the art of looking sideways.

After re-visiting the 'visual communication' project we did in first year, I decided to extract some of my favourite ideas and give them a new lease of life as stand alone illustrations. The brief was to create bookmarks for Alan Fletcher's book 'The Art of Looking Sideways', with each design taking inspiration from the chapter they were to mark.

This piece was inspired by the quote; "If you walk around [Tokyo] nowadays you may notice that the space between some new buildings is just about wide enough to stick your fist in."



Combining the fist with building took various forms over the development, but I think this is the strongest visual I came up with. There is power, humour and wit behind the image of the punching skyscraper. I'm unsure of which background works best for the piece, either the original black or the manila paper. I think I'm warming to the latter.
