Shoot From The Hip Cowboy

Project 3.0

Deadline: 3rd December 

Brief 

​SHOOT FROM THE HIP
The aim of these last three weeks is to speed up, trust yourselves more and to remind yourselves that illustration is about making images in your own individual voice. 

We will provide you with a series of tasks from which you will select three - one per week. 

At the end of these three weeks the outcome should be final-art heavy and development light. 
The resulting collection of work should look like it has come from one individual. Don't reinvent the wheel with each task.

The choices: 

1. Earths world portraiture 
​2. T-shirt design 
3. Illustration rules posters 
4. Kick start a Kickstarter (card game or picture book)
5. Beer/ soft drink cans 
6. Cereal box
7. Editorial

Beer/soft drink can initial ideas 

-‘Alcoholic’ drinks for kids, think ‘candy cigarettes’ when we were kids. 
- Soft drinks based on stop motion movies, opportunity for a play on words ‘Fanta’stic Mr Fox or Coca Coraline.

Boggis, Bunce & Bean Beers 

Character descriptions from the book, with illustrations by Quentin Blake. 

Movie stills

Images from Wes Anderson’s version of Fantastic Mr Fox. Fun fact, this is my favourite stop motion movie of all time! 

Initial sketches 

Very simple sketches, just catching an essence for elements I would include in my outcomes. 

Development 

A more in-depth look at colour, composition and design of my beer cans. Trying to keep a consistent visual language so that my beer cans look like a set. 

Final Outcomes 

I’ve designed the front of the beer can as we only have a week for each project and I felt that this was the most important element of the can.

Kickstarter initial ideas 

- illustrated kids book, based on song lyrics 
-illustrated kids book based on an emotion 

Examples of Kickstarter projects 

 Powerful picture books inspo 

Picture books are such a powerful way of communicating difficult subjects to children. Books I have been inspired by include: The colour monster, The bad seed, When sadness comes to call, Perfectly Norman, Me and my fear, Tough guys have feelings too. 

Researching songs 

Song choices include, ‘Garden song’ by phoebe bridges, ‘You are my sunshine’ cover by Johnny cash and ‘Green grass’ by Ellie Dixon 

Kick starter plan: based on a song 

To create a convincing kickstarted I will aim to produce, a front cover and one internal illustration. Book considerations should include, size, typography, included text.
