Hi ,

“The fundamental opposition in One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest is not between madness and sanity but between being trapped and free”

I would just like to know what your ideas of freedom and being trapped would be ?

These answers can be approached in anyway that you would like, silly, sensible, or fun.

I will be illustrating a series of concepts based on these ideas.

Thank you for your time and for doing this if you choose to .

Faces for cuckoos nest. Abstractions

3rd November
This idea is based on pill capsules and the patients that were taking them, some didn't know what they were for.

This is based on one of my sketches... but developed into an abstraction with colour.

One flew over the cuckoo's nest competition , sketches

I've just uploaded some sketches for this book cover comp. " one flew over the cuckoos nest"

I am doing this as my first design brief of this semester and this shall also feed into my next project too... dealing with the concepts of being trapped and free, or sane or insane .

In my sketches...

(cuckoo represents the insanity and the wrong that shouldnt be there.. the cogs obviously meaning the workings of the brain etc... and also representing the factory/machine like descriptions that the book refers to. Nurse ratched trying to correct them like they are products in a factory line. Obviously with some patients treatments like electroshock therapy and lobotomy are used and break them rather than curing )
