My topic was independent bookshops in Wellington Central City. I tried to convey the feeling of being in each bookstore through the perspective and scale, with tall shelves and a small figure, as well as colour to show the atmosphere. I used lines to show the way people move about the bookstore (up ladders; wandering around; lots of people) and patterns on the books and things in the air around the figure to show what type of books the store specializes in (mythology; sci-fi and fantasy; NZ books).
I used the texture of old book pages, made the cover like a book cover, used book-like fonts and layouts to give the whole brochure a bookshop feeling. The pages get lighter and newer looking near the end to show those stores have more newer books.
I found that doing lots of sketches and exploration of illustrative ideas in different styles rather than just going with one of my first ideas works well and means I can combine many of those ideas to get a better result.I think in future I will apply this to the rest of it (fonts, text layout) as well.
