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.
