For our last two week project, we have to work in 3D and design a place setting for a celebrity. The celebrity that I was given was J.K Rowling.
I began the project by researching Rowling character and found that there was a limited amount of information about the author. However, I did learn some things that I found very interesting about her. She suffered from clinical depression and contemplated suicide, which is something you would not expect an author as successful as Rowling to suffer from. Rowling is a very reclusive person, and avoids publicity which is why little is know about her.
She is best known for her Harry Potter novels, which have made her one of the richest most successful female authors in the world. She came up with the idea of Harry Potter while on a boring train journey, here she came up with some of the characters and the idea of Hogwarts. She admits that writing these books was in an attempt to recreate childhood.
A lot of the characters are based on people from her own childhood and life. Hermione is meant to be a loose representation of Rowling at that age.
From the start I was quite happy with the celebrity I got, and had quite a few ideas that I wanted to experiment with.
