This is the final version that was turned in, mounted on black board. There are some changes that need to be made, primarily that the bottom of the hill needs to be stretched down into the foreground and cropped so it’s not just floating above the bottom of the square. Some text needs to be moved around and the instructor would like more depth. I got a B but I can make changes to bump it up to an A. I’ll get around to that eventually.
Here are the six thumbnails that I came up with in one post. I know a couple already have their own posts, but I’ll probably go back and delete those.
Jack fell down
and broke his crown
But nobody wants to know him
Day after day, alone on the hill
and he never gives an answer
This is a rough idea of what might be able to be done with the provided dingbats for the first of the six narratives. Thumbnails will be made for all six, and probably posted here. A lot more work will be done in illustrator on the final one, including manipulating and dissecting the dingbats in much more detail than was done here, of course, but this is just a rough idea.
So it turns out that I wasn’t completely clear on the assignment. We were not expected to make only one narrative out of the given lines from “Jack & Jill” and “Fool on the Hill”. Rather, we were meant to do six narratives with accompanying thumbnails, then one will be selected for a final to be presented – printed and matted.
The images will be contained in 6 4.5″ x 4.5″ squares on a black 15″ x 20″ board with 1.25″ horizontal gutters, a 1.5″ vertical gutter and 2.25″ vertical margins and 2″ horizontal margins.
Images will be made using provided dingbats file images.
Here are the six rewrites:
Jack fell down
and broke his crown
they can see he’s just a fool
but nobody wants to know him
day after day, alone on the hill
and he never gives an answer
Jack & Jill
went up the hill
but the fool on the hill
they can see he’s just a fool
but nobody wants to know him
and he never gives an answer
To fetch a pail of water
the man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still
and broke his crown
day after day, alone on the hill
they can see that he’s just a fool
and he never gives an answer (((or: but nobody wants to know him)))

(((alternatively swap the last two lines)))
So, for Design Media, we’re required to take 6 lines total from “Jack & Jill” and “Fool on the Hill” and make a new narrative, then use dingbats the instructor provides to create a visual of the narrative.
Here is the new narrative. Visual will be done in illustrator (why illustrator for what seems to be a cut-and-paste assignment, I don’t know, but that’s what she wants us to use).
