Pulp Fiction

A recent project I did which made me very proud was a visual representation of the movie Pulp Fiction. We had to include four elements of the movie: characters, time of the movie, time of the scene, and location.

I decided to incorporate an important item from the movie, the gold watch. Butch had a special attachment to this watch and risked a lot to make sure it stayed in his ownership. I also thought it would be a good way to represent the time of the movie and the time of the scenes. The locations area in a pie chart. Each scene's slice of the pie has the location as a faded image (in Illustrator & printed version, not PDF) filling the background. The characters' icons are surrounding the watch. A solid line shows where they enter the movie and dashed lines show subsequent scenes they appear in. A skull and crossbones show when and where a character dies.

Here is a link to a PDF version of my work. It looks different from the printed version because of changes between Illustrator and PDF, but the concept is the same. It's a big file and might take a while to load.
