The secondary part of this project was a large-scale launch event that was held in the Trinity Kitchen in Leeds, where copies of the book could be handed out. Kerry wanted to attempt to make an enormous large scale colouring book page for people to colour on - which used the double page spreads that Paul and Adam made for the book.
Me and adam got invited to visit the Uni to go and look at his design blown up full-size, to make sure he was okay with it. It looked really cool! and it was interesting to see a project approach large-scale illustration work differently to the way me and Tom approached the #Getintocomics project, which was all handpainted (Adam and Paul's designs were vectorised in order for them to be printed full scale like this)
As part of my contribution to this - I helped Martell from Progression find suitable pens to use for a colouring page on this scale. I've had experience of large scale colouring in/painting in the past, and I know a lot about pen types - so I suggested we either went with thick-nib Edding or Berol markers, both of which can be ordered from YPO. They're water-based, not bleedy, and are formulated for kids to use, which makes them suitable for large scale colouring like this.
Whilst this isn't an illustration based exercise - helping to sort this out directly helped when I was later looking at sourcing supplies for the ANORAK magazine brief (Studio Brief 6) - so it ended up being a significant discovery.
