I am making it all on photoshop but using my mono print textures - I would love to try do it all by hand but it would take far too long. Also this long image would look good if it was slightly animated, which I might consider if I have enough time - so to make that easier it is best to have all the bits made on photoshop.
This is it so far which I am happy with. I want to try and limit the colour palette as much as possible to make sure it flows nicely. I'm a bit stuck on the background - I definitely want one but the one here is a bit too distracting.
Some initial ideas for the synergy between essay and practical:
- essay looks at ways propaganda filtered into culture, children's books was one of them.
- these books were very educational, didn't encourage imagination of fictitious characters, they often involved lenin, and working class people being the heroes
- communism was conveyed (subtly and unsubtly) as the dream
- in my concertina, it is aimed at educating children about the complex history of the russian revolution
- but it isn't objective, there is definitely a stand being taken that Tsar was bad, and Lenin was good, that he was the hero and communism was the right way to go - could be seen as propaganda?
