OUIL505- Research

The first few weeks of this brief were spent researching different places around Yorkshire. At first it felt like I wasn't really getting much value out of the process and I felt a bit like I was wasting my time. However, upon reflection I really think this part of the process has been the most influential over my practice for a while. I think research is something I have often overlooked in the past, often diving straight into the design stage and ignoring the thought behind the illustrations.

This first part of the brief has not only helped me to decide which locations I wanted to use, but it also inspired me to get started and producing some ideas. I almost with I would have taken my sketchbook with me on location rather than just taking pictures as I think I could have produced some more ideas on location.
