I've chosen a song by Ed Sheeran called 'Drunk'. I chose the lyrics 'I wanna be drunk when I wake up, on the right side of the wrong bed'. This is one of my favourite songs and I mainly based my choice on the design on my graphic narrative first more than the song lyrics have any personal meaning to myself.
What format will your Graphic Narrative take?
My graphic narrative is an Illustration. I thought it would link in pretty well to place the lyrics inside the design of the Jack Daniels bottle as the song I have chosen is talking about being Drunk and alcohol. I thought that this would look pretty cool and suit the song well. My main focus is my typography because I will need to emphasise the detail on the design of the Jack Daniels so it looks identical and so it's clear for others to understand. Ive decided to not include the design of the bottle and only the label as I think it looks better.
My second main focus will be the font as the JD design uses curvy and bold text which is really important to get right otherwise it won't have the effect of looking identical.
How will you change your script to make it more
modern, historical or futuristic twist to your script, illustrating a
mood/style or intended target audience?
My script is pretty historical as the design I've used for my graphic narrative on the whole is being based on Jack Daniels which as been around for years.
What designers or illustrators do you feel will
influence and inspire the style you are working toward and why?
For my influences on my graphic art work I've been inspired by "BMD Design" who are a French illustration company. There design styles are very similar to the appearance of the Jack Daniels design, with a lot of defined text, not much colour, curvy and bold fonts that have been written inside shapes of objects etc.
I like they way their designs aren't very colourful but are still quite eye catching and interesting to look at.
I think BMD Design will inspire the style I am working towards as our designs are quite similar which makes it easier to gain inspiration, and we both have the same outcome aim which is for our design to still be eye catching and interesting to look at even though it doesn't include colours.
Which techniques and materials do you hope to use?
List and include source i.e. collage, photographic, typography, drawings,
diagrams etc…
My main techniques are going to be hand sketching/drawing with the help of a light box from College, with a lot of typography and detail to text and design. For this I will just be using a dark shaded pencil and then to outline it and make it appear more bold I will go over it with a black ink pen to make the text also stand out.
