DESIGN PROCESS

Emotional Response Collage

Created Using Photoshop

This emotional response came after the first reading of the script. I felt Alma was consumed by this relationship with Johnny.

Disclaimer: I do not claim any artwork used within the collage to be my own.

Visual Inspiration

The director presented the concept of eternity and play taking place in Alma's faded memory. She has gone through remembering the events with Johnny for so long and keeps recycling. This lead me in the direction of faded water colors, broken up photos, sporadic retracing/connecting the dots, and Ivy.

Disclaimer: I do not claim any inspiration artwork to be my own unless otherwise noted.

The final product revolved around coming in and out of Alma's memory. This included the drops flying in and out, the fountain base turntable, and the raised platforms rolling on and offstage.
