Our newest project is something I'm very excited about as it's a part of illustration I've always been interested in. We need to create a book cover and 3 double page spreads for a book based on a certain word. The word I picked was Transmigration and I've decided to create a sort of adults picture book using a rather creepy poem I found called "The Transmigration of Souls" I've started a few quick sketches and I'm incredibly excited to start thinking about colour and actually creating my book.

After talking to my tutors and being told that they didn't believe our three week project gave a very good insight into what the visual communication course is I decided to go with illustration and I am very glad I did. This week has been a mixture of group and solo courses all lasting 1/2 days. It's been a very quick, fast pace environment to get us settled into the new year. I've very excited to get started on our next three week project.

Well I think I've finally completed both my projects to a standard I am sort of happy with, however, the restrictions I felt during these three weeks and the vague disappointment I feel for my projects outcomes has left me wondering whether I should continue in January with Fine art or Illustration. I've decided that over the Christmas holidays I'm going to give myself my own little project in order to help me decide which path to take,

My illustration project seems to have taken off a little more than graphics, I've got quite a few ideas coming along now and my problem is actually picking one to carry on with and finish off completely, One of the ideas I really like is an illustration of spock that I've been playing around with as I noticed the article mentions star trek really briefly and I thought it would be a fun topic to play with. I've become a little stuck on my graphics project but I'm hoping with my illustration project coming close to an end I'll have some time to properly think about, and find some inspiration for my middle eastern light bulb.
