Responsive- Initial live brief investigation

To start this module I looked at all the currently released briefs from varying illustration and design websites.

Below are the briefs I was most drawn to:



I signed up to D&AD and one of the only ones which really jumped out at me was the Adobe one, as it specifies illustration as a related discipline, which the others don't.

I'm really excited by this brief, as it really links with the editorial work I've been doing recently in 504, and I love this new, innovative way of thinking about how to tell a narrative without words.



Another D&AD brief which interested me was from Monotype, which was completely type based, as type is really something which I would like to use more effortlessly within my practise. However, my typography skills aren't really very advanced, so I think this would possibly be a good project for the collaboration with some Graphic Design students.



This live brief was the one which excited me the most, as I used to do a lot of work with natural based forms, but I've recently fallen out of practise with this kind of work, but I would love to try this sort of stimuli again. Also, I think the opportunities for using natural resources to create the illustrations is so exciting, as I'm wanting to move my practise into more sustainable means, and I think this is the perfect way to trial it with my work.



This brief is probably the one most similar to work I've already done, but I think since the stimuli are created solely for this project, it would be such a good opportunity to try visualising some brand new ideas in innovative but familiar manners.
