Editorial & Reportage
Within my work I find I'm really inspired when I'm responding to something real, I feel there's more pressure to do the topic/subject justice, which makes me work harder. For example, in OUIL504, I researched Haruki Murakami and read that he liked strong and bold design, which made me want to bring that aspect into my editorial illustrations about the motifs within his work. Since they were about Murakami, I wanted them to be something he'd like and that represented traits of his personality. I enjoy making observations and incorporating them into my work, it makes sense to me to make work about something real. This is also because I want the audience to be able to relate to what I'm saying through my work.
However I'd like to look more into:
Publishing & Book Design
Product & Packaging
Object & Environment
Throughout the course I've really admired work from Penguin and Saul Bass, so I really like the thought of making really graphic and striking book covers. Over the summer I also made my own Etsy shop so want to be able to branch out on what i'm able to sell on that. I'd really love to be able to design my own products and packaging for them and be able to have some sort of an income (however small it may be) from it. I have a really keen interest in architecture and because a lot of my work, aesthetically, tends to be quite precise and thought out it'd be good for me to try and apply this to my interests (in architecture).
