I have no work to show for my practical outcome apart from a few rough sketches and illustration ideas. The only problem with the illustrations is that they are too similar to his own designs which people just thought seemed a bit pointless as a response. There wasn't much of my design within the work. The comic idea went down really well but after being questioned about the content or storyline as it were the idea seemed to fall apart. Originally I wanted to create a comic having my character The TimeKeeper and Mike's most well known character Hellboy walking along as Hellboy imparted knowledge from the interview as if it were one character teaching another about life. This just sort of seemed like it would drag as the characters would be walking along for too long with not much else going on. I suggested creating some screen printed posters as a series meaning it would relate to both my work using traditional methods and Mignola's work using inspiration from his characters. The only issue I had with this is that there would only be a practical response and would be hard to fit the entire interview in because Mike's answers were so long. There were suggestions that I take key parts from the interview and based the posters around this but I think that this would be too heavily based around the interview and no just around our work.
After the feedback the best method would be something crossed between the poster designs and some sort of booklet.
