Albums with robots on them.

Some of these are great, some are equally as great because theyre appalling. Its starting to give me a good indication of how I can play this brief. at least in terms of the cover. Soon onto development of my idea methinks.

sending ideas over to purple lion

I sent these images over to chris at purple lion just to get an indication of what they had in mind, or if they had any ideas. If not it gives me free reign to do whatever I want, but I would prefer them to hopefully have an idea in mind, and hopefully this set of images will tease that out of them.

I sent a few images of vintage robots, because they are iconic, and in my opinion probably best suited for the imagery on a pop punk bands album, lazer beams coming out of the eyes and all! (as well as gundams, sci fi military bots and the coolest looking robot from Z.O.E - Zone Of the Enders.) I think the broad range of styles of robot here are all easily distinguishable, and i presumed that they would have something in mind along one of these lines. Ill post up another as soon as they get back in touch with me..

initial Research for idea: Operation nothing

Ive been looking at various robots destroying cities to get an idea of what people are doing along the same lines now.





The above video is a) amazing and b) pretty appropriate for the idea that was given to me by purple lion. The design direction of this video fits really well with the tone of what ive been asked to do. I dont think i can make it too serious, but the approach im inteding to take should tackle that.

update on new brief.

I produced an illustration for a t- shirt, but the brief is a bit context- less and I dont feel that its going to really go anywhere, so for that reason, I'm taking it no further, Ive also picked up a live brief which is basically this idea but real, so it seems pointless to carry on with this brief when theres a better one itching to get started. Non the less, doing the first illustration for this brief im dropping, is what got me the live brief, so i suppose i can thank this brief for that if nothing else!

Here's the illustration:

If I'm honest this brief was born out of the need to make more killer illustration i was happy with for my online portfolio. I managed to get it in next months issue of computer arts So i guess this classes as PPD as well..

I have shots of this illustration in context here, which is worth looking at just to see it finalised and in context.

This brief... No more.. it will become clearer as to why i dropped this brief later on in the blog posts as the other briefs im working on develop.
