For this mini project I completed over the summer of 2022 ahead of my second year of studying at the Fashion Retail Academy, I selected a book to read and create several physical sketchbook pages about. I selected A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams which contains many themes to explore that gave me scope to physically illustrate the mood being communicated by Williams. I began with contextual research surrounding the author, societal context of the time period the play is set in, and broader themes. I then moved onto quotes in the play separated into different sections regarding settings, descriptions, conflict/tension, and sexuality. This built up my ideas as I progressed through my pages, which is clear in the storytelling of my work, with little to no extra notes added on. Towards the end, I began to consider some line up ideas for the themes and quotes in the play I had researched and presented in the sketchbook. I am very happy with my final line ups as they use mixed media methods and are relevant to the play and its context.
