Hotdog book ideas development

Today in our group we went about coming up with ideas for our hotdog book. We all picked similar moments from the day to explore further - the pigeons, the beautiful statue and 'mustard titty' were the three moments that came up more than once. I drew out some roughs to see how they worked as narratives.

The statue moment I had a bit of trouble with making it interesting so I moved on from that idea, and I really liked exploring the North Bar adventures, but no-one else in the group really like that one, so I scrapped it. A few of the others really liked the pigeon idea, but it seemed a lot of people were doing pigeons so we opted for the 'mustard titty' in the end.

We all drew our own mock-ups and then picked recurring panels across all our mock-ups for the final one and divvied up who would be drawing what. That was a bit weird because in a group project you've got to be fair, even if you feel like you want to draw everything your own way! I picked my two panels but I kinda wanted to do the front too, just because I really like playing around with typography and thought my idea worked well. However, Hayley got the cover and she decided to incorporate the title into smoke coming from the grill. I was  bit disappointed but everyone liked that idea better it seemed so we stuck with that.

We decided on red and mustard yellow because ketchup and mustard.
