Overview of where I am at so far

WHAT I'M DOING/WILL BE DOING

1. Ohhdeer cushions. Done
2. Talenthouse - Borns visual artwork. Done
3. Doodle for Google - 5 homepage designs. (2 done so far)
4. Topical illustrations - Proposing 5. Done 3 so far : Kanye, Kris, Beyonce. Mocked up on a mock-up website of what I want to do when I leave uni. This will be an ongoing project so it's a proposal.
5. Threadless designs - an extension on Bowdown topical illustrations idea (need to figure out how many I can do) but this is where else I can take those topical illustrations from off my own site, and submit them to other sites to be sold too.
6. Dicapricards - 5 cards on leonardo celebrating occasions. 2 Done so far

The *BIG KAHUNA* - Titanic zine. 30 pages rewriting the titanic with a humorous twist. 

WHAT I ATTEMPTED:

I attempted a christmas jumper design for Talenthouse, missed the deadline

I attempted YCN Orchard Pig but got bored of it, I had the idea of Notorious P.I.G but didn't know how to use it for the brand, it didn't fit the aesthetic they have I think and I wasn't willing to adapt it to suit them.

What I read through and considered doing initially in my proposals:

House of illustration - Warhorse. Decided it just wasn't me, it wasn't funny. 

Graphic Competitions - Chicago Film festival poster, Embracing our differences - Again not my kind of thing I was doing them for the sake of it at the time and it's not actually what my work is about.


WHAT IM ENJOYING MOST

• Dicapricards because they're current
• The titanic zine because it's ticking along beside everything else and keeping me entertained, and I can spend time on the illustrations
• Topical illustrations because again it's current I am researching current trends and thinking of ideas. It got me attention on Linkedin and by a radio station that have asked me to have a blog on their site of the stuff because it's so fresh. 

WHAT I NEED TO RESEARCH

• More into the titanic storyline to try make it sound realistic but yet so silly that it's funny, peoples reactions and facts that sound absurd. 
• More topical news to make illustrations off of.
• Card industry
• Whats selling on threadless
