Narrative Project

We started on the narrative project. We were tasked with producing a narrative image for a piece of text in a style that you wouldn't associate with the text. I have chose the story ' the four clever brothers' the story involves a princess who has been kidnapped by a dragon and is saved by four brothers with their own individual skills.

I have deiced to try and create my designs in a similar style to David Mckean. his style is very dark and Gothic. I feel his style would be perfect for a dragon as dragons are usually drawn in a dark Gothic style.

Dave Mckean's work

 I really like the images created by Dave Mckean, shown above, they dark frightening and really brings the narrative of the story to life. i will try and create my design in a similar dark style to his as i feel they would create a dark effective narrative image for my chosen story

Final Type Poster

I finished my final poster for the thinking with type book. my design consists of the thinking man completely made of type. I used a white background as i felt the design and text looked far more effective as creates a more narrow focus on the design.

I feel the design is a effective one as it creates some form of image for a text book cover instead of just a solid, uninteresting, text front cover . I feel this will draw more attention to the design as looking at an image is far more interesting than reading solid text.
