This was an idea of for a random month, some months fell under no direct theme so I thought it could be a time to play around with ideas. I thought about how it would be interesting to know who was behind the Simpsons characters. An idea I have played around with:
I was influence by a visiting professional Robbie Porter, one of the pieces of work he had produced that I really liked was where he had the edge of the page folding up. I thought this could be a good way to show what could be underneath? What is behind Homer's face?
Sketching out Homer (quite difficult to make exact simpsons look, but I thought I wanted it to look a bit like my illustration style so that at the end the covers all work as a set?)
Once scanned in I started to play around with adding the corner peeling off:
Adding type, experimenting with layout, the yellow colour is the exact Simpsons hex - FECB00
Once I felt a type layout and text I felt worked enough for now, I began to explore the image further.
Longer, more drawn out fold, where Homer is also smaller.
Type coming out further towards image,
I felt that the folds weren't looking realistic enough... after playing around with image size, text layout, fold size, I decided to try producing a fold on illustrator.
This fold was produced on illustrator, its a white triangle with curved angles, with a grey shading/line on two of the sides. I feel this one works a lot better now that it looks a little more like a curve, and it's also more subtle so the drawing is the main focus.
