Responsive- Competition Briefs

Briefs:
- YCN UK Greetings
- Secret 7
- Batsford Prize

Rationale:
UK Greetings- I want to work on creating work suitable for younger audiences, especially as it this would help me with my future work with Anorak. I want to explore colour and character throughout this brief, as although I'm confident with colour, character is something which really challenges me. This brief will definitely be a challenge for me, but it would be FUN.

Secret 7- This brief looks for varied and quite abstract outcomes, which will need to be thoroughly thought out in order to create personal but accessible responses. Because the outcome is so simple and straightforward it also takes some of the stress away of having to create content for different formats, so would be a good complement to two other more hectic projects.

Batsford Prize- I'm really excited by this brief, especially how it focuses so much on purpose, and since it's so broad in the outcome, it means I can use it to my advantage and create as much work as I have time to, based upon the other briefs. I'm very aware of my time management in this module, so I want to ensure I don't undertake too much work from the start.


Practical skills / Media / Formats:
- I'm not entirely sure what kind of media I will be using yet, but I would love to explore traditional print more, especially in the Secret 7 brief. I think for the UK Greetings brief I will potentially try to explore more hand rendered outcomes, as I think this will be an effective way for me to develop my character skills. I think the main technique I will use across all three briefs is roughing, as since I don't have too much time to spend on these briefs, I need to generate many different ideas and starting points to ensure I get straight into making strong, thought out imagery.
