Well it was especially nice to be back at Nonconform for a two week placement. And this week I was straight back into things as they needed illustrations and ideas for a small promotional booklet, before heading off to the PfH Conference
Based around the story of the three little pigs, my initial idea was to have illustrations of pigs (Obviously). I struggled to make these work in the context of a promotional handbook, mixing typography and photography. Spending most of the week drawing little pigs and re-writing the fable.
In the end a serious sit down and re-write from Andy and myself resulted in a more coherent looking booklet, coupled with ideas from Sophie and Chris. Incorporating a graphic idea for each page and spread, there was to be no visual reference to pigs. The deadline loomed and Friday morning came and went, ending up with me backseat designing much to the annoyance of Jas. He's just forgot all his Indesign skills.
In this week I felt I got a lot out of communicating with people. Andy in particular, I really had to push forward my ideas and accommodate His ideas of the booklet, I felt this only really happened on the Thursday night. Still that was a great experience and gave me a good feeling of confidence and greater sense of expressing myself.
