketchy, graphic? Also the colour palette: pastel, bright, warm? And the media being used: paints, pastels, pens, pencils, ink? The overall aesthetics of the piece as a whole needs thinking about, with everything included so not just the illustrations but the positioning, colour, layout, size, shape, form etc…
