Starting off our knew term we where give an open brief ( An open brief is a collection of competition briefs and they allow us the choice which brief we would like to work on).
Penguin/ Puffin Awards
The wind in the wiloows
Competition Deadline: Thursday 9th April 2013
Cover design, cover copy, spine and typeface
I first printed out a copy of the brief, and the submission ideas so I had an idea of the template and the amount of time and space I had on the template to produce my work on.
From this I started to look at the research side, looking at other illustrators for influence, not for guidance but looking at their unique styles and how other illustrators have Representative the characters. I then went back to my original form for research and got the book, but doing this it allowed my own imagination to run free and the ideas allowed me to have a starting point to my research.
Sence of place sketchbook is a collection of image reference that stimulate my imagination and allow me to great my illustrations based on that descriptions of the book and what ideas I have taken from the book? For example the characters tode, ratter, mole and bager. What their personalities are like? Based in the English country side, what might their homes looks like? ratters lake house, tode Hall, the Dark Dark wood. All these element are reference image will be collected in my sketchbook along with texture, colour pallets anything that represent an idea or influence me in any way.
From the sense of place work I can then begin my sketchbook work and combine different ideas together.

Discussion Forums: The Untamed Tigers
Hello sorry this might be really late but I did post this some time ago and it hasn't saved onto my blog for some reason.
Every couple of months for our on going research and to keep connected with the artist world around us, we started to do monthly disuses about subjects that might link with our knew briefs for something that we might all be interested in developing our knowledge of. I was in a group with Tash and Burt. Our discussion was a book called The Untamed Tigers: The Illustrator & The Self- initiated Projects 20 10
The summary of the writing is about weather illustrates should have constant visual stimulation, should they produce their own work on top of work they get commissioned... why do they do this? and can you tell who's work it is? Is it completely different. Can illustrators have their own projects?
What do you think is meant by the term ' Autherstrator'? An autherstrator is illustrator who has work commissioned but also creates their own work, creating knew projects, looking for knew competitions that challenge your own personal style of working, something that is different from their commissioned style of working.
Are you an Illustrator or a Autherstrator? In my studies as an Undergraduate student I am learning all kinds of ways of learning and it is important to constantly have a Visual Language and communicate my styles with knew inventive ideas, even when those ideas are your own. So I would like to be a Autherstrator, to constantly challenge myself and my imagination, and maybe people will like my own personal work because of my knew ever in riching style of personal representation.
I constantly have a sketchbook full of materials and ideas that I work on though out my projects because they are rich in knowledge and it allows me to look back at different techniques I have learnt though out my studies and us them again in knew and inventing ways.
