Showing 10 of my recent illustrations of my memories it was agreed that they are really quirky and work really well as a set. Although they are simple there is good use of negative space which keeps them simple but effective within my style.
The main questions in focus were how I was going to present them and who am I aiming them at by means of a target market. After showing images of my paper stencils cut out from the patterns that I use in my illustrations and my plans of making a big installation out of them it was suggested that they could be used with in my actual 2D work more so especially as the studio space that I have been trying to book is becoming more and more unreliable.
From this I have been thinking of an original question that was asked at the beginning of the project which was: What do you want to achieve and how?
I want to produce a body of work that will show me a professional illustrator and that is personal to me, I like quirky, vintage, old, worn, inky, 'collagy' things, I like textiles, patterns and fashion - I am aiming to sell myself based on this statement. I would like my outcomes to promote me to my target audience, which would mean them being professional and widely available.
I discussed the idea of creating a book/zine which would show a journey of memories from old to recent as I have grown up over the years and having these individual illustrations available to purchase as art prints, which at this point seems alot more promising outcome than a paper installation and just as effective if not more professional.
Questions that were raised that relate to determining a target market from this were:
Where would the Zine be placed? Reflect your style? Where would you sell art prints? Zine would help advertise and support Art Prints.
Think of shops, public places, bars etc that you could exhibit your work and would reflect your style and interests.
