Project 4 Idea

My “Remix a Story” project will be a mashup of A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin (aka “Game of Thrones”) and The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I will take inspiration from the ASOIAF tradition of personal heraldry and use the Adobe Creative Suite to design sigils for characters in Gatsby.

I will also take inspiration from the advertisements for the Game of Thrones TV series.

My final project will consist of several posters/banners for the characters from Gatsby, which I will post onto my blog. I also hope to be able to print out the posters for added impact while I present.
