Knowledge for my third year: First project to gain a understand of what expected of us for next year and caricatures

With this class I been taught what is expected to do when creating my brief for my next year project. I was show what to do when creating a brief by showing six sections. The sections are intent which is what I am going to investigate, so what my aim? The second section is content, so what is the test content you are going to use to experiment. The third section is communication objections which is what am I communication with my experimenting and what do I want people to think and feel when they see it? The fourth sections is reference, this sections contains what am I referencing, what does it communicate and what is the general intent? The firth section is how does it work by showing visual thumbnails, languages and aspects of production. Final what is my experimenting method.

With this first project we had to design caricatures of Nigel Farage by clay and drawings. My intent for this project was the idea of commutation about the nature of somebody fiction or non-fiction. Then the content was Nigel Farage, the communication objectives for me was to show that he is a evil or silly twit. The reference that I used were photo of Nigel Farage and the illustrator Gill Ray. First my experiment method was to make Nigel Farage into a xenomorph. I decided to make him into this creature is because he mouth is constantly open and imagine something coming out of it. Before I started making a clay caricature, I draw thumbnails of what I planned of what I wanted to do but overall I made the thumbnails look more like a crocodile than a xenomorph and when transform that idea into clay, which is a media which I am not fond of. But overall I was not happy with the design because it did not go with what I wanted to present to the viewers was humour. So after that failure I came up with a new idea which to me seemed much better. I presented Nigel Farage as a butt because he constantly speaks shit to me and also he's double chins remind me of a saggy ass. So after do this reattempt of my caricature I was more pleased with the outcome because to me it provided the humour that I wanted to proved. After finishing this I then draw the 3d model with different media. The media that I went for were watercolour pencils, fine liner and black ink. I used the black ink so that I could get the basic understand out the shading of the object and then use that information to create the watercolour outcome. This process worked very well and would definitely use it again when taking down information of an object. The fine liner outcome was to practice my cross hatching skills, with this outcome I was happy but I need to practice more and take my time because I noticed when I rush I don't make straight lines. So next time, take my time.

Overall this is just the start but it was good to get the information that I need to gain to understand what is expected of me in my third year. I cannot wait for the next assignment and what I am need to do to improve as illustrator.
