Assignment 5 Applying the Techniques of Illustration and Narrative

For this assignment i had to create a series of pictures for a magazine, illustrating ad narrating a story.
The subject i decided to narrate, was of a day trip to Liverpool docks.
For my front cover photograph, i wanted something that was bright colourful, was obvious of the location/ subject and eye catching.

When you think of being by the sea, or along the riverside you think of sunshine and enjoying ice cream. on a leisurely stroll perhaps.
So i chose a photograph of a vintage ice cream van. The vintage van looks nice set in front of a dockside of old buildings. The reds in the buidlings and the reds in the van make it pop.
The van also says liverpool on it, telling of the location.
The main aspects of the setting and the story can be taken from this photograph which is why i would put it on the front cover.

The photographs going inside the magazine will be set in chronological order to tell the story of events. But can be split into groups of time/ place. Each group of pictures should remain on the same page/ spread of pages but can be separated from other groups by page/text/advertisement.

A very grey, foggy start to the day in Worcester. An early morning train journey to Liverpool. Here's hoping the weather gets better.

We arrived at Liverpool to a beautiful day.

We made our way to the docks and took in the views

A city bike ride perhaps?

We took in some of the dockside attractions/ landmarks as the sun began to come out

We then went for a romantic leisurely stroll along the water enjoying the sunshine

Many people had attached locks to the fence along the water

Many as friends, many as lovers.
We decided to add our own and be a part of it.

We then headed back towards the town

But not before enjoying an ice cream or two

A quick spot of shopping along the high street before we had to catch our train home
