Ok, so I have hit a little bit of a wall.

For the past couple of days I have been sketching and cutting paper and photocopying because as a result of my RESEARCH (:P) I have come up with a concept I really like. Now, I know we are supposed to come up with more than 1 concept and pick the best, but I really think there might be some strength in this one and I think once I find a way to make it work, I can play around with it and execute it in a bunch of different ways. I have been trying this thing where I really go with my gut, and my gut really likes this idea. But to be on this safe side I am gonna play with this idea till I come up with something that resembles the thought in my head, and then skecth out a few others as backup.

Sorry to be vage, I promise promise promise I will put some sketches up. I don't have my scanner cause I am at the library - I don't have AC or even a fan at home so I am getting stuff done at the library to keep cool and sane. Also, I am taking small steps, so right now my sketches are messy and fastened with tape and look like something that was done by a hyperactive monkey.

I am not worried about having hit the wall, I think I have been trying to wrap my brain around this project for too many hours in a row and I think a nice walk and a starbucks mocha frappe will set me straight.

I am just running into questions . . . how much freedom do I have to play? I am operating under the assumption that I have a lot of freedom, that I can take liberties with this existing cd to fit my concept.
