Major Project - Brief Draft

BA Visual Communication

Major Project


Name

Dan Carey


Brief

Produce a body of visual work based on my own development and personal style.


Context

The idea of this project is to develop my skills and personal interests in the area of Illustration.
The subject of Illustration is integral to modern advertising and other aesthetic purposes, but it is also an are which Artists can use for pure creative output.
I wish to construct a body of work, developing and learning the techniques and skills required to become an established Illustrator, whilst exploring my own personal style and creativity.



Written work to support project

"The development of art diaries, journals or sketchbooks are extremely important in developing your arts practice – it also gives insights into the thinking and working behind your works. It also gives you the opportunity to document mistakes, the learning and hopefully moving forward in ability."
