Stereotypes

On choosing the concept of stereotypes we settled on 5 stereotypes being that of ; hipster, musician, goth, nerd and stoner. I originally decided that I wanted to do illustrations for the project, as illustration is something that I have always liked and wanted to do for a while.

For the illustrations and the basic concept of the zine we wanted the idea of having the stereotypes and making them more abstract and surreal, so therefore pushing the boundaries for the illustrators to work within, which is came across when looking at each others work. We also chose to focus solely on one person in the illustration and too make the piece detailed to therefore it would be of a high quality.

With the new concept of the stereotypes of the NQ some of the group that turned up chose to go to the NQ too get photographs and ideas that would be useful to the work and get references and ideas that we could possibly focus upon. I was looking at the people that concerned each stereotype and what possible attributed they may have.

After taking the photographs we decided to go back to university and see what could possibly be done and used in the zine and create simple ideas and layouts too show the tutors on Friday and present a more detailed idea of our concept and get a more detailed idea of out layout.
