Visual Forms: Repreposal

Repreposal

Just a reminder there are many layers to this module the main part is a research diary and a presentation on a specific topic and the second part is an unrelated sketchbook on a chosen topic from: Ruined civilisation, Market Places or Processions.

Part 1

I was looking at the aesthetics of the art David Mack and his link to the Netflix shows Daredevil and Jessica Jones. I do have a bit of research on these but far as my research has got me it is still not enough to fill my research diary, I have also been warned of not turning it in to a fan letter to Marvel comics and David Mack. I will keep it but i am widening my range to the colours used in setting and how they are comparable to the comic books and Lighting and touching a little bit on semiotics. This has been a bit of a set back for me, I still have the prior research I did but it is just need a re-word and it is due January.

Part 2 

My original proposal for my sketchbook was to look at ruined civilisation in games, mainly looking at backgrounds and setting to start off with then develop in the character design. However, chatting to my lecturer it is clear it is more about -actual- first hand visual studies. Not a research sketchbook in to already done concepts. I can link my research that i find into games and concepts towards the end but fundamentally the core of my sketchbook has to be first hand visual sketches and ideas.
So my new proposal is keeping in mind that I was going use Fallout as my main inspiration i am going to be studying war and as secondary; 50's culture.
My plan is to get into a war museum which would be perfect if i was at my home over the break for a while being as it is very close to a WW2 museum. I am going to have to look in to museums in the area.
I plan on starting off by looking at typewriters and technology that is rarely used nowadays, perhaps uniforms and weapons that are now modified and then the horrors of war and then perhaps some of my own concepts and then some research into artists that have studied this topic before.

Below are some shots from Fallout that were the main inspiration for my research.
