By reading a selection of passages from Italo Calvino's 'Invisible Cities' it allowed be to focus more on the art side, than having to create a whole idea of an environment from scratch. Once we read the passages we had to create a minimum of 100 thumbnails, presenting the ideas of what we could create. This helped in the amount of time I spend drawing and I feel that I have improved within some aspects of my work. Alongside this, the influence maps helped in showing more in-depth ideas and where I could expand on my work for example, the colour pallets and structure ideas.
