I will....

I want to design an  object based on buildings and shop facades and structure. It’ll be aimed towards children, using screen print for the main blocks of colour, and gouache, as well as other mixed media.

A character could move through a scene of the town, making it interactive and engaging.
This could be done with a magnet covered with the design.

I could create a map - like the ones I picked up in Antwerp. The illustrations mixed with information made them fun to read and simple with pictograms.
They also could be collectables as each town had a cover by different artist.
I could make a map of cheltenham for new students to the area or tourists, as it popular with many.

From my observational sketches of the shop fronts, I can create and merge them into imaginary buildings, using my imagination.

Maps found in Antwerp -

Front cover of Leuven. Fun font and limited colour pallette.

 

List of bars are matched with coloured bottles.

The map in the centre is surrounded by advice from locals, they say where the best breakfast cafe is, or where thee is secret markets.

Front cover for Ghent. The tourists are swept up in the middle, with their backpacks, looking lost. A black and red pallet are used for this map.

Places nearby that also have maps. 

I looked up these maps, they’re made by USE-IT who create up to date maps for young travellers, made by locals.

The artwork this year is different from last year! They update it all the time.
