Hattie Newman is an artist who has worked on various creative projects for a variety of high profile clients. among theses and one of her personal favourites is a piece she made for the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park map. She created a geographical accurate, small scale recreation of the park out of paper. 

The detail is staggering and the novelty must make it an instant hit with a young and older audience. I ask my self the question who wouldn't love something like this? 

I'm seeing this more and more in the creative industry, meaning companies are seeking to actually create things instead of creating them on a computer. Take the 2013 John Lewis  Xmas Advert, rather than create a landscape on the computer that actuality created it for real on a small scale! Recently I created a video for my Asian Twist presentation with the same methods in mind.

The point being is that there is no limit to how you create a graphic message and usually these novelty, unique ideas, are the ones that stand out from a very busy crowd. Overall it reinforces the fact that you have to be willing to try new ways and processes and as for this method, it's one that I will be exploring further in the future and looking forward to it!!!
