VISUAL ESSAY INDIVIDUAL PROJECT- WASTELAND WANDLE

WASTELAND WANDLE Alongside my group project I wanted the opportunity to improve my observational drawing skills and to have a break from all that digital drawing... So I worked on this at the same time! INITIAL RESEARCH For this project I decided to do mini brief 4 which focuses on observing a sequence in a location. I knew I would be going back home over the easter holidays so decided to focus on a significant part of my local area. That being the river Wandle- a chalk stream river tributary of the Thames that runs from south London and also directly opposite my house.        Firstly I went on walks along it collecting visual research in the form of photos and drawings. This way I could examine my drawings and photos to spot a pattern/sequence. ^ ILLUSTRATIONS ALONG THE RIVER WANDLE ^ GIF  I found myself interested in the flowing water and how I could capture this in different ways so made this GIF- it's a pretty shallow idea though but was a fun experiment t...

VISUAL ESSAY GROUP PROJECT- GO WITH THE FLOW

GO WITH THE FLOW INITIAL PROJECT RESEARCH AND IDEAS For this project I decided to join a group with Izzy, Molly and Xena as I have yet to do this in this course and thought that the combined efforts of 4 people would create a much more detailed, interesting proposal.  We chose mini brief 1- change someones day- as our prompt and then as a group we decided to focus on the topic of periods as its something we can all relate to. We initially agreed that our main aim would to try and de-stigmatise them and bring awareness to certain individuals that have different experiences to what is considered the period 'norm'. This would ideally change perspectives and 'someone's day'. To kickstart our period project we created this survey to send around to people who menstruate in order to gather data on period stories that we could possibly use for a menstruation magazine containing comic journalism.  ^ QR CODE TO SURVEY We also each made a poster to put around Bower-Ashton with...

 Seize The Day: The Band the Beeb Banned. INITIAL RESEARCH For this part of the project I chose the text Seize The Day: The Band the Beeb Banned. This story stood out to me as it was both engaging, inspiring and quite funny. It covers the politics of censorship and the Iraq war whilst also talking about band culture and folk music and I thought illustrating this would provide a unique challenge for me! Here is the text-  Back in 2003, Seize The Day were nominated for 'the Radio 3 World Music Awards' for our powerful and moving anti-war song 'United States,' written by Theo Simon, who is the cofounder of Seize The Day. It was a complete surprise when we were nominated for the award in the first place, we are just an English folk band but then, we are in the world, we do play music and people do like our songs. As soon as we heard we had been nominated we told all our fans (of course), it seems our song was quite popular because with only a few days to go before the polls...

RESEARCH TASK  EDITORIAL ILLUSTRATION IDEAS AND CONCEPTS MICHEAL PARKIN Micheal Parkin is a conceptual illustrator, his editorial work interested me as it often displays pressing matters like housing issues (shrinkflation of homes shown in the Portaloo image) and environmental concerns in a humorous way. He does this by drastically exaggerating the issue and conveying it at its most extreme/unlikely state.
