Our brief is to design a book cover for any adult book we chose. The book I have chosen is 'The Lovely Bones' by Alice Sebold. The first week of our project has been allocated to research. At the end of the week we are to give a 10 slide presentation of our research using either Prezi or Powerpoint. I am going to present mine using Prezi. The 10 slides are as follows:
Slide 1: Title and author
Slide 2: Synopsis (150 words) and 3 words to sum up the feeling of the book
Slide 3: Location
Slide 4: When
Slide 5: Main Characters
Slide 6: Theme
Slide 7: Theme
Slide 8: Typography
Slide 9: Mood Board
Slide 10: 2 Book Covers that we like
Presentation viewable below:

Sculpture Elective
Project: Five Senses
We started by taking the five senses and creating mind maps. From these we made further mind maps, from which we chose a verb to continue using throughout the project.
I chose the verb: 'to struggle'.
I used this as a start to design and cast two hand positions - a strangling pair of hands and one hand being strangled by another. From here I made various casts in different materials, experimenting with texture, shape, form and material.

Print Elective
For this project looking at the space around us, I returned to my photographs of Limerick, from the Urban Environment brief.
I chose a select few photos and used them along side new found images for inspiration and to get a vibe for the work I wanted to create.
I began by looking at composition, colour and texture, then turned to shape later. I played around with layering colours of varying shades to emphasis depth and also touched on positive and negative space in my third and fourth prints.
The main subjects of my pieces were organic; stone and natural materials such as wood. However, I also looked at brickwork; a man-made version of a natural material.
I didn't want my pieces to be neat of specific, I enjoyed the process of creating, experimenting and not knowing what the exact result would be, and I wanted this to show in my work. I think this gives a 'rugged' feel to my prints, which I am happy with.
