| Rationale |
-A hand crafted investigation in to
image and type with a focus on publication and merchandise.
-An investigation into bookbinding
as I would like to create high quality books and magazines.
- I am interested in producing
organic work but I would like to use software to enhance my
handcrafted designs. I will also investigate in to illustrated
vectors.
-I am interested in popular culture
and want to produce work that would be sold in design shops.
- I will be using type in my project
with a consideration of illustrated type as I think illustrated
type would create a more personal touch. I want my work to be
personal and not for mass production, one of a kinds, or limited
edition.
-I am mainly going to produce work
that can be sold, merchandise, books, zines. I am not interested
in branding and promoting products.
-I would like my work to inform
people of certain areas of interest.
-An investigation in to a wide range
of media used to make type and images and thought about what stock
to print final publication.
-Concept driven briefs that involve
illustration with a wide range of products produced for popular
culture.
- I would like to make my own
merchandise or decorate a product to enhance it.
-Creating a range of posters and
merchandise that follow a theme.
- I want to focus and practice my
illustration skills by producing detailed illustrations
- Develop my understanding of print
process by using appropriate stock and applying my designs to a
range of different product which are necessary for the briefs that
I have chosen

Brief
|
What do you need to do? |
Deadline |
|
1
|
From the research I have found about fashion illustration I am
going to decided what aspect I am mainly interested in. From this
I am going to start experimenting will styles and media creating
my own version of vogue, concentrating on the information I have
found out about the designers |
|
|
|
I am hoping to have produced a large quantity of my
illustration by the middle of this week. After I am going to start
with my 3rd brief, coconut, this will involve starting
creating merchandise with a flowing theme.
|
|
|
|
This week I will be designing all
the illustration that I need for brief one. If there is extra time
I will investigate the type I need for the projects I have
started. I will also plan out brief four and mind map thoughts and
ideas for a starting point.
|
|
|
|
Brief four should be done by the beginning of the week. I will
finish designing material needed for brief 2 and find out about
stock I will need and information to go in the publication. I will
also need to find out information about printing my publication
(how to make it double sided and page folds) |
|
|
|
I want to make sure all brief are started this week and I will
started illustrating the poetry book. Depending on the amount of
poems and the style I draw the designs should be done by the end
of the week. |
|
|
|
Start designing the packaging for brief 3, coconut; there
should be 3+ types of packaging that I need to create, all with
different illustration.
|
|
|
|
Producing posters, website, shop, labels and merchandise for
brief one, this should take the whole week, making sure I have
covered all areas |
|
|
|
Brief 2, I will be making all the type and layout, publication
and promotion for my magazine, considering price, where it will be
sold and making sure the quality is to a high standard.
|
