Collaboration: 'Power Book' Illustrations Social Media Feedback

The feedback and connections made from briefs and collaborations like this are so worth the free work involved. In future this is a key element to keep in mind. Concentrating on how this will elevate my connections or standing - in this case it gave me a direct link to the Visual Merchandiser at Alexander McQueen so I am extremely pleased that I decided to take on this brief!

Instagram message with Santa Agolli, the muse for my artwork. I was so thankful and grateful that she took the time to message me! It is a huge compliment, and also a great connection. I have also linked with her on linkedin and I am going to be researching and emailing about areas in some fashion and design companies that may have internships which suit my skill sets. High context driven fashion is definitely an area of the creative industry that really exites me; Alexander McQueen's Savage Beauty exhibition was a huge driving force behind the themes of my dissertation, on Homo sapien dominance over animals, this year. 

I was also really pleased with the feedback I got from Facebook as I got 6 shares... this is progress for me but its a shame that you can not actually see who has shared the posts. Obviously I aim for more shares in future but any progress is progress so I am really happy that those individuals wanted to share my post on wards. 

Collaboration: 'Power' Fashion Illustrations Finals

I created these black, white and gold illustrations to a really quick deadline as I had only given myself two days to do them in order to spend time on my other briefs too. I really enjoy doing this type of work with portraits etc. However I don't think it pushes me very much. I basically worked to a reference image completely - this was the brief set for me as I was actually given the reference photographs and because I was collaborating with someone else I didn't feel comfortable changing anything in the images. Yet if I was to do these again it would be a good challenge for me to see how I could push them further by playing with proportions and symbolism... at the moment I think they are a bit straightforward as stand alone illustrations - however in the context of the book that they have been created for they do go alongside text so this should help to correspond to a bigger meaning.

I added red and cropped some of these images for my website, find these versions on the link below...

Collaboration: 'Power' Fashion Illustrations Progress Shots

These are my initial pen line illustrations before being digitally edited. Although I try to get them to a professional quality when I am hand drawing them, Photoshop always manages to give them a much more professional presence by making them a crisper white and a darker deep black by adjusting levels. Also I was able to make them ready for the printed publication by adjusting their mode to CMYK.

Collaboration: 'Power' Fashion Illustration Reference Images
