Tutorial Notes (Sonja Andrews 18/02/08)

Today Sonja came in for a one to one tutorial which I found to be very useful. A few points that were mentioned are as follows...

• Define my market, Research thoroughly paper products and artists books in particular.
• Liked my book pages, maybe investigate more the folding and pleating of pages and look into the possibility of creating one off artifacts. Lazer cutting and pleating pages etc...
• Strong use of imagery, maybe try to source more victorian imagery to draw from.
• Look into scale, is everything going to be quite small? Vary the scale and form and look into large repeats for wall coverings and paper based products i.e Stationary
• Liked the use of stitch and paper. this should be investigated in more depth throughout PT302 module.
• Drawing! lots of drawing to be done. Simple line drawings and washy colours
• COLOUR! Using my sourced books as reference I think i am going to use quite a muted colour pallete based on the colours within the book. the peaches, pale pinks, dusky blues and violets and green.
  
• Maybe look into Freelance work and creating one off limited collections of books for sale, is every book going to be a one off or should I consider creating a small collection of limited editions i.e 5, 10 or 15.
