New Statesman brief


2) We've done an interview with Moby who wouldn't let us photograph him. He's all angst-ridden about Trump. He lives in the Hollywood hills, just under the famous sign but is quite disparaging about the place and kind of people who live there. The space is the same as the other one: 188mm wide x 178mm high.’


This new statesman brief is a great opportunity for me to show someone in the industry the kind of work that I produce and for me to get an understanding of what they expect from the illustrator. I've decided just to do the one brief and create multiple outcomes from it, to show that my different approaches I have towards the same brief. I chose the Moby brief over the WW2 brief because it just appealed to me a lot more, but I will NOT BE DOING DONALD TRUMP because I really don't want to be known for doing him. I want to focus more on Moby and living in Hollywood. Problem is I know almost nothing about Moby, which I suppose isn't a bad thing, because if I were to do editorial work in the future I wouldn't necessarily know the subject. 

Overall I am excited for this brief, and hope I can turn it around quite quickly!
