ILLUSTRATION 2: Applied Illustration

STUDIO BRIEF 1: Project Proposal Project Rationale David Thomas Roberts What are you proposing to do? (Product, Range & Distribution) I plan to create a zine about a woman who is excluded from the world she knows due to her questioning of the patriarchal system which governs it.

What do you want achieve?

I want to expand my knowledge and skill concerning environments and character design. From a process point of view I want to spend more time working digitally in the final parts of production, whilst not forgetting analogue methods early on in the conceptual stages.

What do you want learn from doing it?

I want to develop a process that feels more comfortable for me. I also want to play around with texture, while this may not play a large role within my final piece, I feel it is an area I need to explore at the moment.

CREATIVE SKILLS What practical skills do you intend to further develop and apply during your project. What do you intend to use the skills for. Consider extending the use of skills that you already have in order to deliver work of a higher standard as well as identifying new skills that you will need to develop.

Digital drawing is a key area I want to develop my skills towards, however that doesn’t mean ignoring analogue - I still want to develop my skills with textures and possibly tone.

Part of me wants to develop my skills screen printing but I feel that this is an avenue that I ultimately won’t go down professionally.

KEY TEXTS. List a selected number of books, articles and texts that are central to your proposed area of practice. These should include a combination of design and non-practice based books, theoretical texts as well as visual publications.
