Here's My Plan...

Having decided to use pennant flags as the visual metaphor of my project is not enough. I started looking at the possibilities this could bring. With a kind reminder from an instructor saying that we only have 7 weeks lefts, I had to nail down the deliverables.

A Happy Kit (This is the name for now, I'll think more on it)

1. Book
- Photographs, illustrations, and my own writing about happiness (eg. stories I've heard, experiences, childhood memories, etc...).
- My goal for the raw materials in the book (for now...):
- 8-10 photographs
- 8-10 illustrations
- 20 short writing entries
- Instruction of the making the flags (vector illustrations)
* the number would be more solid once I've sketched out my plan
- Concept:
- Make it open-ended (illustrations and writings)
- Bridge the gap between the reality and imagination with the combination of photography and illustration.

2. Printed Flags (to be photographed)
- 6 to 8 good word combos.
- print 20-30 for each word combo.
- white on solid coloured flags
- sewn individual velcros
- blank flags (include in the kit)

3. Posters
- Illustration-heavy posters
- I'm aiming for 3-5
- Use of the flags as the subject and derive bold and imaginative illustrations.

4. A housing device for the components.

......... okay, let me get onto it. My goal this week is to finish the copy materials I need to write and sketch out my plan for the photo shoot.
