After having this morning session it has given me a better understanding of what to do for my briefs. Before I was worried about doing live competition briefs such as penguin and secret 7 because it didn't really relate to my work. But now I've realised that I just need to tailor them more to my own interests so now I have a clearly mind.
Penguin Random House: Draw characters from the books provided (for 2016/17)
>I want to draw characters because this will help with my portraiture skills, even though they're not my usual subjects, it'll still help my skills
Then collect these characters and turn them into the book cover
>This means I'm still taking part in the competition
Secret 7: Focus heavily on one or two songs and make a selection of artwork from these
>I need to improve the amount of research I do before I create my artwork as this let me down a lot last year for responsive.
Give my illustrations a political/satirical focus
>So even though album covers aren't something that I am interested in going into, the context and subjects of my illustration will be the same. Also editorial is about interpreting text, so having to take a piece of music and then create a visual is somewhat similar.
