So now that I am back in England to start my final year, I feel a little overwhelmed and anxious about the year ahead. My study abroad in a way inhibited my chance to participate in a big chunk of my degree in second year in which my peers learnt a great deal about their own practice and had experience working on live briefs etc. So I was feeling a little daunted and with my lack of work, felt immediately behind.
Who am I now?
- Very much an image maker with a goal of making work which is striking and allows the viewers to challenge their thoughts
- I am a Graphic illustrator.
- I prefer analogue processes.
- My work can be conceptually driven.
- Simplification - shape, colour, line.
What are your plans for final year?
- Experiment more with digital illustration (i.e Illustrator).
- Enter live briefs and competition briefs.
- Collaborate more with artists/designers from different disciplines.
- Look into future job opportunities? Research freelance and in-house jobs? What do I want to do?
Research Goals:
- Create an online presence (Linkedin, Instagram, Website).
- Attend events nearby, visit exhibitions, talks.
- Contact people, don't be afraid to email/message people in creative industries.
- Create a strong portfolio - develop a STYLE/way of working. Will this be digital? Analogue? Who is your target audience?
