I am pleased with the feedback I got, that it gave one of the tutors 'snot bubbles' and they would buy into it. Also that they were glad to see how I have evolved from last years promo pack in terms of recognising that kind of branding did not suit me. Someone mentioned also that the product industry is a hard industry to get into and I would be up against a lot of competition, but that this was a clever idea of where to go with my work rather than editorial or trying to work for design studios.
Looking at everyone else's presentation slides and how slick they were, spreadsheets and their plans for the future I have to admit I was nervous. Not in delivering myself, but a little apprehensive about the content of my slides being too crude. However, I had to recognise everyone is different and my kind of presentation had to reflect what my personality and work is about. I am not an overly organised person that creates polished work, I work fast, I have mad ideas, I prefer to be funny and I think that came across in my presentation. A lot of people have decided illustration is not what they want to do or because they don't want to be freelance they don't class themselves as illustrators, they might name themselves a creative. Before this years module I was thinking the same thing, I didn't want to take on a brief and illustrate it anymore. However after this presentation I came to the realisation that I am still an illustrator, I illustrate things onto products.
CONTEXTUAL REFERENCE
I was also told to take a look at Johnny Cupcakes and message him for advice which is something I intend on doing. A t-shirt bakery, how interesting…
What you may not know about me is that I was a Restaurant Manager before I started the course and I have my own food and beverage licence if I would like to open my own so this looks exciting to me that you can combine food and art. Kind of like Colours May Vary… I could call the food section CHOW DOWN!
This is how I see the brand BOW DOWN expanding, not just in art and product but into clothing etc, that is a good dream to have.
