CONCEPT BOARD FOR ILLUSTRATION BRIEF...

To complete the last task on the illustration unit we had to construct a concept boards that reflected what inspiration we had taken from illustrator's work we had researched.I decided to use a lot of influences from Howard Tangye's work so I encouraged his style of work into my concept board and used appropriate images that I was most inspired by. I used collage to display my images so it would work with the rest of my boards. Overall, I feel my concept board is strong and strongly shows what I have been inspired by and what my style has become and which pathway I want to go with my drawing.

FIRST SET OF ILLUSTRATION BOARDS...

To strengthen our portfolios for interview we have been set the challenge of creating 6 illustration boards, 2 design boards and a concept board. For my first set I was especially inspired by Howard Tangye's work using the form of colour to emphasise certain features and used ink in a similar way he would in his work. I was also inspired by colour schemes that he had used and colours from the capsule collection I had created so it would suit my specific target customer. Breaking down the preparation for this to become a success I had to find two close up shots that would work together and experiment with different techniques to see which one I preferred and had to evidence where I had sourced the inspiration from and what design I was trying to illustrate. For the second board I decided to bring through other influences of Jonathan Looman and collage techniques but keep similar structures of the face and colour within the features. I was very surprised at how well these turned out and was really proud of these as they suit my style and suit my target customer. Which is your favourite?
