talk with Fred about module balancing worries

mentioned to Fred i am feeling a bit lost on where i am, now worried that my briefs are not substantial enough after my tutorial with teresa even though i thought they were substantial for me- my way of working.

 its the process that takes over and you will be able to see if they are substantial or not when you start

unseen work is classed as substantial as well as practical.

onces i done the interview or cop - let him know so i can sit down with Fred and discuss them both, as after Fridays interview it will help me define how i start to break the workload up.

Winston Churchill
F D Roosevelt

after discussion with Teresa, she suggested i could extend the work i do personal for the winston churchill brief (other than what i need to summit) by looking at the other leaders of world war 2 from U.S.A and France, and create a coherent set of gift box illustrations for each leader.

tutorial with Teresa

childrens book brief:

• work in story boards
• work on interpreting text to tell the story/look at deepening your composition with landscapes, characters and elements
• set deadlines for myself
• make sure i clarify with client i have the rights to copyright, and can use the illustrations for other things. unless he wants to buy the copy right  - this would be substantially more to pay. 

winston churchill brief:

• consider exspanding brief to 3 labels/box designs - (france and usa leaded in ww2) 
• make sure winston portrait doesn't sink into the design, needs to stand out. 
• make sure the colours dont over power the portrait
• consider using textures in clothes
• feels the portrait looks best when winston is at a big scale, doesn't work so well small - doesn't hold as strong resemblance.

• clarify deadlines
• consider expanding brief to several landmark posters 

wedding brief 

• turn this into a collection 
• research new trends

BRIEF TITLE-  create a Brand identity for Local trademan Mark Casson

Brief

Create a recognizable brand identity for local tradesman Mark Casson that can be easily adapted to any media business platforms he so wishes to create to promote his business.  He is currently in need of a business card design (3.5x2 inches) a website banner (Facebook) (19wx7hcm) and a van design.  As these platforms vary in size, the design/logo must adhere effectively yet still be recognizable as a set and made obvious that they represent his business.  The design must represent his professionalism, perfectionist and clean quality. The imagery used should symbolize his trade. The colours used need to be minimal to reduce printing cost (van). Though mark already has a logo for he's business, he feels it is to simple and not dissimilar to other trade businesses. He wants a design that is contrast to this, distinguishing his business from others.

brief 4, wedding merchandise brief.

why i choose the brief:

• allows me to develop and take note from last years 505 module ‘applied illustration’. I will have to consider format and composition of my illustrations as well as a themed aesthetic required from the wedding day.

• Because this is for my sisters wedding. I have an emotional attachment to this brief so I am driven to making these illustrations perfect.

• I think it will benefit my work as it is separate from other briefs I am working on in that the illustration development is very limited and lacks complexity. I will have to consider simplifying designs, designing motifs, which exists as something nice to look at without a complex narrative or specific meaning behind them.

• I think it will be a nice brief to just get on with without over complicating it with extensive research.

• This design, though personal to my sisters requirements, would prove to be a viable option to develop further in to other commercially available wedding items such as save the date, RSVP cards, table names and numbers, paper table cloths, bunting etc.

Happy to take on collaborative commission with fellow Creative

I had worked with the photographer previously and wanted to continue the collaboration as it had worked well. I like his style, he has a tendency to use compositions which appeal to me and would be images I would also like to use as a focus for my illustrations. We were both familiar with how we worked, this allowed for an open and supportive interaction where both creatives had equal input in to the project. I was approached by the photographer as he felt my work would fit in with his ideas and I was looking for candid images to use as the starting point for my illustrations, so our creative needs matched well.
