Right about now i'm sat with a quizzical look on my face whilst i attempt to stare down my ever mounting mass of papers and cut outs, trying desperately to pull some string of coherent thought out of the mess. And it's not going too well. After hitting a mental block the size of a small mountain for about 2 weeks, i now have 3 semi-formed ideas for my final book. The problem is, none really relate to the theme of 100 (although that can be fairly easily rectified - just do a hundred of whatever), the problem is these ideas are fairly small/basic and i have no idea whether my execution of any would yield results that are even lightly comical let alone interesting. I, friends, am stuck.
No change there then.
The first idea started as a flip chart of face parts, each face part having 6/8/10/12 versions (to correspond with dice that have said numbers), so the reader would roll a die, consequently selecting a face part, and so on throughout the face.
How to apply it to 100? Have 100 faces! Easy. So it cuts out the dice part, so what, thats called idea development.
Then Phoenix showed me this:
Someones already done it.
Numero 2: A Q&A book, but one where you roll a dice to select a question, roll a dice to pick a page and then again for an answer, so in the end you get a completely wierd, yet highly comedic, question and answer session. The only problem is i thought that up yesterday so i have basically no interviews. Ah.
Trois: a flow(ish) diagram or dice-directed turn page book involving actions/daily events.
So now i'm just confused. And they told me i have to work wednesday. Bummer.
