Ides so far for Mark Rothko:

1. Making a large outer box, and then putting everything in smaller individual boxes inside to simulate his paintings of large square blocks of colour.
Here i made a diagram of what i am thinking for my box.









2. For my A3 poster, I want to replicated the same images my box is based on.

Here i have copied the colours and shapes of the Rothko piece creating my own version of his work. This is only an example.







3. For my leaflet I am going to either do one that opens in the middle like this:
Where a Rothko piece has been simplified by me and then when you open in the middle to find the original piece is inside.
Or a corrugated fold one like this:
Where a Rothko piece has been simplified by me and then when you unfold it you find the original piece is inside.







4. The Essay and a bibliography.

5. For my postcards i am going to do, at least 3. I was thinking of doing 2 of his block colour pieces and 2 of his older work. Here are a few examples:
