Tutorial with Ben

Two focuses of editorial and publishing. 

Editorial (Self-directed Brief)

• Importance of variation in format and subject matter. 
• Formats: full page illustration, cover illustration, spot illustration, square format, portrait format, landscape format. 
• Deadlines depending on the format e.g. full page, give yourself 2 weeks. 
• Challenge yourself with content. 
• Source articles from : The Guardian, New York Times Op-ed & Book Reviews, Popshot magazine. 

Publishing (Competition Briefs)

• Book Illustration competition : Create 3 illustrations and a binding design for The selected adventures and Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes (by Arthur Conan Doyle). 
• Penguin Random House :  Animal Farm (by George Orwell), A brief of history of time (by Stephen Hawking), Noughts & Crosses (by Malorie Blackman). 

Because these two projects/contexts are very heavy in content and require in-depth research leave yourself some room for play and non-cognitive image-making.

• Mono-printing
• On location/observational drawing (Yorkshire sculpture park, Hepworth Wakefield)
• Play in sketchbook
• Make drawings/prints into zines or run of prints?
