The Illustrated Self - Further Development



Further explorations of the function of the field notes book.

I really like what these symbols have become, from the figurative representations to literally just a few lines each. Especially the hand; I love how simple yet clear it is, still looking like a hand but in a very stylised and reduced form.

I am really interested in the layered roughs, and think these could work really nicely with layered print techniques. The bottom right was a more finalised rough idea; looking back I am now unsure why I chose that one to develop as I think some of the others are a lot more successful. It lacks unity and a clear link between all the elements (something which came up rightly so in my tutorial).

The secret society vibe has been carried through with these roughs also, especially when the symbols are placed inside circles. I wrongfully thought I had reached an end point though and now I realise there is more to develop with these.
