Turn Of Phrase - University Brief

Ok, so for this brief we had to pick any phrase we wanted, and visual portray it through the medium of an artist book or film/video/animation.

I picked the phrase 'Back To Square One', and have decided to gather inspiration from the origin on the phrase. I'm not going to bore you with the facts and dates, but a brief summary of the origin and how i have approach this task.

The phrase 'Back To Square One' originated from football commentary, before we had TV's, the football pitch was dived int 8 separate squares (1-8) and the commentator would shout out which square the ball was in, so that the listener at home on the radio would know where the ball was on the pitch.
Taking this notion, i have watched a football game and have noted which square the ball moved to throughout the entire game and have taken this information and have designed 2 books. The First Half and the Second Half.







This is just the initial stages of my book, a quick 150pg mock up of how the book will look and feel. From my feedback, i intened to change the cover to a less complicated design and make the overall book for interesting and engaging.
