TO DO

- Look at front and back and write specific brief. 

The only thing I will change about my previous brief is to specify use for a book. This means I will have to consider what binding and cover (hard or soft). 

Brief (what are you going to produce, how and for what reason)

• 12 prints - representing each act/scene from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream and a title so that I can bind the prints together to create a book if I have time after printing them all out. I will incorporate the text into the illustrations.
• Using lino printing. 
• I will create them on to a square shape about the height of A4 which will allow them to be used as separate prints and also to be bound as a book.
• Prints for a book illustration. I will create a bound collection of the illustrations. 

Background/considerations (Tone of voice/mood, audience/context, form/format, colour, media etc)

• The mood will be magical, surreal, romantic and confusing in theme with the play.
• Audience - Shakespeare fans, students studying Shakespeare, children -picture book.
• I will be using rich colours like red, purple, royal blue, black. I will also be using metallic inks to add a magical feel to the prints. I may add more details once the prints have dried with metallic pens or paints. 
• The paper will be white.
• I want good quality paper and a nice sturdy cover for my book. I will use a black or dark purple cover with gold writing if any. 

Deliverables- what exactly do you intend to submit? (Quantity, format, scale etc.)

• Square A4 - 12 prints.
• Bound book.

Interim Deadlines

• Thumbnail ASAP - experiment with layout and composition.
• Think about how to incorporate the selected quotes into the illustrations. 
• Have them all drawn out onto lino before Christmas.
• Cut out designs onto lino over Christmas.
• Experiment with colour inks and prints with metallic pen and paints on top.
• Print after Christmas - get paper or prepare paper over Christmas. 
• Bind book once prints are done.
