Richard pointed me in the direction of Scott McCloud, and I loved this idea of using the same visual language as the thing I’m talking about – so in this case Pokémon Go – to create my piece. Using things like player stats as ‘credentials’ and avatars rather than real life photographs to represent the people I’ve spoken to both seemed like good ways of doing this. 

There’s a Pokémon event on at Arrow Valley this weekend so I’ll be taking my camera down to get some pictures too. 

The Pokémon event I was going to this weekend to take pictures has been cancelled due to corona virus which is a right pain, will have to re-think where I’m going to take my photos for the piece.
