Final Major Project - Statement of Intent

Design Practice Rational

I want my creative practise to be based around Illustration. I want to use illustration appropriately, contextualising my illustration. Using live briefs that I can adapt will help me to create appropriate illustration based work.I have interest in the product design area, learning more techniques and processes in areas such as wallpaper, fabrics, ceramics, and glass. Innovative packaging, looking at ore gamy to help develop packaging design. This way of looking at ore gamy can also help to develop innovative book design.
