PDF of sketches and brainstorming of idea generation and basically just how my mind was working and the thoughts I was having when working through and trying to knuckle down a focus and concept for the publication.
The sketches are pretty rough but I feel give a sense of the way I work and visualise design, I find myself writing about how it will look more than actually drawing something, I rarely use colour and instead write the colour - pretty weird but all the notes give me all the information to visualise it perfectly in my mind.
When going through the process chronologically, it's easy to see the sketches becoming much closer to the final realised work.
Originally as you can see I wanted to make a more traditional book with an Europe and Japan theme running separately, I felt this was too generic of a response, fairly unexciting for me and made Europe and Japan seem as if they were two different sides facing against each other and this isn't what I wanted to say. Collaboration and mixing the two is the idea.
Getting pretty close to the final visual layout now
Specifying dimensions / point size and grid of inside layout of book element.
Hiroshima Japanese recreated poster, basic framework turned out very similar to the final poster.
