For my creative project I want to do a "series" of smaller components. I am thinking of writing a listicle, making an infographic, and creating some sort of photo essay or compilation of images.
Listicle: I want to focus my listicle on a sub-topic of my research. I am thinking something like "10 Great Moments of Irony in Austen" or "10 Instances of the Gothic in Austen." Is this weird or would it work?
Infographic: I think I will use my infographic to visually display the connection between Austen and awe. My connections are really complex and hard to simplify so an infographic would both force me to get a real handle on my argument and explain it in terms understandable by everyone else.
Image compilation: I am really struggling with this component because I have this AWESOME idea in my mind, just no way to make it happen the right way. The theme of this section will be the "monster" that Austen's body of work has become. It has been enlarged, distorted, destroyed, and twisted through all of its reworkings. I can also connect this to Frankenstein, a similar work that has been "monsterized" by society. In my mind I see an awesome series of drawings depicting this gradual morph into monster (i.e. a book getting bigger and nastier until it becomes an actual monster, complete with zombie heads and all that fun stuff). But I can't draw. Could I show the same sense in a photo essay? Any other ways to make this work? Or should I just start practicing my sketching . . .
