Responsive:Finding Brief

MANGA JIMAN

I want to do this brief however it only for legal UK resident so it is very important to make sure the competition I enter is open globally or for international students.



Royal Watercolour Competition

For this brief I can produce whatever I want and there are no restrictions or requirement on the final piece since this is just a 'beautiful painting of water colour' competition but this interests me due to their flexibility and the allowance on the type of style. The main element the competition looks for is to  push the boundaries of watercolours and produce some creative illustration outside the box. The deadline of the brief is January that I can finish this during December. I want to experiment with different materials before submitting the final one for example painting on different textured paper and various painting tools etc. I want to find a theme for this brief from what I have experienced and feelings I have when painting and try not to make it too specific so as to keep the idea abstract.


Penguin Children's Book Cover Competition

I have looked at the previous winner's work, knowing what kind of format and style the company is looking for and obviously use my own illustration to fullfill the brief. The brief has explained the requirement clearly and allow a wide range of media for the final piece which I am wishing to make a mix media illustration in order to experiment with different materials. The deadline is in March but our responsive deadline is in January therefore I need to start drawing ideas now so as to spread out workload. Before starting, I have searched online about what kind of story Emil and the detectives is and decided on a theme the book cover would be based on and in this case I want to keep the illustration as simple as possible, have bold typography and a profile of Emil. It is quite challenging because this is a brand new experience to create a book cover for a big company, the illustration has to take the format of the book into account and include the important information of the book as required onto the book which all new to me.




Loopdeloop

The main idea of the competition is to loop an event over and over again which personality do not want to make it too serious but have fun and meaning at the same time would be my aim doing this brief. Loopdeloop is a bi-monthly brief and I want to enter the Dec-Jan competition but still the new topic has not be announced yet therefore I will finish the other two briefs first and the loopdeloop when the topic is there.
