1. Proposal • For my final project I wanted to do something similar to a photomontage, but not quite. I wanted to go a more collage like route, with a more illustration feel. I wanted to center this all around a theme of unleashing your imagination. I picture it being a photo of me, with the top of my head coming off, revealing my brain. Sitting on top of my brain is a castle. I picture a dragon flying, and perhaps some other mystical creatures. There will be clouds and a sky, and then perhaps a bunch of doodles in the background, all drawn rather sketchily, like they are actual drawings. Somewhere on the page I’ll have the words ‘unleash your imagination’ written in a block letters, also like it was drawn. I might draw a lot of these things out and then bring them into Photoshop, combining two mediums since I primarily am a sketcher and painter, and this would be more along the lines of what I enjoy and am used to. Overall I am trying to convey a sense of imagination. It sort of ties in with my advertisement project, because it has undertones of being related to reading. The illustrations and the mythological creatures all suggest books, which relates to the mind and the imagination. In a sense, this is a total revamp of my advertisement project, taking it a completely different way, but also not. I generally just want this to convey a sense of a dream-like state.
