Principles and Practice of Illustration. Sketchbook Pages 1-5.

"As Illustrators what we see around us shapes our visual vocabulary and Inspiration."

The first page in my sketchbook is just a starting point for the project. Picking out some keywords from the brief that I really wanted to focus on. 

"Themes include celebrations between reality and appearance"

"Melodic Electronic Style"

"Focus on Sequenced Rhymes"

I have written out the lyrics in my sketchbook so I can see them, revisit them and maybe try and pull something directly out of them. I have also printed out a Youtube comment I found very interesting and put in the sketchbook to try and help find a starting point.

On the right-hand side, I have stuck in some of my Risograph printing from our tutorial. Some of the things I used for this printing workshop include an old train ticket (I thought it would fit well with the Trans-Europe Express theme) and I also used the grid and honeycomb textures.

Here I have taken to audio away from the video and turned it into a skyline. The train-like rhythms really helped created the block liked patterns in the visual audios.
On the right, I was just messing around with the album art from Tans-Europe Express by cutting them out and adding googly eyes to them.
