Responsive (Brief selection)

We worked along side illustration students to analyse developed work briefs and identify what was good and bad about them why and what where the objectives that need to be identified if we were to work on them. Everyone was also made to identify their preferred area of practice and why so that they knew what up coming competitions they would like to enter and what future job they would go into professionally.

I have enjoyed doing this task because it has helped to understand how to highlight and identify the most important key points, objectives of a brief and target audience. I have also developed a better understanding of briefs through reading difficult briefs and making sense of non sensicle information provide through the use of key words or phrases.

Our objective now is to enter 3 competitions of our choice, particularly in our preferred work areas for what we plan to do in the future. I have looked into one graphic design and two Illustration competitions.

I have chosen three illustration briefs, I have chosen these briefs because even though I am doing animation I enjoy illustrating mostly because I enjoy developing my drawing style, but mainly for the reason being that I have many other projects going on and if I was to do animations, I feel that I would not be able to mange too well because there would be too much work to do all at once involving frame work and I feel that this work may clash with my other briefs.

Competitions I am planning to enter :

• Infected by art volume 4 competition (Deadline: December 4th, 2015)
• International Reggae poster contest 2015 (Deadline: November 30th, 2015)
• World gallery of cartoons skopje (Deadline: March 31th, 2016)
