Lately Iv been finding appropriate quotes that link with my images to go next to each other for when I'm putting together the final thing. It was a quick process but it made me see I had to make changes to the 'housework' section picture [the last one I posted] I couldn't find a suitable quote to match up with the work. I realised this could be resolved by changing the aim of the picture, the chapter talks quite a bit about machines and how they don't do all the work..we are the ones who have to place the dishes in..buy all the special tablets, also most of the time they don't even wash the pots properly!

Iv been working on a piece about housework, the chapter talks through afew alternatives we could use to washing up and tells that when we clean we should find pleasure in it. What I took from the chapter is we shouldn't be ruled by housework, we should do it when we want not when it needs doing.

I tried to think of a way to show someones mess, without making an image about pointless clutter. I came up with the idea kitchen utensils and washing the pots. I decided to have a sink in the image that way we can see the pots will be washed...just let them pile up and don't worry about them...they will get done but we are in charge of when.

This chapter of the book also proven to be quite difficult to come up with a stable idea. although I found theres a lot more imagery I could have worked with than there is with bills. As I work in a supermarket I noticed there was afew things I could use. also adding the found imagery into my illustration seemed to work out really well too.

Towards the end I noticed theres was something about the bar code that I made with the bending bars I wasn't happy with, its still a little busy on the top half of the image though but this will be solved shortly.

Here's the final piece for the 'bills' piece Iv been working on. the origami was really stressful at first but then it became fun and I started to enjoy the process.

Swava

I noticed this penguin book cover at the V&A, I found that it is very similar to the work I produced for the secret history brief we were given, [its pretty much the same idea!]

Swava Harasymowicz recently won the V&A book cover Award. the judges felt her image for the cover image for Eugene Onegin cleverly deals with the reader's aversion to seeing a fixed picture of a character, which they often prefer to themselves.

spot the difference ?

fmp - bills

Argh, I'd safely say this chapter on bills has been hardest to illustrate, here's some of my ideas that didn't quite work as well as Id hoped. This part of the book tells us to not be tied down by bills, we shouldnt have to to pay them strait away, so afew alternatives are to just ignore them [although there will be consequences], the chapter also tells we should take control by cancelling direct debit and write checks. In the end I chose a theme of making them fun [new pictures coming soon!]
