Printed Pictures: Creating a Brief

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.
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.
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.
