Mam Tor Roughs

I really enjoyed the roughing process for this personal brief, I was great to be able to draw on location and take from the experience and I think this affected the quality of the lines in a good way. I will definitely look to bring this into my practice in the future.

Revised NBC Roughs

After our last meeting, it was discussed that we should change the angle of the illustrations in the instructions. Obviously this is slightly frustrating, as it means I have basically wasted the past 3 months of work and 36 images which will now go to waste, and now have to restart the brief from scratch. However, the team have discussed that I will be paid in full for the time I have spent on the brief so far, and will be paid again for repeating the brief.

Here are the revised roughs for the brief, this time with more depth in the images and a harsher perspective.

NBC Brief NEW Timetable

Extended Practice NEW Schedule

NBC have totally ballsed up the previous schedule, so heres a new one.

Penguin Brief Summary

This brief was unexpectedly easy for me. I struggled through the research phase of the brief, but I'm very grateful that I persevered through and finished the book as I think I got a much better understanding of what the book was about and the concepts it talks about, allowing me to create much better covers because of this.

I think the covers I produced are some of the best covers I've made over the past 3 years of the course- and on thing I think has helped me out most is the understanding of the use of type within my images. My use of type in my images has never really been terrible, but I think this years' COP (that's right!) module improved this 100x!

This module was a great one for me in terms of reflecting on my own practice and way of working. Trying to work as best I can to a strict schedule has definitely helped, and reflecting on my own capabilities as an illustrator/ designer has also made a big difference- understanding type much better and appreciating the process of research and understanding a brief before diving straight in.
