Dream Dictionary

Hey there,
this is the latest project from my illustration course. 'Dream Dictionary' is a book by a guy called Tim Etchells where various things that we see in dreams have a definition. This was all fiction, but the definitions were quite interesting. The task was to illustrate 8 of these definitions and put them into a folded book. The process that we have to use was printmaking so the students had to go to the printroom and print images which we have planned in our sketch books.

These photos here are the before and after images of each definitions.


Image 1: Wearing a Wire










Image 2: Carpet Burns












Image 3: Cure for Cancer










Image 4: Crop Circles










Image 5: Moon Bisected by a Tiny Slither of Cloud












Image 6: Polystyrene Fruit












Image 7: Dissolving Stiches













Image 8: Movie















The Images of the right, has the writing the other way round becuase I thought that I'll be print the images on steel. I did the writing this way because it would be easy for me to write it when it cames to printing.


But now I have to use digital prining. This is done by:


* Scanning the images


*Positioning them in the correct order


*Saving them as PDF.


*Print them out on the sheet.


The images will be put in a certain position they would look like this:






















The book will be very large. I decided to leave them as A3 images instead of changing them to A4. The images will be placed on A0 on computer.
Hopefully when the book is completed, I will be showing how it looks like.
