Brief Title - Folio Society American Gods
Brief - For this brief I intend to produce a set of illustrations for the book American Gods by Neil Gaiman, I will produce them in the same format as the Folio Society.
Product - The product for this brief will be a folio society style reissue for American Gods, to do this I will need to produce a slip case with foil detailing. I will also produce a book cover front and back design and also 5 interior illustrations based on scenes in the book.
Tone of Voice - For this book I want to capture the mysticism and the mystery of American Gods, The book is quite dark and I really want the illustrations to capture this. I want the illustrations to be cinematic and be heavily layered and detailed so on every viewing the reader ill notice something new.
Audience - The audience for this will be fans of the Folio society and Neil Gaiman, I think it's important for this project to really capture the high end appeal of the Folio Society reissues and make a well considered piece that wouldn't look out of place among other Folio books.
Context - The context of the illustrations will be within a book and as a cover and slipcase so it's important that they wouldn't look out of place in somewhere such as Waterstones.
Additional Notes - This brief is a revisit to one of my more succesful briefs from last year for OUIL 503 I feel that I would approach the brief very differently now so I've decided to go back to it and have another go at tackling this source material. This brief has a very different approach to last time though as instead of a television series the illustrations are for the book.
Deliverables - A slipcase cover, Front and back cover and 5 interior illustrations. The designs will be mocked up on boards.
