Fanarchitecture
With the growth and popularization of internet culture, and the job and networking opportunities that it provides, many artists take to the internet as their platform, taking commissions, building a network within the artist community, gaining publicity, and adding to their resume and portfolio with subsequent opportunities. While many artists and graphic designers create their own, original content, a very efficient method of gaining added exposure would be to create fanart for a prominent figure, so that they gain exposure from fans browsing the tags. (If they’re lucky, they might get a shoutout from the celebrity themselves!) One way I’d like to work on my portfolio is to find an artist or public figure I genuinely admire and use my architectural skills and education to design a space for them, depending on their personality and their needs.
