Introduction
From the my first moment at Freestyle I have begun to create, whether it be graphical images or vast swathes of text. It has necessitated a place to archive the most valuable parts of my works, and thus arose this project – a work in and of itself to preserve the others so that even if my memory fails me, the cold words wont.
Narrative Illustration
The image here was created by myself using Adobe Illustrator. The intent of the project was, with our narrative short story, combine the attributes of the main character into a hybrid creature. The creatures I selected were an Owl, Moth, Bat, Jellyfish and a Sea Turtle. Thus above is the result of the combination.
Short Story Album Art
For the Short Story that we wrote, we had to do a dub of it along with making album art. Although I did not do the narration of the short story, I did do the album art based on the story itself – that story being Barratry. Due to its setting, I made it navy blue with the stars in the background, giving everything a slight glow. As for the symbol, it is simply an icon of my creation that has stuck with me for a long time and gone through many, many adaptations.
Narrative Portrait
Finally, we have the narrative portrait. My subject was my brother, who I photographed as the main character in a fitting environment, with red lighting to both portray the mood and to simulate the actual environment. The green apple itself was actually red, but was edited to be green in order to make for a more interesting image, and guide the viewers eyes.
