RECAP - Weeks 1-3

So...just a quick recap really to what I have been up to recently, and why I have not updated on a weekly basis. 

My creative team was a 4 week brief, which was titled "Nursery Crimes," and the final outcome was to be a zine...of which the target audience was targeted at a mature audience.

WEEK ONE

As we were all from different back ground we had to take our research right from the very start...answering questions within the team

1. What is a Nursery Rhyme?

2. What is the aim of Nursery Rhymes?

3. Why are there hidden meanings?

4 What is a Zine?

We outlines this in our first presentation, and previous posts will take you to the link to view the full PDF. 

WEEK TWO 

We re-created our selves in terms of continuing our brand identity through the slides visually....as well as trying to bring through to our presentation our aim as a group " explosive creations"

This particular week was mainly idea generation and zine forms and experimentations. 

We narrowed down on themes of crimes and developing on the idea of serial killers...which was  influenced via the cut out type...

Along with looking into hidden messages, symbols and codes...such a cipher and zodiacs

This particular presentation can also be viewed via the previous post and there is also a PDF link 

WEEK THREE

It was at this point where my weekly posting became non existence.

As a group we had homed in on one idea and developed various prototypes to which we explored for our final.

Our reconstructed rhymes of "Lizzie Borden: and "Goosey Goosey Gander" was in the final processes, and we had  mocked up character concepts, and a Kit Of Part to which we felt was relevant for our particular Zine and its concept. 

Draft Lizze Rhyme "and 3rd verse is the original rhyme"
Illustration of Lizze (contemporary styled idea)

Typeface: Influenced by a scythe .... did not work due to it not being legible

Draft "Peter Rhyme" Influnced by Goosey Goosey Gander Rhyme
First three lines of the first verse originates from original rhyme.
Sketched idea of Peters and his shadow. 

We revised our ideas and rhyme...for the final presentation, as once we gave this presentation we realise that the rhyme needed to be in sync and run much more smoother.  We came to a decision that we did not want out characters identity (face wise) to be known...so we striped back a lot of our ideas and also looked back at our precious presentations and ideas we had looked into, as well as feedback from others to reach our final
