Poe's House

A VERY PRODUCTIVE MONDAY!

Although my bus was late due to traffic (took 2.5 hours to get in to uni as opposed to 1.40), I still got into uni with five minutes to spare. I HATE BEING LATE and I was freaking out a lot but I got there and it was all groovy. BUT DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE JOURNEY HOME (I had to stand up half the journey!) Anyway. Commute aside, I had a good day.

Did a bit of drawing and a bit of thinking... Not changing direction, but turning the gear up a notch.

Instead of just a random spooky house, GO BACK TO RESEARCH and make it Poe's house.

The foundations are already there, but this will make the publication a little more relevant and interesting (hopefully) in that it will have some factual/historical elements.

Not changing much, just tweaking the concept slighly to make it better.

Audience change slightly

context of reception maybe gift shop in the Poe Museum?

Purpose also shifts, slightly informative as it's based on the real house/real life of Poe.

Quick Catch-up with Ben:

Liked the house print - making things quickly and getting an idea of the final outcome already 

STOCK, newsprint doesn't fold well - look for thicker card stock

First person shooter approach has been integrated well, manipulating the audience like Poe did.

story in each room? - the tell tale heart, the black cat etc

Plan now is to print out loads of the monoprint textures I made and have a go at collaging with them. Make bricks/windows etc. Layer and arrange.

Maybe cut more lino stamps?
