Graphic Narrative.
Name : James Pether
What Song lyrics have you selected? Why?
|
I have picked the song Down Payment Blues by ACDC because this song
meant a lot to me because it reminded me of my granddad. The lyrics in the
song are all about the way you want to live you life. This will mean I can
make a good graphic narrative. The lyrics I have picked are:
Sittin' in a Cadillac
Listenin' to the radio
Suzy baby get on in
Tells me where she wanna go
I'm livin' in a nightmare
These lyrics show a lot of imagery in my opinion which
will help me develop my graphic narrative.
|
What format will your Graphic Narrative take? (Comic,
children book, illustration etc…)
|
Well I think that the
best way to produce my graphic narrative will be illustration. This is where
I believe my graphic will be best. The graphics can be adapted so that I can
use my strengths but develop my weaknesses at the same time.

How will you change your script to make it more
modern, historical or futuristic twist to your script, illustrating a
mood/style or intended target audience?
I will use the current software to make my illustration
look up to date but take a historical approach. My drawings will be of
historical things; this then means for example “Sittin’ in a Cadillac” will be
of an old 1970’s Chevrolet. This will then give the impact that I’m looking
for. Im looking to give my audience an image to remember when they listen to
this song. I believe that music is a powerful things, so making people your
artwork will be amazing. My target audience will be middle aged people who
remember this song when it was first released.

What designers or illustrators do you feel will
influence and inspire the style you are working toward and why?
I’m going for the BMD
design approach because I really enjoy looking at their artwork. With this in
mind, I will take this approach but use my words at the top of the picture to
make them stand out. I want this artwork to be bold and let people remember
what I’m going for. BMD let the words float inside their text but I’m not
going to go for this approach. I really enjoy their artwork so that the
reason why I’m going to go for a style like them.
Which techniques and materials do you hope to use?
List and include source i.e. collage, photographic, typography, drawings,
diagrams etc…
Im going to use illustrator to develop my artwork because
it shows enables me to make my work modern. I will first draw all my artwork,
which will then help me when I scan it in, illustrator. This then will help me
so that I have all the outlines for my picture. Then I will decide what to do
whether I need to change the feel of the drawing or change the drawing because
it doesn’t look right. This then will help me decide what to do next.
