Aesthetic Apparatus

This is a design company that produces screen prints for various musicians. Paul Blow told me about them and said to look at the test prints that are for sale. They are just a mishmash of other prints that were used for the bands. Here are a few examples which I find particularly interesting.

Paul Blow

Had a lecture from Paul Blow a very well established illustrator whose clients include: Time Magazine, The Guardian, The FT, Newscientist, Reader's Digest, BBC Worldwide, LA Magazine, New York Magazine. He talked to us about his career starting from his university work. He also explained his process of working. After the lecture I had a tutorial with him in which I should my work and got feed back. In this tutorial he suggested further research and other illustrators to look at.

Initial Statement of Intent

Through the next three months I intend to research festivals of various cultures in order to produce physical masks, which can be displayed, worn or photographed. I want to look into various folk and tribal cultures so as I can produce masks that represent those festivals. I want to produce several masks, out of paper folding and using other techniques and materials. I will start looking at origami and other folding techniques. I will also start looking into strange festivals from around the world.

Presentation Document

I will be using this blog as my way of presenting my work and development through this project. I intend to try and update this document every one or two days. I want to use this document as a means of following my development and so when it comes to my project being marked there will be a clear timeline showing the development of my work. It will hopefully show how my statement of intent has evolved into my final exhibition. I intend to follow my work, inspiration and ideas with scanned images, photographs, videos and general posts on this blog.
