IDEA PICTURES

Idea Pictures - David Lynch
PLUNGING INTO IDEAS WITH THE KING OF ABSURDITY, MR DAVID LYNCH.
His video in today's briefing has got me ready to make and play and be creative.

Into Task:
Drawing visual metaphors for given words on the screen.
I understood why we were doing it but I felt so awkward and I struggled to get into the task with it being so quick! I couldn't keep up. By the time I had an idea, we'd be onto the next word. I ripped out the page I did do because I wasn't happy with it. I know I should have kept it in there but every time I saw the drawings I got angry with myself.
I think this is partially a result of my situation though. I was feeling particularly anxious and the room was very busy.

GIVING VISUAL METAPHORS ANOTHER GO
I didn't enjoy the Editorial brief in Level 4 and I didn't make friends with the task today. That doesn't mean I can't do it! TRYING AGAIN. Not giving up.
Bronte and I tried to make each other laugh by coming up with silly drawings and combining the words on the screen (e.g. mystery+cow, cue Bronte's hilarious cow wearing a deerstalker hat). Giggles fuel engagement sometimes. A chirpy mind is better at puns and visual metaphors than my regular stressed head.
That said, I was a little manic in studio today and I need to find a balance between feeling distant and being ULTRA INTENSE JAY.

Chat with Ben:
3D is fine for this task (going to be difficult for the print briefs, but this one should be okay), you should go for it! Chris Sickels - editorial sculpture. Andre da Loba - painted cardboard illustrations.
