Med andra bilder inga ord. En illustrerad berättelse.

Abstract

This project has been about illustration, text and format with illustration as the main communication path. A study has been made of how these three elements interact, particularly how text and format affect the illustrations. The goal has been to create an illustrated story in a form of a book. The story is about the feeling of being alienated from other people and invites the reader to make their own interpretations. The main target audience has been the ones who is interested in illustration and storytelling, no matter of age. Colors has been inspired from animated movies and the natur. Various textures such as wood, fabric and metal for example has been scanned to create a rough feeling. Large part of the project has been about finding a personal expression. The final product of the project has became a book. Keywords as roughness, recognition and feeling have guided and inspired the illustrations. Without a text guided story this is a book that would have a natural place in schools and workplaces.
