Set Project: Final stage

 Today I started finalising the InDesign version of the book.

I made initial improvements in terms of the page layout. The inspiration of how to introduce a more professional look I took from The Beatles illustrated lyrics. I bought this book in order to understand the graphic design of the late sixties. The author, Alan Aldridge also had a big contribution in illustrations. However, the book includes various artists from the last decade. 

My book is rather different, it has a comic construction and the illustration I put in strips. 



Nevertheless, as you can see, I transit the blue line under the songs titles as well. I was not sure, from the beginning about the text field. When I saw the example from Aldridge's book, I am sure that I made a decent effort. I tried my best in terms of managing the space per page. 




When I established this work as a book, I needed to embed the page numbers.


                 I saved the pages in pdf form. I made a preview of two pages and I implemented the cover and the back as well. Thereafter, I exported each page in jpg in order to place them into a mockup.                                      
I downloaded three sample mockups.

And simple onto particular layer I placed my pieces.

I wanted to select the right expositions to show the product on the best-looking sides.

Here, I made some cosmetic changes in Mr Kite photos with ''levels'' tool.

Set Project: Final 3D piece

 It is high time to show the final 3D outcome. I have been waiting for a sunny day to take a picture of Mr Kite. I found a perfect corner in the window ledge. I managed to find some white sheets for the ''session''. Unfortunately, they were curved and undulating and having no extra ones I tried to make it professional.  All this showcase is after Photoshop edit.  On those shoots I wanted to emphasise his posture. Nevertheless, it is still a bit stiff. Here I captured all his attributes in front of him. And one more, with his hands up. Which personally, I can compare them with gorilla's.  I took two pictures from different angles. In order to zoom in the portrait details. In addition, one from the front. I made a few mistakes regarding background preparation. I could glue or taped pages together to avoid the gaps. However, the software edit made a brighter impression, which is definitely an advantage.  Maybe a thicker paper and front light would reach a more prof...

Set Project: The exact reason why and sketches

 I have not straightened why I chose to illustrate the lyrics. As you may have noticed, I know quite a lot about music from the last century and always dreamed about the connection with visual art. Especially in this case, when the album is laid out as a story. Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity I intend to make something familiar using illustration. You see, songs have a lyric - a story. And I want to share with those, by giving my version. In fact, Primitivism is related to the 60s pop culture and the insights I will publish gradually. The album that I chose is unique in terms of the tracklist.  Sgt. Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band  has no gaps between tracks. Therefore they made an album that sounds like one continuous song. ''Highly debated it is considered as a one of the first concept album'' (The HollyHobs, 2020). Some of the songs had been established according to the newspapers headers/stories.  The reasons why I chose this relation to the theme ...
