Self Authorship
The brief of this project is to create a collection of work for direct sales whilst considering a number of industry factors.
1. Research the world of ‘illustrator as authors who sell ‘personal’ work online. What sort of work are they selling? What formats are they selling the work in? Is the price as simple as making some images and slapping them on ‘stuff’ or is it more considered.
2. Explore ideas for a subject that satisfies both your own personality and which may realistically find a home amongst an existing community.
3. Develop a collection of illustrator authored work, part of your development is to focus on the outcome, not just the illustrations. e.g. my initial plan might be to produce a hardback book - thus I will have to consider page size and type content. In other words, in this example illustrations are only part of what I’m doing, I’m also designing a book and all its content.
4. Your outcomes should be presented in such a way as to make your intentions clear and believable.
