Design development

Planning album content

Since my last post I have been developing the concept of my photo-album. I wanted to strengthen the collection of images my illustrations will be based on so I created a list of potential ideas:

 – Travel through the village capturing images every few moments to gather an illustrated experience of Northenden – A walk through

– Replicate the online archival records of northenden, visiting the same locations and recreating the shots

-Explore northendens key features through close up cinematic illustrastion

I felt the archival album could be a great twist to my concept so I began exploring the online gallery further. My only issue was, I couldn’t recognise all of the places on the online images and some I was certain were areas in disdbury,  I did however find some photos with a road name and some with an address which I found promising.

I have decided the best solution is to produce an illustrated trip through Northenden village, reproducing the images that I can in order with my walk through illustrations.
