The final result
After a bit of tweaking, I am pleased with how these turned out, especially as I wasn't that happy after I first coloured them in. But that was just me wasting my own time because I knew that she wanted them bright and patterned so I should have done that the first time round, so I have no idea why I did that really. I'm taking this as a learning curve to actually listen to what the client wants so I can meet their expectations quicker. But luckily this brief was done in an informal way via Facebook, and I knew her through a friend so the pressure was off.
Overall, I am happy with my outcomes, mostly because of the reaction of the client as she was extremely pleased with what I had produced. This does make me realise that it can be fun and rewarding being an illustrator! Especially when you know that someone has benefited from my illustrative skills, it feels very nice.
I'm also quite impressed with my time keeping on this project, as I managed to produce it over the course of a weekend by scheduling myself to not going out and staying in and ploughing on my with my work. Also as she gave me a short time frame to work in (briefed on the 24th Feb and deadline 6th March) which makes it more like a brief that I might be given in real life as they usually give you a short time frame.. I think.
Also, as this falls into the editorial category, I am very proud with my outcomes. As I have never really been good at editorial and the thought of producing editorial work terrifies me massively. But this shows me that I can actually be capable of it, and I think I just had it in my head that I can't do it so shut it down before I really gave it a go. I will definitely take this with me into my other modules, maybe experimenting again with editorial work (even if it does still kind of scare me).
