Our first assignment in Graphic Design/Illustration was to illustrate an ABC book.
We got a few texts from author Lennart Hellsings classic ‘’Krakel Spektakel ABC’’-book and picked two of them to work with. The imaginary book measured 170x220 mm and we were to include the text, the letter and an illustration. The texts I chose was R & U.
"Rosamunda Annorlunda har en katt som är en hund.
Annorlunda, som du ser, är en stad där allting sker ut-och-in
och bak-och-fram
och upp-och-ned."
”Ulla min sjöjungfru, Ulla Undin
vaggar i havet på en delfin:
Vågorna rulla
våta och fulla
fulla av silver och gull åt min Ulla.”
This is my horrible efforts at translating them:
“Rosamunda Strange has a cat who is a dog.
Strange, as you see, is a city where everything happen outside-in
and inside-out
and upside-down.”
“Ulla my mermaid, Ulla Undin
rocking in the ocean on a dolphin:
The waves are rolling
wet and full
full of silver and gold for my Ulla”
We had about 3 weeks to do it. The ideas sort of splurted out during first class. Hellsings texts were all wonderful. The painting got done the last 3 hours off the day before the assignment was due. And the text-graphics I did in 3 minutes when I was dead tired. Ulla was planned to be a heck of a lot more scarier than she is. Also there's golds in there that the scanner wont pick up. There’s a lot that I would’ve done differently, but for a first Im somewhat pleased.
