1. What learning have you inherited through
this module and how has it impacted on your own understanding of professional
practice? Consider yourself as a student at University as much as an
illustrator
|
|||||
|
·
The importance of
having a solid definition of what your practice is as it sets up the
foundation for how you shape yourself and define the work around you within
that practice.
·
Seeing myself not just
as a person but a product in the fact that I’m not just selling my work I’m
selling myself (no dirty way) as well. Your level of professionalism towards
a fellow practitioner or company is integral in gaining good stead and is as
important if not more that the quality of worked produced.
·
I’ve inherited the
knowledge that I am not a novice illustrator now but a professional and
should treat my work and develop myself in such a way that shows me that.

|
2. What approaches/ types of
research have you found most valuable over this module?
Why did they have such an
impact?
|
|||||
|
·
Pintrest as a way for
researching artist forced me to become aware of the art I was looking at and
how I categorise it as good/bad and what prominent factors within different
works either group them together (such as strong line work) or set them
apart.
·
Forcing to promote not
only your work but yourself as a product made me rethink the way I view
myself and present myself to others as my own self-deprecation effects the
how far I, as a practitioner can go within illustration industry.
|
|||||
|
3. In what way has PPP
informed the way your work in other modules and your illustration practice as
a whole?
|
|||||
|
|
|||||
|
·
It’s helped me gin a
back catalogue of artists within my head which helps within the way that I go
about different briefs as having that kind of knowledge helps me quickly and
efficiently decided what kind of elements within this illustration will be
the most important and what artist I know relate to this to help me look at
effective ways of getting the content and context across.
·
When learning what
illustration was I was able to use this foundation definition as a standard
to criticise both mine an others work against. I made me a loot more aware of
how something can turn from a drawing to an image to an illustration and how
it is important as illustrates that when we answer a brief we make sure we
are aware of the fundamental factors that make up or practice.
|
|||||
|
4. What weaknesses can you
identify in your PPP submission and how will you address this in the future?
·
Inconsistent blogging, I saw and did a lot
more primary research into other artist such as galleries, exhibitions and
talks however because I didn’t consistently blog forgot to blog them down and
forgot how they were helping shape my practice.
·
I have found it hard to move away from
looking at just 2-d drawn character design when I have analysed artist and
because in my other modules, especially the last two I’ve seen a shift in my
methods and media I feel like the artist I blogged about should have
reflected my journey too.
|
|||||
|
5. What communities of
practice and professional contexts do you intend to investigate further as
you approach level 5? Why do they appeal to you?
|
|||||
|
|
|||||
|
· Performance- whether
through zines, posters or films I’m really getting into the idea of
performance within practice and work. Push how we view illustration as well
as allow me to create problems for myself that I can only solve through
performance, which would open me up to a greater sense of adaptability.
· Character- I love
character design and I always will however looking a character design created
in different ways other than drawing but via crafting would be really fun and
interesting undertake for me. I am well aware that as a practitioner I am charterer
based but pushing the medias and way I create those charterers needs to be further
explored. (Look into Pictoplasma)
· I want to learn more
about the theoretical side of illustration. A better and more in-depth
understanding about my practice will allow me to be more confident in my work
as more exploratory and experimental pieces of work can be easily defended and
defined as illustration through but greater understanding of the fundamentals
of illustration.

The evaluation of your work
is an important part of the assessment criteria and represents a percentage
of the overall grade. It is essential that you give yourself enough time to
complete your written evaluation fully and with appropriate depth and level
of self-reflection. If you have any questions relating to the self-evaluation
process speak to a member of staff as soon as possible.
|
|||||
A copy of your end of module
self evaluation should be posted to your studio practice blog. This should be
the last post before the submission of work and will provide the starting point
for the assessment process. Post a copy of your evaluation to your PPP blog as
evidence of your own on going evaluation.
