There it is! it is over 70 inches long and about 20 inches tall. Its huge. The quote reads, "If you can imagine, you can create... If you can dream... You can become."
This is where I started. I was going to do it all on one page, in four separate parts. Sketchbook style.
Then I was going to actually create a sketchbook, making each part of the quote on a separate page.
After I nixed that idea, I was going to do it on four canvases. That didn't work out either. It needed to flow better.
While doodling one day I got a great idea to put a cityscape emerging from a couple of houses into a booming city.
(Reflecting the idea of creation.)
(Reflecting the idea of creation.)
Here you can see the first half. It is all hand done and cut out with an exacto knife. (I never want to use an exacto knife again.) The key words in the quote (imagine, create, dream, become) are all done in the same hand-made paper.
The last half is my favorite. The city is all hand done. The girl with the dream clouds is one of my friends in class. The child in the city is my cousin. and I hand cut the clouds as well as the text and the swirls around the edges of the clouds. (An idea appropriated form Denielle Emans!)
I had LOADS of fun in this class and I can't wait to start Typography next semester! I decided to keep Design as my second major and I'm excited to see what happens next.
