For this task, we were given the brief to make thumbnail visuals for a play poster. I decided to chose ‘Cat on a Hot Tin Roof’ a 1955 play by Tennessee Williams. In this project, we had to design forty initial thumbnail visuals, using a range of mediums, and then narrow that down to five designs to refine before we decided upon the final three client visuals to present. ![]() Before beginning this however we were given the small task of drawing out twenty four chairs as thumbnail visuals. Starting this task proved difficult for working in a fast way was something I am not used to, as I like to spend more time on pieces but for this task, the key was to work quickly. Although I didn't get to complete all twenty four in the one hour time frame, as I was working a little slower than I needed to be, this task proved that I could work in a quick way, getting pen to paper and getting any idea that came to mind down quickly, as was going to be the key to this project. This activity did help when it came to preparing for what I needed to do over the upcoming week and got me in the mindset to be working quickly and efficiently through all forty client visuals. All together, I did manage to make all forty visuals, working a the pace that I needed to be working at to get all the tasks finished, however, it proved to be stressful working so quickly. As I went along, as well as creating new ideas, I also began to mess around with and refine some ideas within the forty without even realising it because as I was working, I found ways to better some of the ideas I had already gotten down, whether that was by moving the text, or some of the composition of the piece. I believe that I was so stressed and panicked about finishing on time partly due to the materials I used, as ink and watercolour needed time to dry in-between working. Although I could work on a couple at the same time, if I were to do this again, I would rethink the materials I used.
