SB3 | Chomsky

Although I seem to have a lot more ideas on Howard Hughes at this point, part of me really wishes I could do the same with what I now know about Chomsky.

Because Chomsky is such a tough nut to crack I feel it would be quite rewarding to suss out something for him? I also don't want it to look like I'm taking the easy road by not choosing Chomsky...wehh...

But I soon found that when I was drawing, I was having trouble translating this person and their lifes work into images. Making something that is heavily theory-based, and on non-physical concepts into visuals is really difficult

Another worry was that if I stuck with this, I could be shooting myself in the foot and end up making final outcomes that were a bit rubbish because I felt obligated to take the *~intellectual high road~*




Ideas I had were using mark making and abstract forms to illustrate mental processes and functions, or linguistic theories I had briefly looked into. Another one was to somehow involve type, also going along with the linguistics theme.

(Sorry Noam, but..) I feel that the what I've found out about Hughes is more dynamic (events, happenings, occurences), has more of a mood and atmosphere, and translates better visually without completely turning into a portrait brief.
