On Monday we were assigned into Blogging groups, the others in my group are; Adam, Orlaith, Sophie, Zara, Aaron and Abby. We are to make sure we all know each others blog groups as this will become important in the next few weeks/months.
In these blog groups we were given the task of deciding on five main areas of Illustration. We settled upon; Narrative, Promotion, Conceptual, Informative and Investigative. We were asked to find 5 examples for each and then whittle that down to our favourite five images (one from each category).
Here are my final 5 examples:
This is my example of 'Narrative'. I chose this as I feel it shows how simple a narrative can be - it sets up and executes a joke within four panels. The work is very digital heavy but that isn't always a bad thing.
This is my pick for 'Investigative'. Its a photo of a page from a book I own called 'An Illustrated Life' which is a collection of illustrators works and features heavily their sketchbook work which I feel is very important to any type of artist.
I dont watch Mad Men, however when I saw this 'Promotive' illustration for it's sixth season I fell in love with it! The piece is made entirely from pencil crayons (before the digital text is added) and you get a sense of how much time it must have taken to create such a detailed piece of work.
Although it is an illustration that comes from a dark time in recent human history, the poster for the Anti-Semetic film 'The Eternal Jew' is a very informative poster. It exaggerates all of the features of the Jewish portrait in an attempt to 'inform' German people about the unsavoury Jewish man.
Finally I picked Greg Capullo's 'Concept' art for his work on Batman (2011) here he has detailed the changes in characters facial expressions. I am a huge fan of comic books and hope to break into the industry one day so things like this really appeal to me.
We will present these images to the rest of our Blog Group next week before going into the next task.
