Tried gold leaf and it didn’t work that well – at all ;o) So, leaving the illustrations in their original form, the books is printed, bind, front/back pages are cut…. All looking good. I’ll need to add some photos of it in as well.
GSSmith kindly sent to Enzo a whole bundle of cut paper. Paul thinks it’s a bit heavy textured for the prints, so I may stick with the simple mat card I’ve used. I will try it later to see how it looks.
The case study is going quite well but still tons to do. Richard checked my latest version (just over 4000 words) and seems quite happy with it, which I’m obviously very pleased with. I’m hoping to take some days off to get it done as soon as I can. Find it much easier to write at home, plus have access to internet which is vital…
My second project….hmmmmmm. I changed my mind about doing the Charlatan Ink Prize and now thinking about D&AD Illustration brief or RSA postage stamp….
For the D&AD I was considering Thomas Newman, Clint Mansel but find them a bit depressing… not in a mood to do depressing stuff…. So I may go with Vanessa Mae. Or music used in Circ de Soleil. Richard mentioned today (23/11/10) Elvis Castello (Julliete’s Letters) so I need to listen to it.
It’s looks like quite a full on brief and I’m not sure if I’ll have enough time to come up with a good idea and finish it to a good standard….
So…. Maybe the postage stamp, seems a bit more straight forward…
I need to make a decision very soon. I’m hoping to be quite expressive in this project, quite colourful and lively.
