Development

Letterform:

One letter for each illustration because i don’t want to overwhelm the viewer and it gives me lesser restrictions while creating.

 

Overall theme:

Jobs that I dream of…but i don’t think i would achieve/get it

 

E: Dreamer

Basic idea is Me dreaming. Dreamer: inspired by the movie “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty”

Message:

Don’t stop Dreaming when you are still young. When we are getting older and older, the sense of dreaming big slowly faded. We start to only think about the reality.

Consultation: Try develop other ideas

C: Cat saver/ Hero

First draft:

hero that save cat. Cats climbing up to cuddle in my arm(waiting for my help). cats those are rescued are in my arm. ‘C’ is represented by the arm. I try to match This illustration to the first one, so it can be connected.

C for cat hero: C for Cat,

Message: Save Cats, they are waiting for our help! You can be a hero if you make effort

Theme: superhero, hero is not only define by saving human but also animals

Consultation: Try develop other ideas. The cats don’t look they are in danger that need help from human.

Y: Foodie

First draft:

Y is represented by the train/ or the track. Decided to draw different kind of food that i like on the train. The shape of Y reminds me of the jaw and oesophagus of human structure where the digestion occurs.

Consultation: Can continue to develop.

 

W: Theme park builder/ designer

First draft:

Things that i want to add: Castle, roller coaster, balloons, colourful little stores/house. I am thinking to draw an architect climbing around the “W’ to enhance the idea of Builder.

Message:

W reminds me of the roller coaster, which goes up and down. Life is like roller coaster. People should design/ build the ‘joy’ in life just like designing a theme park: place to rest, place to have fun, place for employee, add some greens to improve the environment. similar concept with ‘Foodie-‘enjoy!’

Consultation: The base of the “theme park” can be changed into any other letter. Try to develop other idea that can fit the letter form better.

 

The Final is in the next post.

Thank you for reading 🙂
