Study Task 6 What is illustration for?

Independant task

 Group Task

My individual views

Benefits of PPP with regards to professional practise:

• I mush myself to create work at a professional level and aim for more finished work
• It enables me to find work that interests me and reflects my practise
• I question my line work and push it further
• It influences me to experiment with different materials
• Makes me question why I draw, the purpose of my drawings and helped me better understand how to draw funny for example

Problems :

• I am open minded and can appreciate all illustration but its rare that I find work that really inspires me and reflects what I'm about
• I think maybe I do not look enough because I don't know how to find my shared interests quickly - for example I have to sift through a load on AOI before I find one
• It can make you feel disheartened about your own work

Where do I find my illustrators??

FROM TUTORS/PEERS

This book 'How to massage your cat' Fred borrowed me as from my work he figured I would find it humorous, and I did.

The New York Times

I'd love to think that one day I could work with the New York Times but I am not sure if I have it in me to read an article and make an image based on what I've read and have it actually fit the brief that they would want. It seems a long way away for me

My own personal books

I particularly like the last one because there are so many quotes in there, that are really bizaare and just make me think a little bit weird sometimes and outside of the box.
