OUGD503 - Studio Brief 2/Collaborative Practice
Creative Partner
Following the Pitcha Kucha presentations we were indeed into the student cafe where each brief had been placed on a different table for students to congregate around the brief they had a particular focus for. I went to the GAP brief table however no-one initially came which was disheartening as I felt the brief would evoke a really engaging body of work as a result. I began to consider other alternatives when I began taking to an illustration student, looking at their work I felt potentially for a collaboration and with a little bit of persuading he agreed to collaborate on the GAP brief with me. He said he hadn't initially looked at it although felt their was opportunity to develop a good response with a mix of illustration and graphic design.
I chose to work with an illustration student called Billy, he has a confident style and I appreciate his work, he is experimental when it comes to medium which I like and I feel our individual styles could complement one another. I am happy working in a group of two as I feel this will be the most productive as billy can focus on the illustrative elements of the response, which I am unable to specialise in and I can focus on the concept and communication to the target audience. With this established we agreed to meet in the near future to build some solid ideas. In the meant time we set objectives to look at the brief in detail and for billy to start drawing some illustrations in a few different styles so that we could find an aesthetic that we felt would suit the tone of voice for the brief and its audience.
