Chris Ware's work is renowned for its uniquely non-narrative sequences. Examples of the methodologies this artist practices in his own work are presented below.
For the first report, I created an illustration in the infographic style of some of Ware's more notable works. While this methodology makes the sequence difficult to read, it allows spacial freedom. This sequence in particular shows a person at work being bored, from dusk to dawn, or vice-versa (depending on where the reader starts).
For the second report, I created a continuing illustration in the style of raccord. The above sequence represents the panels of a window, with varying seasons of Spring, Autumn and Winter displayed out of each panel - from the sky and mountains, down to a dense forest. It can be viewed as a single illustration, as well as individual images.
For the third report, I created a faux advertisement for hats. This illustration incorporates the winding lines and circles representative of Ware's graphic works. Through its simplicity, the reader can quickly deviate the meaning of the image - that a person will be improved after buying a hat. This is shown by the green circle at the end of the line journey, denoting a positive outcome for the customer.
Cut-out toy
For the final report, I created a cut-out toy car that can be folded to make a 3D model. While it was difficult to envision the placement of the different sections on a 2D scale, it afforded me time to think about the proportions and dimensions of each more thoroughly.
