Illumination: Thumbnail Exercise

I really enjoyed this exercise. It was the perfect way to blast out ideas quickly and easily, while allowing me to play with and construct a simple composition. We only did the exercise for about 20 minutes and in that time I managed to blast out 30 or so ideas. This is something I want to do again, maybe when brainstorming for my editorial article.

It was interesting how when looking at other people’s sheets everything became so much clearer once you knew their word. This is something which is also true for editorial, you can definitely take comfort in having the text accompanying the image, allowing for interpretation. In this task I therefore would like to try to interpret my text rather than denoting it. With this exercise, my later, wackier ideas were definitely the most interesting.
