Ever since i watched the documentory for The End of the Line , i can't stop thinking about fish.
One of the messages i took from the film was that the ocean is a beautiful place, it showed some great visuals of fish and how all sea creatures live. Experimenting with Ink has given me some really delicate and obscure outcomes, but i'm trying to relate this to what we find in the ocean.
I will post some images up soon, although me and my scanner are not on good terms at the moment. In the meantime i'm off to watch The Little Mermaid, another way to experience what is going on in the water world.
To Fish Or Not To Fish?
I have had the breif to my Professional Practice Module for over a week now, and its starting to sink in. It's about a campaign project called "The end of the line" , the world is over-fishing and we're running out of fish fast!
My illustration task is to design a book cover (front, back and spine) for The End of the Line by Charles Clover. I can only use ink, in black and one other colour, and i must create my own hand-drawn type.
So my first thoughts were to research the campaign, and play around with ink. So for the last week i have done just that , and i have learnt new facts about the fishing world and i have discovered some really interesting and effective marks through using ink.
Today i watched the film documentory from the campaign. I feel guilty for having salmon in my freezer and tins of tuna in my cupboard. Running out of fish and how that effects the worlds' ecosystems and oceans is scary- the scale of the problem is much larger than i thought. It was a great insight to watch this film and see whats really going on across the planet.
I'm going to research into fish species that have severely decreased, i want to see what they look like so as i can interpret this accurately through an illustration.
I had no idea how big a Blue Fin Tuna was - Finding Nemo did not warn me about any of this! :)
