Maggie's Stage Design

Here are my silhouette designs for the characters. Usually, this technique is mainly used for concept design. However, I found this technique very helpful, and allow me to design more distinctive characters.

these are the scanned copies of my journal pages. (sorry about the bad handwriting). 

However, I was really struggling with making interesting designs for Salome, so I decided to leave it for a while.

I attempted to improve my ability to draw people, in preparation for doing costume design. 

Here are my imitation drawings and studies. (some are from Picasso, George Barbier and unknown artists)

The uniqueness of this play is that it the majority of the characters are personified concepts and creatures; Such as night, light, dog, sickness, and silence. Each character has it’s own personality and appearance. This allows me to expand my creative vision and test the limit of the personification of concepts. Moreover, settings of the scenes are also very distinctive, and each has different moods, and styles.

This is an individual project I did for a course at school. Initially, I started with the idea of making a series of stage design for a certain play or book. After a long time of struggling and confusion, I finally decided to design for this play called L'Oiseau Bleu(The Blue Bird). I will use this Tumblr blog to share my works and journal my process. The deadline for this project is April 2018, so, hopefully  I will finish designing for all props, characters, and scene by then.
