For the development of my final design I did some digital sketches over the photographs I took of the National Theatre, inspired by the detailed preliminary sketches done by Christo and Jeanne-Claude before the production of their large scale fabric installations.
The design above was based around the point in the story where Hansel and Gretel leave a trail of bread crumbs in order to find their way back home through the forest. However as there are birds in the forest, they come along and eat the bread crumbs and therefore the path they created disappears, leaving them lost in the forest. To illustrate this idea I thought about having a trail of bird foot prints in white following a disappearing trail of bread crumbs. As the foot prints are in white they give the impression that they are invisible or fading into the surface representing the vanishing path.
The second mock up features a forest photographic and watercolour mixed media piece placed on another one of the National Theatre's walls. If I were to take this project further it might be nice to think about having a narrative going across all the walls of the building. Therefore there must be a uniformity of colour and imagery throughout all of the surface designs which is something I would have to consider when expanding the project.
