I have experimented with the task of creating illustrations from music, but using a collage approach, however I will still also complete the task in the Illustrator technique too. I decided to listen to my favourite song from each film for my chosen books, the songs I chose were; The Lion King 'I just can't wait to be king, Aladdin 'A whole new world' and Cinderella 'A dream is a wish your heart makes'. When watching the animated song videos, I made notes of interesting imagery that I saw throughout each video. I wanted my collages to look ambiguous, different to what the typical books covers for them look like as they all mainly use the same type of imagery; e.g. illustrations of the main characters with the title of the movie/book. I really enjoyed creating these collages and finding interesting language to go with them.
List of imagery notes from The Lion King 'I just cant wait to be king'; trees, birds, soil, lions, tigers, giraffes, leaves/flowers, elephants, water/rivers, family, feathers, green zebras, red rhinos, monkeys
List of imagery notes from Aladdin 'A whole new world'; magic carpet, skyline, starts/starry skies, night time, moon, jewellery/gold, temples, flowers, clouds, fireworks, birds, rivers, pyramids, statues, horses, lights
List of imagery notes from Cinderella 'A dream is a wish your heart makes'; bed head, the little blue birdies, hair brush, shoes, the mice, window, wand/needle, old clothes/rags, sewing materials, clock, apron, bed
These are my favourite collages for each book.
