Visual Poetry Drawings

Overall, I found the Visual Poetry task challenging but fun. The process of creating each image was very time consuming and required a lot of patience in terms of aligning everything up after every change made. However, it was fun once you got into a routine and when seeing it change from basic lines of text into an illustration/piece of visual poetry. I experimented with complex designs as well as creating some more simple designs. In my opinion, the more complex designs work best because of all the intricate details, however, the simpler designs have a nice abstract feel to them.

Aladdin:

• Image 1 is based on settings; temples, pyramids and sand sculptures often appear throughout the movie, the triangle represents a pyramid. I chose the words 'Wealth in the Arabian City of Agrabah' as wealth and money is a huge importance throughout the movie (the reason why Aladdin and Jasmine can't be together at first), and Agrabah is where it is set.
• Image 2 is based on the magic lamp; the lamp plays a huge part in the story line because of its magical powers.
• Image 2 is also based on settings similar to Image 1. I have illustrated a palace similar to how Jasmines Palace looks; sort of like a temple.

The Lion King:

• Image 1 is based on a particular frame in the movie which shows Simba, Timon and Pumbaa cross a tree trunk bridge in the jungle. The brown is the bridge and the blue is the moon. For language I have chosen the famous saying from the book 'Hakuna Matata' 
• Image 2 is an illustration of a jungle plant, this represents Simbas time in the Jungle (childhood through to adulthood when he returns home)
• Image 2 is an illustration of a giraffe to represent the animal kingdom within the movie. The movie is all about the lions which is why I wanted to create a piece of visual poetry using a different animal, the animal kingdom is huge.

Cinderella:

• Image 1 is based on Cinderellas glass slipper. The glass slipper is a huge importance to the story line of the book/movie. I have illustrated my idea using song lyrics from the movie; 'A dream is a wish your heart makes'
• Image 2 is based on Cinderellas friendship with the birds that visit her window every morning, the birds are her only friends when she is kept as a slave by her step family.
• Image 3 is an illustration of a crown to represent when Cinderella becomes a princess.
