The start to BA8...

For BA8 I have decided to set myself three projects within the unit. The first, as a starter short project will be for the Penguin Design Awards to illustrate a book jacket, then I want the next two to extend and develop from BA7 and run alongside each other.

Project Proposals Ideas (draft):

1. Illustrate a Book Cover for The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton (Penguin Design Awards (target age - teen fiction.))

2. Illustrate an African Folk Tale

3. Design a conversational print - create print through narrative imagery from african tale. Based on YCN Award's Cath Kidston Competition brief:

“Design one new conversational print taking into account our brand values and print style. Examples of conversational prints within our range would include Cowboy, Garden Birds, Guards of London – these are prints with a recognisable picture within them. Classic Cath Kidston floral, spots or stripes would not be described as a conversational print. The print should be designed to be used across three of our product categories; Women’s Fashion, Women’s Accessories and Home. We are looking for an original theme and a fresh new take on our unique visual style. Your print can take any visual direction you wish, as long as you believe it to be in tune with our brand.”
