Unit Summary/Discussing the Brief

At the start of this unit I began with a lot of experimentation of techniques and ways of doing things so that I would have sufficient skills to complete the unit. I then decided that I wanted to produce some sort of gig poster as my final piece so i began researching a lot of music related things. While doing some research I found some drawings I had done previous to the unit which were based around song lyrics, these are under the post title 'Drawings 2'. I was told that my style and way of working was very similar to the artist Joakim Ojanen. I then began to study some of her work and really liked the piece 'Limo-Zine'. I liked the way that it was one long continuous drawing which all folded up to the size of a small book. So I began experimenting with different types of drawing and trying to produce long pieces of work in my style of drawing. The piece of work by Joakim has also been a big inspiration for the idea I then developed into a final piece. It is a continuous piece of work which all folds up and has a slip cover. The subject I decided for my work was music festivals, this was because there a lot of ideas and things associated with festivals which could keep the work exciting, with it being so long. This was also a good decision because all of my previous research was geared towards music so it all tied in.
