UEA Collaboration

In this project I was written a character by Jake Reynolds from the UEA Creative Writing course to respond to, and then it would go back and forth, each time us responding to the other's last piece of work.

The first image I sent was of his character in a park waiting to meet her Nephew who had written a damning article on her childcare, and she wants to set the record straight.


He continued to expand upon this character giving more insight to her state of mind. After a workshop thinking about physically manipulating a double page spread I came up with this idea.


He then took the narrative to twitter, tweeting as though he was the character, Meredith. Because so much was going on in the story it made sense for me to create a series of images displaying the thoughts and emotions the character was experiencing in the form of twitter headers. The images were driven by the restricted format of the header and newspaper grids, combining the visual language of twitter and newspapers.






I then translated this look back to the Penguin double page format in a jarring way.


The shapes and lines were all based on a grid for the perfect page layout.
