I'm not really sure what I was looking for when I came across the illustrated yearbook below, but it gave me an idea for a brief! Since I want to improve my character design skills, I thought it would be a good idea to make portraits of my course mates and compile them into a yearbook kind of thing at the end of it! its perfect since its our last year! - could give them out as graduation presents!.. maybe.
I'm going to get everyone to fill out a small 'character profile' thing so that I can get an idea of their interests and hobbies - so illustrations won't just be simple portraits, but something a little bit more interesting!
I had a talk with Fred in the progress tutorial about this and he suggested I combine it with the MEFCC brief (so I have one less brief, because I'm taking on too many briefs) - so instead of doing paper illustrations on already established characters, I would do it on my course mates - which Fred thinks (I do too) is more unique! I'm excited - just hope that they won't get offended if I portray them in a particular way ahaha. Also, hope that they wont mind it if I make multiple prints to sell at MEFCC! - I'll give them the original paper illustrations in exchange (if they want it).
As there are 31 (32 if hannah wasn't deferring a year) students in my year, including myself, I will try to create 1 paper cut portrait a week starting from 1st November. This way I'll hopefully have everybody done, and a book printed before the module deadline.
