Formative Brief 4 - jabberwocky

When reading the poem, I was constantly reminded of a childish nature. More than anything it made me feel like a child, for a couple of reasons. I think one of the main ones was that most of the words, which were jibberish, made you feel like a child reading a story - you may not get every word, but you get the overall point. This is, to me, how the Jabberwocky poem went. It also reminded me of the scary stories we are told as children, with the torches pointing up at our faces to make us look scarier. This lighting, apart from anything else, tends to skew shadows into weird, contorted shapes and perspectives.

With my image, I wanted to convey the idea of childishness, via a scary story aesthetic. The distorted shadow is off a childhood toy, made to look eerie.

I do have an alternative...
