During the meeting, the director looked at my three initial ideas for the poster and seemed very enthusiastic about incorporating naval imagery into the poster. Therefore she was drawn to my 'ship in a bottle' idea as she liked the representation of Anne, the protagonist, bottling up her feelings about her engagement to naval captain, Captain Wentworth. She was eager for me to explore naval imagery more and showed me several images of naval imagery ties into 3D work and costume as inspiration.
The set designer, Rhyannan, talked about how she was looking into projecting illustrated images as a backdrop for the set and asked if I would be interested in incorporating this idea into my learning agreement. This was an idea that intrigued the director and she suggested we both looked into GOBO lighting, that allows a silhouette image to be projected across the stage. Its an idea i'm willing to look into especially if my final outcome could be viewed by a wider audience.
This meeting proved very helpful and starting to build more skills as an illustrator, being able to negotiate my ideas outside of the university environment. I have still have a lot of development to do and I'm eager to explore other techniques that may drive my practice more.
