So far in the development of my project, I feel
that I have challenged my abilities
to come up with new and original ideas. Though, even
at this time, a lot of those
ideas seem to be going nowhere and I need to focus
on one idea and develop it
further or try out several and decided which is the
most effective.
From the beginning I have had a desire to contextualise
my work in some form
and aim produce work with a high standard for the 'real'
world. I have also
been experimenting with different forms of traditional
and digital mixed media
and collage in an attempt to find the most suitable technique for
the chosen
subject. This has been primarily documented in a
sketchbook but also on this
blog in order to keep my thoughts and process
together and keep track of
where I am in the project.
How do I feel about progress so far?
All in all, I do honestly feel a little lost in the
project, mainly due to my personal struggle with getting my ideas documented visually
and perhaps not researching enough into my chosen theme to enable
my ideas to flow easily.
Even so, I have some strong starting points for
potentially successful ideas, but I think that a bit more research and visual direction will help me
to gain a better focus.
How does my project relate to future career
aspirations?
In regards
to future prospects, I have tried to focus my project on producing work which
may
eventually
become part of a sellable product which could feature within the illustration
industry. I
am also trying to test out different areas of illustration such as editorial
and mass
production
to see which suits my style most. My aim for the end of this project is to
create
illustrations
of a high standard featured and presented within their appropriate contexts.
