Plan for project

(transcribed from scrawly notes)

A book, beginning entirely traditional and depicting traditional processes, middle combination? end section entirely digital depicting digital 'revolution'.
Processes - Letterpress, screen print, painting, pencil, straight onto the paper? or find out how they got drawings to print in the past.
Combined- traditional drawings, enhanced by digital or digitally printed, screen prints using digital processes, modern pens?
Digital - entirely photoshop/illustrator, sketch too, digital type

Front cover and back cover, front letterpress back digital.
All digitally printed? experiment with possibilities?
Inlay pattern front analogue, back digital.
What to draw?
People drawing, using processes?
Draw processes
Unified by visual?
How if methods so different? colours? but then cant compare colour freedom in digital... two colours variations, so can compare printing of same colour in contrasting mediums
Incorporate motif of Digital and analogue, dials and buttons?

Stuff to get pictures of..
Computers and development
tablets and cintiqs
pens, old, new, development, tool, brushes, digital and real, paint
type - calligraphy and illumination, drawn and digital
Finding reference images in the old timey way, books and photographs, and life
ames guide, t-square
printing stuff, screens and beds, presses
as a timeline of significant inventions and developments
paint and ink/ digital colour
the 'tool box' through the ages?
keyboard shortcuts


SO BASICALLY I'm planning to make a book half digital and half analogue with a crossover in between that depicts various tools and processes and people using them.
Or potentially a timeline of some kind, a time line of the tools available, or the typical illustrators toolbox throughout the ages.
