Dingbats: Humpty Dumpty!

In a Nutshell

We were given a set of dingbats (typographical ornaments or symbols) and 4 nursary rhymes to choose from:

1) Humpty Dumpty
2) Jack & Jill
3) Hickory Dickory Dock
4) Baa Baa Black Sheep

Select one nursary rhyme and using the given set of dingbats, create a 6-frame storyboard to illustrate your chosen nursary rhyme.

Choose any dingbats which will best represent your storyboard. Dingbats can be enlarged, shrunk, cropped, overlapped and duplicated as many times as you want.

Try it yourself!

Here’s my take on Humpty Dumpty – slightly violent, but erm, whatever.

Size: 12 cm x 12 cm per frame
Presentation: Black & White; one-spot colour, mount.

*Dingbats were scanned in and put together with Adobe Photoshop CS2 (although we were supposed to do collage work and manually enlarge/shrink images with photocopy machine – which I think is nuts!).

This is the one exercise which I enjoyed most in Design Process. So fun!
