The Great Tales Two Page Spread
Two Page Spread My first project was to create a two-page spread, a mood board of sorts with ideas and questions pertaining to my sustained investigation. (Pictured above) I chose images from Pinterest (all of the images on the left and the one of the girl on the right) that portrayed the characters from “The Great Tales” in styles similar to what I hope to do. The three photos of Turin (right page) are my own images that I will use in my portfolio. I burned the edges of this spread and stained it with coffee and undiluted watercolor to create a messy, worn, and old effect, in an attempt to emphasize the messiness of life, particularly in “The Great Tales.” Life is often romanticized in fantasy stories, but it is not in these tales.
So now that you have changed it, I (and Andy) actually like your first one better. We think it is more sophisticated. Some others that looked at it thought the blood wouldn't really shoot that way anyway. (ankles and wrist) if anything, more from the shoulder/neck area to the right.
ReplyDeleteOur 2 cents anyway.
Andy really likes the John Pool one before, not the ethereal one so much. But of course, he said, maybe the other one relates to the story more.
