When this brief was first set, I had my mind focussed on using photography, as my illustration skills are weak and as the duration of the brief was very short, I decided photography would probably be easier rather than learning to draw. However, for the subject matter of the articles it would be difficult to use photography for my ideas in such a short space of time. At this early stage of the brief, I decided the brief was against me, and I wasn't very enthused by it.
I chose to create the illustrations on the computer for neatness and versatility as previously mentioned my hand rendered skills are not great. My initial sketches were hand drawn, and I now realise they did not take into account the shape and size of the space given for the illustrations.
This is probably one of the first briefs I have ever been given where I was told I could not leave the room until I had decided my outcome, part of me wished I had experimental time, but looking at the length of the brief this was incredibly useful, and I was surprised at how quickly I arrived at a decision, and I stuck with it.
My images I created are average, they look much better on their own, as with the article it doesn't seem to fit, but I am proud that I was able to illustrate on the computer, it is not my forte usually, and I really enjoyed it.
