STUDIO PRACTICE Project Proposal Name Blog Address Aggie Date 3/02/16 a-‐mardiyah1316.blogspot.co.uk Rationale For my final major project, I am going to write and illustrate a children's book for a humanitarian cause -‐ specifically, to develop girls' positive perceptions of themselves and shift how others see and value them. This project builds upon the children’s book project I did for Cop3 in which I expressed my interest to develop more books based on real girls around the world to encourage girls to act upon their own beliefs and achieve their dreams, as it is SO important! This brief will allow me to strengthen my skills and develop a portfolio suited for my chosen career as a Children’s Illustrator, Character and Background Designer. As well as realising one of my life goals: helping people by using my skills and to try making a positive impact in the world -‐ help raise awareness of issues happening around the world, encourage empathy to people early in life and increase prosocial behaviours. Themes / Subjects • Feminism/Gender equality • Girls/women’s empowerment • Poverty Alleviation • Human Welfare • Education • Character • Publishing • Narrative • Children Audience / Context • Children • Parents • Everyone
