Assignment One: You Are Now..
For this assignment I was given a very open brief with the words ' You Are Now! ', the are plenty of directions I could go down with this simple brief and I can do it in many ways- such as a fanzine, an artist's books, a comic, a series of posters, an animation, the choices are endless... Considering how much there is I could explore I wanted to remember what my last two exercises taught me. I understand now that I find narrative/story in art extremely appealing and works bes

Exercise: With Hindsight...
This illustration was designed to promote a local event, the brief intended that I use entirely paper collage-- however, I used digital to improve the overall look.

After reading, I find myself inspired and intrigued at the idea of working with other people, most line of work that I am drawn

Research Task: Reflection on Stage 2
Stage 2 (of BA Illustration) as a whole was to teach me about different areas of illustration, different techniques of creating artwork, and exploring, experimenting, understanding what is out there for us to express. Moving into the last stage of Year 2, I must reflect back on the unit to understand where I want to lead my learning towards. The success of my previous artworks came down to planning stages, the research and contextual understanding of what I was creating and w
