After discussion with the rest of the group we came the the decision that we would pursue the Red Bull Campaign. We feel that our illustrative skills will relate well to the mythical creatures idea and that we can think of more interesting characters to pursue from this brief.
We discussed ideas for characters that would be interesting to pursue, considering they must relate well to the idea of rejuvenation and energising. The characters we all initially thought of were; Hercules, Icarus, Hermes and Thor.
So we discussed the idea that our work will focus on gods and iconic characters rather than creatures, and talked about how we would be able to make these characters recognisable. We discussed the idea that all of these characters (Bar Icarus) have been featured in modern cartooning. For Hercules and Hermes Disney, and Thor, Marvel Comics.
Once we had came to that desiccation we set ourselves the work of looking at these versions of the characters and trying to find what it is they used to make these characters recognisable, and how that relates to their original designs.
TD; Research into these characters famous interpretations and original interpretations for ideas on how to make these characters recognisable.
