For our final project we have to base our work around one out of 6 themes. The themes to choose from are; Memory, Classification, Invention, Extinction, Alternative worlds or Diversity. During the presentation, I immediately narrowed down my options to Alternative worlds or Extinction. As I aspire to illustrate for children and younger audiences, I was trying to think how I could translate one of those two themes into a children's narrative.
I have chosen to go with the theme of Extinction, and more specifically focus on a story related to extinct creatures that were wiped out with the dinosaurs. I would like to make a children's book which is heavy on visual imagery and has less text, along with an accompanying piece such as a children's card game involving the characters, or possibly soft toys, clothes or figurines.
It was a very difficult decision picking between the two options, however I feel the theme I picked is more relevant for my target audience.
I may have a go at creating a zine relating to 'alternative worlds' in the future, as this is a topic that really interests me.
