Easy-as-cry

Manifesto book taking shape Computer screen gives a preview of what it will all look like once printed onto the three layers of acetate the meditating man that I drew using permanent inks doesn’t seem as effective, perhaps I’ll try photographing someone instead and then photocopying onto acetate

trying another version here where I have toned down the saturation on the flowers as I think it clashes with the dark colour of the green stems.

I figured a good method for my final book would be to use acetate to reveal all the different layers at once as creativity takes many “layers” in order to work and also I love working with acetate you can burn the plastic to distort the image (not the best for mother Earth)

I will be using acetate for the first couple of layers for Go, Meditate and Wonder.

I will be using a different methods one be photography, one layer using markers and another using paints I will be experimenting to find out which works best for which.

These are the words that will be featured in my book 10 rules/guidelines to creativity once I deducted my ideas:

Wonder- Like the mind of a child, stay curious and always ask questions.

Meditate-The daily stresses of life can really dampen your creative thoughts, meditation will help.

Tidy-Organising and tidying up your space has been scientifically proven to reduce stress and fatigue (link below)

Go-Travel and see the world, explore different cultures, nature and take in its beauty.

Exercise-Whether its in a Gym, going for a walk outside or doing squats in your living room, it will help you fidget less in times when you need to concentrate. 

Listen-Listen to music and listen to your friends thoughts and feelings, I know that Music has played a major role in inspiring me in my creativity.

Play-Once the hard work has paid off remember to Play, go out have a drink with friends or order a takeaway whatever makes you happy.

Hydrate- Reduces tiredness and helps concentration.

Show-Your work to people and be able to take criticism and feedback on board you can then choose what to do with that information, as Art is completely subjective. 

Be-Present and in the moment theres no point in worrying about the past the past cannot be changed yet you can learn from the past, worrying about the inevitable future is also pointless be present and be the best you can be in this very moment.

For my “genius idea” I was inspired by 5th element and her instant eye makeup machine I figured I could turn this into a full face makeup machine aimed at busy mums that want to look fabulous but don't have the time or energy and while the machine is doing its magic you can still look fabulous in a range of mask styles of your choice here I done some sketches
