Still trying to develop my tone of voice
Recognizable style or brand identity
Therefore this year I want to figure out
How and where I would exists in creative industry
What area of illustration my practice fits into
My worries for the year
Keep the momentum up after the summer break
Confidence or ability to do it all over again especially with the
expectation of work to be of higher standard
Assumed process would be ideal
Detailed
Rustic
Handmade quality
Ironically required to produce a set of prints for our 504 module
Unfortunately lost desire
Unpredictable
Unruly
Frustrating for me as I
like my work to be precise and accurate!
In addition to this animation
Overall
Challenging and exhausting module learning 2 skills at ones
Constant battle of not being happy with the quality of my work
Eventually accepted
unrealistic to expect outcomes at the same standard as professional printmakers
and animators I have been influenced by
Influenced me to
change my attitude towards rest of my work not to compare myself to others.
If our work was all
the same, the world would be a very boring place
This being said reassured choosing single disciplined course
would not suit my illustration practice
Hard to adapt to longer modules
Balance my time accordingly
anxious about what I should be prioritizing
Worried that I would be doing enough for each
Spent the majority of the first term on 504 as this was first to
submit
did not work in my favour when other modules came creeping up
learning curve independent study
term 2
off the page exhition
first experience of selling work in an established environment in a
professional manner
had to concider
presentation and packaging
summarization
pricing
interesting to see that I sold prints I wasn’t expecting to – ones
I almost didn’t want to exhibit,
Shows that I am perhaps too critical of my work, and that my
opinions on a successful piece are the same as others.
Potential taste of further
Made me think outside education bubble
This term momentum picked up
Encouraged me to pull myself together
More time doing less time worrying.
Spent majority of term
on responsive
Module influenced my
consideration of audience
And applying my work
into a plausible context
Vital to a successful
piece of work, especially commercial.
this module also
encouraged me to work on the Presentation of my work for competition
summissions with presentation boards
making sure it was
clear, organized and recognizable as a set
I also
focused on the practical side of cop this term.
As my
essay disscussed the preconceptions of homeless people
Took
part in external project at st Georges crypt to gain primary research
Visited
crypt weekly
Improved
understand
More
passionate about topic Inevitably made me enjoy producing outcomes
Experience
has made me more clear about my area of interest
Creating
work relating to social issues as I can connect to it on a personal level and I
feel this best suits my delicate way of working.
I
have always found cop a daunting module lack of confidence in writing
Addressed
this early one on one tutorials
Module
become less overwhelming as it was tackled
Week
by week.
Reassurance
my work was on the right track
505 –
Helped
me rationalize my workload to what’s realistic.
Downsizing
my expectations and brief gave me a specific
and
focused directions.
Giving
me more time to develop outcomes to professional finish
new
illustrative technique informed by contextual reference
instead
of creating replicas of photographs I began to illustrate the sense in a
abstact way
this
year especially
Appreciated
position I am in being surrounded my other creatives at LCA.
responsive
and pp lectures have made me acknowledge the benefits of collaboration with
other disaplins to improve or advise me with my own practice.
I
collaborated with photographer William kneeshaw to take photographs for me to
draw from for 505.
Asked
for advice from graphic designer Liam Bailey about my font and layout choice.
Consulting with them has given me
reassurance and confidence in my work as they specialize in wach of the
creative fields so I trust in there opinions.
term 3
Applying illustrations to
different formats,
encouraging knowing that
existing illustrating can be reformatted and appearing new without having to
start from scratch.
Visiting
tetly book fair
Reignited
my love of creating illustrative books
Influenced
my idea to produce a book for my 505 submissions.
Creative presence addressed
my interest into how I can get myself out there.
Quite reserved person
but weekly sessions with john gave me confidence in my work and made me realize
my practice will not be considered or recognized without self-promotion.
What I will take from this year
I aim to
continue to blog little and often as this makes it easier to reflect on my
progress at the end of each module.
Think
realistically about workload and what I can achieve in the time given
Continue
using learning support to help me structure my time accordingly.
Take
advantage of other creative at LCA
What I want to
do next:
Continue to develop work to a professional
standard, considering its production, range and distribution.
contact
professionals I am influenced by for advice and experience about the creative
industry I will soon be venturing into.
Continue
to develop my illustration aesthetic in general!
