Crazy Fun! & Tim Burton

Today we got our new brief, it started off with a talk about a selection of briefs we could choose from, one was about the future, another was about making an event to wow people, and a couple more but I knew which one i wanted to do straight away - it was a window design for a small local toy shop called Toys & Tales.

Buuuut, in the mean time we had to make ourselves in to crazy monsters and dress ourselves up in paper formed into many kinds of attire and masks... I was the mannequin for this, i loved it!


I got together with friends and we began to talk about what ideas we could implement into the window. We began thinking along the lines of fairytales and magic. I really wanted to do something big and different that would draw people into the shop. Immediately Tim Burton came to out minds and it was decided then we'd have something crazy.

Tim Burton is a popular, well known artist and film director. His movies are like no other, they are recognizable and are slightly humorous, for example his new recriation of Alice in wonderland. He also was the creator of The Nightmare before Christmas which  is a popular film revered by all. He designed the look of that movie.
