Finally! I was beginning to get worried that I wouldn't be able to settle on an idea that seemed both feasible AND interesting. I was knocking around at least four or five ideas for the last few weeks!
Anyhow, I know it's a bit of a departure from what I was thinking on the first day, but I'm going to be going with large scale posters, done digitally. I'm aiming for 25 x 40 inches in size, done in sets of three, and as many sets as time allows for.
As for what and how, I plan to write out stream of consciousness writings, based on some writing prompts. From each of these writings, I'll take three sections of 1000 words, and create an icon (25x40px) that personifies each of those sections. I'll blow up that image to be a whopping 1dpi, wherein I'll put one word of each text segment in to each 'pixel'. The solid coloured sections of the icons will then individually have more detailed imagery put in to them, done in something like 3 or 5 shades of the original colour, as to maintain the mosaic appearance of the original icon
when viewed from afar.
Any thoughts or criticisms on this idea? I'm organizing myself tonight. Tomorrow I begin the first set -- aiming to have two ready for Oct 2nd's bench mark, if all goes to plan.
