For my BA7 project I have chosen to design and illustrate the front and back cover and two interior images for John Cheever's short story The Swimmer.
I first read the story last year for another project, and I was particularly interested in the way in which reality seems to fall apart around the protagonist over the course of his journey. It is written in such a way that as a reader it becomes harder and harder to tell the truth from Ned's imagination or memory.
I would like to try to capture some of this confusion in my illustrations - showing the progression his mental state through a series of illustrations. What these might be of and the media I might use is still undecided, but I will use a variety of techniques in my experimentation.
