I found the tutorial with Fred really helpful today! I basically wanted to use it to clarify my briefs, and that is exactly what I got out of it today! As well as my printed SOI and Briefs, I also came with questions to ask about each brief so that the session would be used more effectively and specific to what I want to know, which can be found below:
one of my main concerns was whether I was taking on too many briefs; Fred pointed out some of my briefs could be combined to create one, more solid brief. For example, the Damous Adventure Shop one could be combined with the illustrated kitchen and homeware - so instead of looking at another theme I could still look at the theme of adventure and apply that to the products. This way I would be able to really sink my teeth into the development of skills I want to improve on; the image making process and the print processes that I would like to explore more into.
Briefs like the plein air painting and the digital painting/environment studies (where its more about me just improving my skills without really having to produce any end product to it) is better to go into PPP than Extended Practice - so I wouldn't have to feel the burden of having to do it or feeling bad if I don't feel like I have the time to do it as Fred said that the 5 briefs I have is substantial enough - otherwise I would be putting too much work on myself. and briefs like this should be because I want to do it not because I have to do it, then I wouldn't enjoy it as much.
My briefs are now:
1. The Visual Development Artist
2. Leeds Children's Hospital Liver Book
3. Damous Adventure Shop
4. LCA Illustration '16 Yearbook
5. YCN
I will rewrite my statement of intent in the next post, so that its clearer for me and my peers to see what it is I'm exactly doing.
