Ideas Development

For my initial two ideas I expanded on them and drew them in proportion to the sizes of the Olio.

For the mermaid, I had to turn her on her side. I couldn't think of an image to lay alongside it, I felt this particular idea was better being solitary. However, I think this particular idea may now need to be put to one side as I feel it loses something being turned horizontally. Also with the gutter you would lose part of the mermaids tail and the image wouldn't flow as well. I think I will revisit the idea for personal work but for Olio I wouldn't be happy to compromise what I think would be a better layout to make it fit this page size.

Working with the Letters to Juliet, I decided to make two separate images. I liked the period idea, of drawing the young girl next to the wall, as if she were actually Juliet. In this sketch I've toyed with the idea of contrasting the old image with a modern setting, a modern home with a girl in modern clothes writing a letter to Juliet. I feel that would show the whole idea of letters to Juliet well. It's a nice idea but personally doesn't feel right to me.
