Tutorial para petición matrimonial

¿Cómo pide matrimonio un ilustrador?
Pues si hace caso a su deformación profesional, dibujando sería lo adecuado. Sin embargo, ¿cómo realizar este trabajo si tu pareja vive contigo?
Guy Shield nos desvela el secreto: se trata de poner distintas palabras en varias viñetas y luego idearse un sistema para que al doblarlas formen la frase “will you marry me?”. Casi nada.
“The images would act both individually and as a series of captured moments of the irrelevant and mundane, utilising street-signs, strange signage and various forms of odd-ball graffiti to spell out the proposal. And naturally, when she’d ask me what I was working on, I could easily say “oh, I’m practising my hand created type because it needs A LOT of practice” and I’d be out of trouble. The hardest trick was working out how I could form the word ‘MARRY’ because just putting it into an individual image would blow my unique cover”
El resultado como podéis ver es una estética muy cuidada y podría ser una tira de postales, de estas que utilizan algunas veces las empresas para anunciarse, invitando a algún ilustrador o grafista para crearlas. Claro, que esta tiene una manera de doblarse un tanto peculiar:
“I’d laid the extended piece, unfolded across the hotel bed. I hid the ring underneath the envelope behind me and I asked Liz to fold it together to match the structure in the diagram on the cover. Naturally, with my luck, this didn’t quite work and she quizzically held one end in hand and said she didn’t get it, so I awkwardly fumbled around with the piece, slowly assembling it together, like my grandfather with an IKEA bookshelf. As I pulled the two ends together to keep it stable, she read the final message and put her hands across her face in shock, which I didn’t quite know how to read. It looked like it could’ve been either “of course” or “dude, what the fuck?!”"
Originalidad en el altar.
