Preparing for Semester Two

In the second semester I will not be setting assignments. You will write your own briefs and will create 5 folio pieces from those briefs.

What I would like to see is that you create a range of works which covers a variety of areas, rather than 5 pieces which are all basically the same.

Your first task is to present a written submission briefly detailing the five assignmnets you will be undertaking.

You will post this document to your blog for assessment by me. It doesn't have to go into details such as document size or exact pictorial content, but it should let me know the kinds of things you want to create.

Please note that if you create five pages from a graphic novel, that will count as one assignment. I'd like each assignment to show some difference from the others to enable you to create a folk which shows a range of skills both conceptually and technically.


As usual you will show me sketches for all your work before you proceed to final artwork.


Areas in which you may want to work:

Magazine editorial

Children's books

Adult books

T-shirt design

Storyboarding

Advertising

Package Design

Character design

Comic books

Websites

Concept art

Finishing Your Folio for Semester 1

By the end of this week you should have all 5 pieces of work from this semester finished and posted to your blog.

Your folio will not be assessed at mid year, but rather it will be marked as a complete folio at the end of the year.

If you wish your editorial illustration (Assignment 6) to be considered for publication by the Big Issue:

1 Please have it finished this week and posted to your blog.

2 Please indicate to me that you would like it to be considered for selection.

3 Please make sure that you have your PS or Ai document saved with 5 mm of bleed. This is the document that will be sent to the Art Director.

Good luck finishing everything and let me know if you have any issues.
