AD32 Statement of intent and Job wall posts

Plymouth College of Art & Design BA (Hons) Top-Up Illustration

Statement of Intent 2012-2013

Name: Will Nash
Tutor/s: Phillip Trenerry & Caroline Pedler
Module: AD32
Date: 1st December 2013

  • Design a mythical beast – 47 Ronin
  • Xbox One controller design
  • Puffin Design award 2014
  • Gamer pic design
  • Theme: Japanese monster
  • Genre: Mythical beast
  • Context: Japanese style, live action film
  • Audience: A wide audience
  • Relevance and Purpose: I feel that my designs often incorporate designs of animals and creatures, I find this easy to do and enjoy the design process and bringing it to life. For this project I have already decided on a concept for a design based on a Japanese snow monkey, I have already done some successful monkey designs and feel this will contribute to the success of this final.

  • Project 2: XBOX ONE controller design
  • Theme: Classic game characters
  • Genre: Hardware skin design
  • Context: Open
  • Audience: Client of a similar age
  • Relevance and Purpose: As it's a live brief I feel I will be more enthusiastic in terms of time management, trying to get it completed before the finish date. I also feel that I understand the clientèle and Microsoft's general themes used throughout the xbox designs to date.
  • Theme: 'The outsiders'
  • Genre: Book cover
  • Context: Childrenʼs Storybook cover
  • Audience: 'Teenagers'
  • Relevance and Purpose: I think this brief is a good choice as it fits what I would like to do in the future in terms of career and jobs. I think that it would benefit me with learning to cope with deadlines and create good work within a time scale, as well as being a relatively broad brief, having freedom to explore designs I want to look into.
  • Theme: British wildlife
  • Genre: Thumbnail image
  • Context: Profile pictures
  • Audience: 'Teenagers'
  • Relevance and Purpose: I think this brief is a good choice for me because it is an open theme and I can chose my own, so I decided British wildlife, and intend to create the characters in cute and fun ways. It is also a small brief so if I find I have spare time or feel it would improve the quality of my work then I intend to do it last.
    Aims:
    Project 1 – 47 Ronin monster design
    I will create a design practicing with my vector style (monkey image) including a great degree of detail and complexity. I want the design to be original and suit the brief given, as well as to hand it in in good time for the deadline. I will look at the brief and where my designs would be posted and bear this in mind whilst making my rough designs.

    Project 2 – Xbox controller design


Project 1: Design a mythical beast – 47 Ronin

Project 3: Puffin design award 2014 'The outsiders'

Project 4: 'Design a 'Gamerpic' for xbox'

I will produce a variety of original design but consistent with the designs of previous xbox designed skins. To hand it in on time for the deadline and aim for a prize. Using the template provided I will come up with many rough ideas and select the best three to continue for the final pieces.

Project 3 – Puffin book design
I aim to produce the front and back cover for the story book for the Puffin design award 2014. I will adhere to the brief and produce a high quality illustration that will be successful enough to put in my portfolio. I want to go through a design process of possible ideas relating to the story and main points, this will also require gaining a better knowledge of the plot and characters. I will do this through research and possibly listening to the audiobook whilst doing other illustration work.

I aim to create a collection of 6 thumbnail sized character designs for use on xbox profiles. I want them to be stylised and unique as well as look like legitimate designs usable for online profile avatars.
