Assignment 1 Fly Me To The Moon

Objective: You are to choose one song from the list below, appreciate the song, hear it through and understand the lyrics. You are then required to sketch initial ideas , figure out  storyline, illustrate and compose and animate a ‘moment’ base of your understanding from the chosen song. This moment will be the album cover. Illustrated typography must be included. Foreground mid ground and background must be considered and illustrated.

Then songs list are as below:

• Fly me to the moon
• The way you look tonight
• Come fly with me
• Girl from Ipanema
• New York, New York

And I chose fly me to the moon as the song I express

fig 1.1 Initial sketches

This song is romantic and deeply in love,  and I chose minimalist art to express the album cover

I was inspired by the lyrics, 

'Fill my heart with song', So I drew a boy who plays and sings on his guitar, 

fig 1.2 cover ver of this song

The inspiration of the musical instrument came from this music video, I think it's more romantic to play this song on guitar

Guitar riffs do a better job of showing the narrative of the song

I think this song is for a loved one.

I want to interpret the feeling of

'As he sings and guitars, their consciousness flies to the moon together'

After that, I made some changes for the initial artwork, because its not creative enough

I make the moon as the vinyl record player

I want to interpret is ' the song we play, moon will remember for us'
