For this module I need to establish what areas of work my practice is best suited to. I also need to have a more cohesive portfolio. Experimenting is important but with each new piece of work I do at the minute I try a completely new way of working and I'd like to be more productive by using a successful piece of work and building on it.
I will take on the Penguin Student Design Awards - Owen Jones, Establishment book looks like it will suit my work best as I like the tone and subject matter.
D&AD adidas brief - this brief is open and interesting. Illustration for sport brands is something I'd love to work on. The brief is more for advertising and design but it will be fun and good practice for future briefs.
I want to strengthen my editorial work as a lot of editorial articles capture my interest as I'm easily distracted and I can create work quickly in response. I will select a few articles from editorials from editorials like New Scientist, The Guardian, New York Post, Vice etc and make responses.
Personal work
I think personal work is going to be very important for me. It's going to be vital in showing potential clients looking at my portfolio who I am as an illustrator and encourage like minded people to want to collaborate with me in the future. Making self initiated briefs with a focused discipline area such as editorial will help me realise what kind of work I want to make.
At the moment I'm trying to create work for various areas of the industry and spreading myself a bit thin so I want 603 to be at first an exploration of various briefs, as above, and begin to realise where I can thrive as creative practitioner.
I will continue to push my process forward using hand-drawn based work and digital colouring as I feel I am able to express my technical and informative skills as a practitioner best this way and this allows me to avoid relying on collage when I struggle to initially tackle a brief using hand-drawn methods. Hand-drawn only work will also make more visual sense cohesively for my portfolio.

603 - 7 x 7
I had this piece along with another two as a series accepted for the Zero Zero Seven brief and featured on The City Talking site with a little bio about my work. It was nice getting a bit of coverage and recognition outside of the university bubble. They spelt my name wrong so I had them correct that. No point having publicity if they spell your name wrong!
