Applied Illustration

When we were briefed about this module, we were asked to think about our interest and the kind of work we want to be doing. For the next session we were asked to bring in a body of research into one of the following areas:

• Publishing & Book Design
• Editorial & Reportage
• Character & Narrative
• Product & Packaging
• Children's book & Education
• Object & Environment

I've always had my mind set out to work within the animation industry as an illustrator, doing character design and visual development so it would only make sense that I pick Character and Narrative out of the others. However, I am also really interested in applying my illustrations to products and packaging and I also want to try something different while I have the resources and opportunity to do that, so I decided to pick this category. Fred also said that the categories could cross over to one another which means I'd still be able to do character designs if thats what I want.

My Product and Packaging pinboard on Pinterest showcases examples of work that I am quite interested in producing for this module. At this moment I am really leaning in towards products that intersect with textile design - this might be because I have a textiles background and my mind is just itching to touch fabric again.
