STUDIO BRIEF 1 - Putting presentation in order

1. dwarfs - welcome to my presentation
2. im gonna start by showing you some stuff I've done over the years that i won't miss (unitled1jpg of previous work)
3. this is my branding from last year (2ppp) 
4. what i set out to do this year (4ppp)
5. extended practise informing (3ppp)
6. where i came to finally deciding to pursue the idea. all the work i was creating could form part of the same thing (1ppp) i was confused between wanting to do the site, and making a portfolio for adele pierce illustrations which isn't really me. Until fred said you can be bow down, and have two separate portfolios. 
7. the penny dropped (3appp) I could be adele at bowdown. Have the site, and if i wanted to work for other clients have a separate portfolio of work catered to them
8. (5ppp) the type of work i want to create
9. Instead of boring briefs like ones I've done in the past or ones i read and dismiss like secret 7, warhorse, packaging labels.. it's not me. (screenshot cat)
10. this goes back from the beginning too and what i enjoyed making. i was confused and i battle with myself constantly when I look round and see other peoples work. i think I'm not cut out for it i don't want to be an illustrator i just have mad ideas
11. screenshots of earlier work.. but i had to just put my own spin on things and twist them to cater to the briefs but still be myself. i wanted to draw ursula eating a kfc, and michael jackson working in a chippy
12. i like to shock people, even outside of work I'm not normal. 
13. pic of me as a tit
14. (6ppp) bowdown bubbling along. its been brewing for a while since lifes a pitch. since fred told us how much money you can make off just making greetings cards alone. I was like i want to do that. and the presentation went so badly, but there was something in there that was great, and i needed to bring it back and make it happen 
15. slide on lifes a pitch
16. who I'm talking to
17. (screenshot skeleton) it can be disheartening when people don't reply or turn you down
18. but sometimes it can be lovely
19. chris simpsons artist. you can get some good advice
20. linkedin. it can cause a stir, or give you great support.
21. linkedin pics
22. doodle for google - them seeing my work, making a portfolio and work in a week, sending it over, hearing nothing back, feeling disheartened, looking back and thinking actually its not for me 
23. this is what i wanted to say (screenshot) when people turn me down
24. but instead i kill them with kindness and bug them more (9bppp)
25. (9appp) i realised, why am i trying to work for these people? why am i watering down my content to fit into something and only take so much of a cut for it? they are my competition now
26. we all have dreams don't we. mine is to move away (10ppp) I'm getting on I'm 26 i want to see the world and thats why being online is great because you're mobile and you're not tied down to somewhere 
27. another realisation i had is that i can't do everything. i might have good ideas but i only have two arms. (11ppp) i am no graphic designer. i can't do logos. i have to work with others or commission them. 
28. (12ppp) the website. this is ongoing. until i have all of the work ready for it some of the pages can't go live yet. I've gave myself until july to have a good amount of work completed ready to sell. starting with prints and greetings cards and eventually moving on to phone covers, cushions, tshirts this year when i am comfortable with getting my head around taking orders. Then i want to expand further with the products and eventually i want bow down to be like another thread less, like another ohh deer, like another paper chase, get other artists involved and for them to sell their work. but you have to start off little and dream big. 
29. this gives me the time to get as much advice knowledge and help as possible before launching. (13ppp) speak to marketers etc 
30. cutting out the middle man. i wanna know where i need others, and where i don't. (14ppp)
31. (14appp) cause ultimately i don't want to work for anybody else
32. some illustrators need that guidance and be told what to do with a brief, but i am the opposite as you know i get bored. I'm happy being left alone making what i enjoy. --- link to bingo being the same (screenshot of bean)
33. plus, i just don't like people
34. (15ppp) whats next? so I'm moving home in july, setting up a studio, getting a bank loan, buying equipment I've got a wacom and mac but i need printers scanners paper envelopes and stuff. make work for the site until then. find out marketing strategies so that when it comes to the launch, people know about it. 
35. (15appp) me and dad going to the bank
36. (15bppp) me and dad going to the bank
37. and hopefully people will buy into it, buy into me, buy into bow down and throw money at me (screenshot leo). but it might not work, i might have to re think things that aren't selling, do more research on what is and I'm willing to cater to that if things aren't being sold. plus ill always still be looking to make work for clients as long as it suits me, as long as i can make my own rules and bend them like bingo does
38. (16ppp) keep your eyes peeled. give me support. spread the word. bow down is coming
39. cheers (screenshot bean)
