Summative Statement

My rationale for this project was fairly simple. I wanted to improve my problem solving skills, my drawing skills and my professionalism in my practice including having a clear ‘tone of voice’ in my work. This will help me to solve briefs in ways that are creative and not cliche, it will help me communicate better and help me to be more recognisable in my work. This will deepen my understanding of illustration and establish my practice more and as a result I will feel like I have achieved something really exciting and am proud of. 

I feel as though I have achieved what I set out to do in the rationale. In my rationale I also detailed some themes and subjects ("light hearted, colour, texture, people, nature (trees/landscapes/fish/insects), geometry") that I would aim to look and and I have fulfilled every single one of them. This gives me a lot of confidence in my work and myself. 

I wrote in my rationale that I wanted to make informed decisions in order to enlighten the work and keep it relevant. I feel as though I have done this almost throughout, there are times where I probably didn't consider external influences enough. However I could argue that those times were intuitive, as many moments of deep creative thought are. 

Throughout my work, there has been a link between this rationale, my research and my practice. Each of these have informed one another and vice versa to create a more synthesised body of work. I also wrote in my rationale that I wanted to create work that establishes my practice more and more importantly makes me proud. I am glad to say that I feel I have achieved that; I have produced some work that I can put in my portfolio and would be proud to show to potential clients and agents! Overall I have satisfied the points written in my rationale and exceeded my own expectations of this module.
