"Is Mise...Cogito" : Considerations when constructing the visual elements of the book.By Andrew Whitson

My Studio

Due to the use of Photoshop when putting together this book, my illustration technique will be informed by the application of this software once all the assets have been collated.Therefore, as you can see the layouts on the page are determined by these future considerations.Also the idea that this will eventually also be an E-Book with an accompanying movie has shaped how I approach illustration.In the past I would have considered an image in a traditional way ( just one image) however with the desire to create moving images the illustrations are now constructed by illustrating each aspect of the overall image separately in order to allow "Layers" to be assembled and used accordingly.This provides a more flexible working platform that can be exploited in various ways depending on the product.
