For this brief, we were all given an article which we had to respond to and eventually produce 3 editorial illustrations for. Problems that we will have to solve during this task include working to set dimensions, and communicating the article's content effectively.
After reading over the article a couple of times and annotating it, I made notes listing potential themes, imagery, and parts that I thought were important.
I began generating ideas by turning the notes I had made into drawings. I find it easier to sketch out potential ideas and images before figuring out how they will fit into a space.
Although I understand the importance of sketching and rough ideas, I do find it difficult to just put down ideas sporadically knowing that they could look messy or bad, or that people may see them as a reflection of what I can do. Maybe in time I will become better at this.
