City Ideas

WORKING ON A THEME

GOAL FOR TODAY: TO HAVE AN AWESOME THEME.

I want a cool theme that excites me and leads me down some funky areas of discovery.

I've seen a lot of my peers looking at abandoned places/spooky-weird happenings. NOT GON' GO DOWN THAT ROUTE. I'm going to stick to bright, tasteful tackiness and hunky dory retro holiday postcard goodness... or at least that's the vision for now.

(other less-successful candidates for the list of potench ideas are in my sketchbook. Just exploring some of the ones I've got a bit more feeling for)

Idea One of Not-so-Many Not-so-Awesome Ideas:

Cities in Films

Fargo, Montauk, Kansas, Budapest.
Re-interpreting the cities that hosted some of the most bodacious scenes of cinematography.

Yus! Would look swish in vectors. But I'd just be mimicking another creative's creation.

Also, someone else got there first. Pfft. Okay. Scrap Budapest. But could still be nice to reference pop culture and film sets? Although is that too cliche?

Idea Two of Not-so-Many Not-so-Awesome Ideas:

Cities in Scandinavia
I LOVE FINLAND/SWEDEN AND THEIR TRADITIONS AND THEIR GROOVY CULTURE.

Could also look at other introverted cities that share a value for being alone.

Idea Three of Not-so-Many Not-so-Awesome Ideas:

City and Colour
So I said that I want to use this brief to really get playing with colour.
I could make my theme colour focused so that I have that as a specific focus point for this project.
Found some cities that are painted groovy colours.

I NEED SOMETHING FOR A THEME THAT ISN'T A NOUN. Something that is A VERB. An activity or an event or a happening that has more elements that I can interpret rather than just boring BUILDINGS (even though they could look funky, they wouldn't be exciting or representative of the culture and lifestyle)
