Having been thinking about what I will focus on in Level 6 over the past few weeks, I have come up with a few very simple plans for what I will do with the year
- I want to begin and try identifying which aspects of my work I really enjoy producing and what aesthetics I feel are most successful and true to myself. This will be in hopes of being able to brand myself more accurately and build up a more consistent portfolio.
- I'm going into Level 6 with the same desire to pursue book illustration that I left Level 5 with. In order to become more adept at translating text into illustration, I want to push my conceptual image-making much further. I want to be able to say more with less convoluted images. This is key to making a good book cover, and I've been reading a lot of articles as it is related to my COP project.
- Having looked at a couple of print studio websites, I feel like this would be a fun and useful venture for me to undertake after my studies. Therefore, I want to become as experienced as I can in printmaking. I'm not sure I want to delve too deep into etching again this year, but lino and screen print are two mediums I'm excited to pursue further this year, especially after how well screen print has gone for me in the past.
- Self promtion: My promo pack at the end of Level 5 was silly and contrived - I'm going to focus on products that are simple to produce and practical - a more professionally produced set of business cards, stickers and post cards will probably suffice. Things like stickers can be distributed more informally on the street, bathrooms, etc.
