I'm now fully over my food poisoning and have managed to get together a piece for the animal farm silent auction. Instead of trying to rush the 5 birds out of 10 I had left to draw in a day I have decided to just draw one puffin, but big. So with this simplified contingency I now just have to buy some nice coloured paper and trace the line drawing a few times and I'm done, it can be framed, put up in 60 million and hopefully bought by someone. Should be an awesome night for the course.
The course is at a bit of a strange juncture at the moment where we have several projects finishing (animal farm on wednesday, the PPRD deadline coming up and D&AD) but also some beginning; the all important professional project and the essay. I confess that I haven't really thought much about either of these and as such I'm gunna put in a brainstorming session tonight to get the ball rolling.
I've got a few more bits for PPRD to finish but I've also accrued some little bits I can submit for it during animal farm such as the temporary tattoos I designed and my various illustrations for it, alot of which I haven't used.
I also have a presentation layout on indesign which I have developed from the one I used at the PPRD crit so that I have a standard presentation sheet which I can use when sending work to clients. I have adapted this to A3 so I can also use it for my portfolio sheets and presenting larger work to clients. This is really useful as it will save time as well as providing me with a way of presenting my work in a uniform, professional way.
I am going to adapt this into an invoice design and use it as the basis for any other documents I will frequently need. I'm also thinking about possibly creating letterheads, comp slips and maybe a business card but only if I have time as it is unlikely I will need them just yet....
Im planning to go through my sketchbook work and scan and upload a selection of drawings to my flickr just to show some of the self initiated work I've done.
