feedback from 603 crit

children book studio brief 3
dragon illustration looks really good.
the aesthetics of it with the deep blue/purple is really appropriate and effective for this type of story. this gives an indication of how the rest of the story might look.
useful how you have visualised each quote- can see it difficult to get the composition right, maybe working from photos limits possibilities slightly- the thumbnails more effective in working out comp

how is it fun, nostalgic? colour?

really like idea-how can you tell this story differently? new angles?
good use of ink needs developing, refining.

churchill studio brief 1 
really like the drawing of churchill - looks sophisticated, i think it works well with a bit of texture on the jacket, maybe not covey it all.
-quality of work is good, i like the addition of London -skyline and planes
-the ink drawings possibly work better around the box as they bit with the lettering-and gives more character to churchill, seeing him in different positions.
could maybe try adding an outlines of the city/planes to that image in black?
maybe consider single motifs.

very nice amount, thinking about product - research more about 'posh' products -harvey nicks?
think about stock that would make it look sophisticated - glossy? this would make the pencil drawing stand out.
drawing and voice is very refined.
hand drawn text appropriate? - need to ask graphic designer for help on form, design, text layout

wedding studio brief 4
work done so far is beautiful, can see it working really well for the wedding design.
keep going with the delicate style - i think the colour version is more appropriate for a wedding than black and white

map studio brief 2
can see this brief working with a similar style you used for work last year-outline of figure for buildings in the background.

how can you achieve delicacy within a map? research map making in library.
pen ink texture? investigation?

general feedback
to to get a informed understanding of form, design, layout, text
-read graphic design book?
-contact graphic designers?

children book:
write brief out for myself to bend and change the story to fit my practice- give it back to client to agree on it

my images do look best in isolation
dont need to visually communicate everything in the text as its already being depicted in the writing.
children have there own imaginations to make the rest of the story in their own heads.

style of illustration layout/comp- novel with plates? text involved?
age group? - image heavy- young?
nook being read to them?
