So, I’m going to try my very hardest to illustrate the thought process that has led to my idea for a print.
We start with some of my research, specifically William Nicholson’s woodblock prints.
I was always interested in “D for Dandy”, thinking I could create a similar print but with different fashion I’m interested in. But I realised, I’d be really passionate about a J for Jester.
We can also use a bit of development that’s happened throughout the classes.
We start with this ink drawing I made earlier the semester, which inspired a series of relief prints.
I drew some ideas yesterday, drawing on Nicholson’s images for composition ideas and a wonderful image of Danny Kaye at the end of the Maladjusted Jester too.
The next step is to thumbnail further, creating a few more variations of composition. I want there to be a nice, playful block of black in the back, and I want to keep the image readable. You’ll get what I mean when I mock up some digital thumbnails.
