After having half term, trip to new york, a university interview and some serious jet lag I returned to college with a week and a day left to start and finish a 3 week project, but I think I can manage. Deadlines do seem to be my strong point and while I will not be able to gather the amount of research and sketchbook documentation as the rest of the students doing this project will, I'm feeling pretty excited by the ideas I've had already. For most of the other projects we've been doing I've been doing what I think is right based of stuff I've already seen in that subject matter, rather than doing the kind of work and illustrations that I am good at and enjoy, and I'm trying to kick that habit and so when i started this project I took to my own personal sketchbooks and chose 2/3 pieces and ideas from it that I wanted to use for this project! We've been asked to create something to promote ourselves and our illustrations using maps. I've started designing some front and back covers for the little fold out map leaflets I want to make that I'm really happy with, however, deciding what places I want to put ON the map is proving to be a little more difficult than I thought.
