Went to the booth with Adam today to record the lines for the video. I fiddled with the timing of the slide of thumbnails in order to sync more neatly with the sound of the music track which was taken from this site: http://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music/track/the-jazz-piano

Having completed this, I have now finished the brief.

I think that this has been an enjoyable brief to complete, perhaps mainly because of the screen printing aspect of it. I set out to make a series of images that were relatable to others through the nature of the story they told, but also illustrations that were quite personal to me. I think that screen printing the images was a perfect way of showing my art school story.

Once I began doing heavier research into the concepts behind the archetypal stories, I feel that my images gained more weight and I felt a lot more confident in what I was doing with them. I think that the idea of telling stories is incredibly important in every image, and surely this brief has helped me exercise that skill to apply it to other illustrations that I produce.
I think if I take the principles of image-making that I've learnt with this brief (while also keeping in mind the modernist principles I developed in COP), I can really push the intrigue of my illustrations a lot further.
