503 Responsive Studio brief 2, Collbration Partners

For this collaboration brief the aim is to work with and look for an abstract illustration student/students or film based animation students, this is as these are the main skills and style i lack currently and these are my weakness i my practise therefore working with a creative with in-bodies these will allow me to explore these more to work on them. Also i feel that the combination of the different styles and different creative views will allow a wider range of inspirations, techniques and style to be looked into whilst allowing the group to learn from each other and use each other benefits. The film based animation student is to create something more advertising based, to visualize a tv ad or a ilm ad as this is an area i aim to work in/specialized in the future therefore working and producing a project for this style would fit well with my future aims and portfolio.

The personal aim for this brief is for my personal style/practise to expand into more aesthetically pleasing work. After studying my portfolio there aren't many piece i'm particular proud of the finish or the general style of,  therefore this brief being used as a chance to work with someone who focuses more on the look of the piece and visual aesthetics where i can focus on the ideas. Also both these strong point could come together to to create a outcome that embodies both. My personal strength is the ideas processes and coming up with creative concepts therefore finding somewhere who can help me learn how to aesthetically create and produce these idea these would work well whilst allowing to experiment more with print techniques or styles.Also one of the major personal downfalls is branding, or again creative a piece that graphical due to layout ect looks appealing therefore it might be good to also look for more graphic designer to help.

strong points - ideas, research, organization. type design
need work - styles, aesthetics, drawing, visualizing idea, final outcome, portfolio work

Today there is a group session in aim to meet other creatives on the other course to mix with, a slide show will be shown with our work in the lecture hall with all the course work in combination then after we meet in the different rooms to discuss which students are interested to do each brief.


pitcha pitcha slides, are the side can not included any information or facts about the work the work shown need to be the work that 'speaks for it's self', the work that represents me whilst not needing any description. Also to make people want to work with me the work need to be eye catching and visually pleasing as this is what the main focus of the presentation, the work need to be remembered against the mass of others work, to be noticed without any facts/information so it has to be the work that has been professional photographed or have the most professional feel.

need to represent/strengths/interests- type design, type work, print interests, no digital/modern style, hand created type, college experiments

inspirations - need to show interests in animation/video work, non digital/hand made design, collage based, branding. a wide range of inspiration have been included this is to who a wide range of interests so this shows wiliness to explore different mediums.

 briefs - the main brief i want to work on would be the Greenall gin brief this is as i have a few idea already from studio brief 1 for this module as well as this brief give chance to explore 'britishness' whilst being very open. As the brief is so open it been this would be a chance to explore techniques styles or mediums i've not tested before explained my personal practise. The other brief have been added as these are brief with more illustration/visually based outcomes, someone set as a style to explore with collaboration partner/partners for this studio brief

meeting exercise-
aims : different course, illustration (abstract/print based), animation (film based animation), graphic design (branding) DIFFERENT TO ME, Greenall Gin brief

At the Greenall's brief table there was only a few people wants to do this brief, these where only graphic design and illustration students. After talking to a few different people i've decide to collaborate with Kate Hulme, a illustration student who focuses on print and has a keen interest in mono print style and more abstracts styles of working. After both talking about our practise we both felt that we could use each other background, type mine, image hers, together to create a effective piece of creative for the client. As we both study different areas and different subjects together we could create a piece that uses both of our speacialsum knowledge yet could also be a good chance to explore the different areas more.

We've agreed to meet next week, both go home read over the brief and think of a few ideas then meet up to discusses these. The mediums of communication we'll use to stay in touch and share work will be facebook and over iMessage, keep update and share any work/idea via these channels and also uses these to plan meets ups. In the first meeting we plan to decided on a time planning set deadlines, these will be set along side any deadline we both have and make sure he final outcome is finished before the dead line on the 23rd of march. The aim is to meet up once a week to show progress and communicate about the brief work but this could different based on any other issues.

we talked first about pattern to print based media production for this brief, this would fit my aim for this group brief perfectly. Kate had the idea of applied patterns or prints to casing or package for this brief, this would be a really good aspect of design i'd like to experiment with so this should be considered more in the brief.

do we still want another person??do we want another graphic designer or animator or illustration student as 3 might be a better number/more spread out work
