Assignment 15: research and inspiration

Research:
Illuminated Manuscript is a "manuscript in which the text is supplemented by the addition of decoration, such as initials, borders, etc." says wikipedia.

Brainstorming: 
- use mostly primary colors (red, green, blue, maybe orange)
- Song choice:

  1. Dont Change
  2. I'd Rather
  3. Let Me Love you
  4. California King Bed
Inspiration:
This specific design i like because it has the "L" illuminated and the background is very bright so it attracts me to the piece, they have different sizes for the beginning letters for important sentences. However, the letter is the same color and i just find this piece of art very interesting. I want to idolize the background in my piece.


This piece has a nice flowing design without the whole piece. The background and the letter "D" both use the same colors and the "D" reminds me of the stained glass you may see while staring at a church window around this time. Which has a nice flow to me.

I like the idea of the illuminated letter not being in the top left corner which in most of the examples it was in the top left corner. This piece is unique to me because it is not found there. It makes you look around the whole piece instead of making the main picture or illumination in the center of the entire piece that we are forming.
