The exercises that you have completed in this part should have helped you identify the forces which shape a commission and the processes to go through to create an illustration ready for print. You should now be ready to work as an illustrator.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This assignment is an opportunity to consolidate the understanding you have gained so far, reflect on the work you’ve enjoyed, the successes you have had and the areas of illustration you feel most drawn to. It allows you to create certain parts of the brief yourself so that you have the maximum capacity to show off your interests and talents.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you think about what you are going to produce, keep on with your ongoing visual research by looking at examples of existing work or contexts. Above all, be open-minded and analytical and try several variations until you arrive at a brief which feels most interesting for you.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brief<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The title is<\/em> Seven days.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These can be seven days of the week or random days that tell a story. Your interpretation can be objective or subjective. You can produce seven separate, one large diagrammatic or a continuous strip illustration. You can decide on the media and methods you will use; the context – magazine, newspaper, book, brochure or poster, and the intended audience.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need to write yourself a brief that is clear and challenging but manageable.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to do<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Be aware of the processes which have so far led you to your development in ideas in generation, visual research, image construction, understanding contexts and media usage.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure that you are clear what the final size should be, but you can work at any proportional size. Use worksheets and sketchbooks to explore solutions and refer to examples of work which solve similar types of problems. Think back to how you have treated similar briefs. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need to submit all your working stages from thumbnails to final art work.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I began this assignment by researching various options referring to ‘seven days’ (along with other topics that are associated with the number seven, which I thought I might be able to use). These included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
