xlindee Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 What are you talking about? You climbed into my brain, stole my thoughts and you then dare claim it was your idea ?? I'm shocked! Thanks for posting! It looks like there are images from Wire services, am I wrong ? Were there pix from fans in the timeline ? Probably not. Not that I know of though...

melman92 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I hadn't seen your post before I don't think we'll be able to, unless Mika does *nothing* for therest of the year IIRC last year, we sort of blended things together -- for example we can say something like: January 28 through February 15, 2008: toured North America, starting in Quebec, ending in Vancouver We might have some from outside the awards shows, but the only ones of Mika holding the awards will probably be from news agencies. We'll need to double-check with Melanie on how we handle that. We aren't going to be able to use a photo from every event, in any case -- the timeline would take up far too many pages then Well there's going to be a dvd (and a cd) of the Parc des Princes Show,so there's already one thing! IIRC ? Did you have such problems last year with award ceremonies? Yeah I understand, it'd be way too long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melman92 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Probably not. Not that I know of though... IMO, we should use more photos from fans, it'd be a bit more "personal" even if we can't always do that Anyway, have you seen the poster for the parc des princes ? I was thinking that we could write the months (or anything else) with a similar font as "Mika", it's so beautiful ! And to contrast from the other timeline, it could be something a bit more colourful, like the poster with the same kind of colours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melman92 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Bumpety Bump! (quoting FD ) Soo.. I got an idea! It sucks, but it can give you guys ideas! Well, there'd be some kind of banners where the dates and stuff'd be written and they'd be carried by clowns, or trapezists or people working in circus etc. But who would be able to do that?

On another subject,do you know how to deal with photoshop or softwares like that? Because none of us know how to do amazing stuff like Sivan's... Anyway, I got some kind of inspiration momentum yesterday night_nothing fantastic but loads of little ideas! (Most of them are a bit irrealistic, just so you know ) So, as it's a timeline we need to do, I was thinking that we could make some kind of line linking the dates altogether as a snake since they're quite recurrent in DaWack's designs. We could take a (black or white) background with mime eyes like mime marceau's (http://www.francebourse.com/images/analyses/jdh/AFP%20Mime%20Marceau.jpg) who is admired by Mika (he said it a couple of times in french interviews, it seems quite a big deal to him) I know it's far away from the colourful idea BUT it could make a contrast if we use colourful things for the timeline, the writtings and all th lilttle drawings. IMO, it'd be even better, as it's even more characteristic of Mika's "thinking",of what he wants to show, to do for the album. (I had the same idea but with a skull as well ,the skull being quite recurrent in DaWack's drawings too) Another idea, which I got from looking at the poster : You can see in the center this "red-orange circle" which personally make me think of some kind of sun,center of the solar systerm, and it's in the center, the center of his own world, universe,which is all around.It's kind of interesting,don't you think? Or is it really just me raving on my abstract ideas So maybe we could work on that idea, and use it for the background or something else, I don't know For the background (as well) we could play on the word "time" of timeline with a clock (it's round so it's similar to the weird round idea ) or even something with pyramids, which were a symbol of eternity (I am going way too random there) The Yearbook theme is "How much do we love you" partly because it's a bit of the second album that we know_shall we do something about Rain then? I hope I'll come up with some more interesting ideas (to let you think I'm not that crazy ) I'm going to do a few searches on the circus, the mime marceau, and look a bit at the "Amelia" magazines for inspiration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louiza Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 first of all i'm not as great as sivan is with photoshop but i'll definitely give it a try. about the actual design for the timeline now, i'm trying to get inspiration from things that have to do with circus and mimes like m.marceau, even from comics. you know at the comic books when a character is thinking about something and you see what he's thinking in a little clowd above his head? i was thinking that maybe we could have this sort of clowds in our design, one for each month, containing the gigs and maybe some pics and we could connect them to some circus artists like clowns or to ordinary people(representing us the mfc-ers). this could show that everyone's been the thinking about all the lovely things that happened in 2008. what do you think about that?

dcdeb Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Thanks for posting! It looks like there are images from Wire services, am I wrong ? Were there pix from fans in the timeline ? There were wire service pics last year -- but I think the editors want to get away from that if we can this year, because of the copyright issues. As someone else said, too, it will be nice to use more fan pics. We'll have to see what we can come up with (and get away with) for the awards shows, etc. I love some of the other ideas you've been tossing around -- I agree that the idea of a snake, or snakelike Chinese dragon seems to be a theme in the new artwork we're seeing by DaWack... I like the idea of trying to use the circular wheel thing, too. Trapezes are interesting... one trapeze artist could be linking an event to the next one as they swing toward each other... All good ideas! Nope:naughty:Perhaps Deb can do it.. That's funny! LOL! LOL im pretty sure she will prefer me doing it Um yeah... Sivan knows I have many talents but graphic arts/computer graphics are not among them! If Sivan can help us once we decide on a few themes I'm all for it! I love some of things I've seen her come up with. Louiza, not to leave you out -- if you're into that as well, we could use the help I'm sure! dcdeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
