Having finished my outcomes for this project, I think back and realise that it's been a mixed bag! I've found some parts easy, and others not so much. I'm happy with half of my outcomes, but not the rest.
Another thing I want to note (which I guess is personal and work-related?) is how much stress, as well as other things can blinker and inhibit the creative process for me and probably other people too. Worry can fog my ability to make decisions, which takes up time, and can result in work being made that isn't so good?
I want to make things with confidence and enjoy doing so, because I think that when these things are present that's when the best work is made. Or maybe it's all just about outlook? I don't know.
I'm talking about these things because I think being able to do that will help me push myself forward, and keep me going as a person that does, on some level, want to make pictures.
Big respect to all the illustrator peeps out in the world, they combine their love for creativity with work which is risky business because there is the potential for you to fall out of love with it...props to you, pals
Back to the project though, the aim of this brief was to depict the life of a Person of Note through images that weren't necessarily portraits.
Do I feel that I have achieved this? Yes, actually. I used motifs as visual symbols to represent the life and actions of my person.
Other things: I learned things about people I previously knew nothing about! I made work based on a subject that was completely unknown to me. That's a small victory in itself isn't it?
