I want to refine my working practice to produce work faster, and I want to continue in exploring the tone of voice or authorship in my practice. I want explore applied illustration further by creating my own products in which I use illustration as a tool to help me bring life and uniqueness to a range. I am planning on designing small separate capsule ranges for retail for the market/audience of young mother/baby, party ware, home ware, DIY. Creating and designing products myself will be a challenge but I believe it will show my range of interests well in my portfolio. For this brief I also want to build on the character and narrative work from last year and have selected two briefs, which will enable me to develop this further. Themes / Subjects Themes: • Young/ bold/ bright • FUN/ CHARMING/ HUMOUROUS • Silly • Interesting • Memorable Subjects: • Retail product design • Character development • Fabric and textile printing • Paper construction Products / Methods of Distribution Products: • Children’s soft furnishings • Home-‐wares • Paper & card decorations/props • Book cover design • Curated Book of Spot Illustration
