Exercise: Educational Strip

Educational Strip 


06/04/2019
' You have been asked to produce an illustrated strip of up to five frames explaining to young teenagers how to cope with the onset of puberty. Due to the subject matter and the intended age group it is suggested that you use metaphor and humour when conveying the message. 

What's happening to my body? its going mad! '



  I started this exercise with a mind map:

Puberty Mind Map 
  Then I went straight into thumbnails as I had a few Ideas to start with:

Ideas
 I came up with three ideas that I liked the best Menstrual Cycle, Puberty in Girls and Puberty in Boys. I decided to go with overall puberty and in Girls.

  Next I looked at leaflets and the shape of leaflets, I wanted to do something different instead of the usual normal book looking ones. 

Leaflet Shapes 
  I chose the top idea, I think it would work well, its small, compact and discrete for the teenager that get a little embarrassed about things like this. 

Then I created a Character to use:



  Below are my Final illustrations that I have created:





   After I was happy with the images I had created I then made my leaflet: 




Final Idea 
  I am happy with how this turned out I was sceptical at first whether it was going to work but I'm happy it did. After posting this up onto my Instagram I got a private message off a teacher in Australia who said she loved this and is wanting some for her children. 

   There is a few grammar and spelling mistakes but I cant change that now, overall I am really pleased with this.

There are three varieties in the range: Raisin    Choc Chip    Ginger The client wants specifically three illustrations featuring extinct animals interacting in some fun way with a biscuit to be used on the boxes. The drawing should be in full colour, and the client would like the colours to reflect the flavour of the biscuit. How will you stand out amongst the others? You need to decide whether you will exploit 'pester power' or appeal to both adult and child. You may want to develop characters suitable for young children or employ a style of drawing to appeal to your all audiences. You also need to decide whether you will have hand drawn or 'Straight' typography.  You need to submit all stages of the development process - thumbnails, visuals for all three designs and a mock up for at least one.'

Exercise: History of Illustration Part 3

My Illustrations       For my first exercise I had to draw two an Illustration in the style of the Artist I had picked from the list which was E. H. Shepard and one in the contemporary artist that I had chosen which was Patrick Hruby.    As I read the exercise my first thought was 'Okay this could be great' but then as I started to think it became difficult as I didn't know what to draw! So I looked back at all my past drawings and I found what they had all in common was Nature.. I look drawing animals, plants etc.    First I looked at how E.H. Shepard had done his drawings, fine lined with a pen, Fun Colours and the characters had there personality. So I created my own little creature...   I used for this illustration Pin Fine Line Pens and Moz Art Water Coloured Pens, I wanted to use E. H. Shepard style of Art but still incorporate my own style into the drawing to. I think the colours are bright to make it a light picture and a few dark bits
