Week 3: Planning
After getting a rough idea of the world that this journal would be based in, I decided to make a ‘mock journal’ to get an idea of the scope of my project. I opened PowerPoint and started with a plan for how it would be presented in Exhibition, and decided on the book propped up on a display with cautionary posters advising against reading it on the wall around it.
I wanted the book to be dedicated to the protagonist of my IP, with the idea that she could inherit this journal and be inspired to make one of her own that would document her own journey through the game.
Below was the turning point pages for my author, and the tone of the book shifts from judgemental to curious after these pages.
Then the consistent format would begin, with costume and hairstyle concepts, environment and notes on cultural symbols/maps/government structures.
